White House claims FEMA is NOT funding resettlement of illegal aliens, but agency website says otherwise

White House claims FEMA is NOT funding resettlement of illegal aliens, but agency website says otherwise.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre falsely claimed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency is not using its funding to resettle illegal aliens, even though the information is advertised directly on the agency's website.

The FEMA website openly states that its funding has been used to house illegal immigrants who have entered the United States during the administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Critics point out how the White House and its federal agencies are not "Comparing notes" as DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently admitted that they have spent for the migrants and that the agency now lacked adequate funds for the remainder of the hurricane season.

FEMA, which says that its mission is "Helping people before, during and after disasters," explained in 2023 that it was preparing to spend over $360 million in taxpayer dollars in fiscal year 2023 alone to house illegal immigrants through its SSP. That figure increased to $650 million in fiscal year 2024.

The agency argued that the use of its funds to support illegal immigrants is necessary because "The present-day irregular migration of noncitizens is unprecedented," leaving states and localities unable to handle the surge.

FEMA clarified on its website that no disaster relief funds have been diverted, stating: "FEMA's disaster response efforts and individual assistance are funded through the Disaster Relief Fund. Disaster Relief Fund money has not been diverted to other, non-disaster-related efforts."
