Uncovering the Biden Administration's Covert Agenda: Diverting Disaster Relief Funds to Fuel the Open Borders Crisis
The Biden-Harris administration's handling of federal spending has raised serious concerns, as they appear to be using a range of tactics to divert funds intended for disaster relief and other critical purposes towards their open-borders agenda. This commentary delves into the administration's attempts to push through a $40 billion "supplemental" funding bill that holds FEMA's bailout money hostage to sending billions more to Ukraine, while also funneling hundreds of millions of those funds to support illegal immigrants through grants to activist organizations and "sanctuary" cities.Exposing the Biden Administration's Deceptive Tactics to Fuel the Open Borders Crisis
Hijacking FEMA Funds for Illegal Immigration Support
The Biden-Harris administration has been accused of using FEMA's disaster relief and flood insurance programs as a smokescreen to channel funds towards their open-border agenda. Despite these programs being intended to help taxpaying Americans prepare for and cope with natural disasters, the administration has been using the funds to pay activist NGOs to settle migrants illegally in the United States. This includes diverting over $332 million from FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter Program to "assist communities receiving noncitizens released from custody," effectively housing and transporting illegal immigrants to cities like New York.Exploiting the Supplemental Funding Bill to Funnel Billions to Ukraine and Illegal Immigration
In a cynical budget negotiation tactic, the White House is attempting to push through a $40 billion "supplemental" funding bill that holds FEMA's bailout money hostage to sending billions more to Ukraine with insufficient accountability. If this tactic succeeds, hundreds of millions of the funding won't go to disaster-afflicted Americans, but instead to providing housing, food, health care, and transportation for illegal immigrants through grants to activist NGOs and "sanctuary" cities.Expanding the Funding for Illegal Immigration Support in the DHS Budget
The Biden-Harris administration's efforts to divert funds towards their open-border agenda extend beyond the supplemental funding bill. In its fiscal 2024 budget, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has already requested a directly appropriated $83.5 million for FEMA Shelter and Services Program grants to "nonprofits and local entities to provide support to noncitizens released from DHS custody." Additionally, DHS has asked for $800 million—$650 million more than the previous year—"for communities to support migrants who have been released from DHS custody pending the outcome of their immigration proceedings."Undermining FEMA's Disaster Relief Efforts
The Biden-Harris administration's actions have raised concerns about the impact on FEMA's ability to fulfill its core mission of providing disaster relief and assistance to Americans in need. FEMA's major disaster relief and flood insurance programs are already in debt and require annual refilling, yet the White House's supplemental request uses this as a smokescreen to slip in grant money for their open-border operation.Resisting Congressional Oversight and Accountability
The Biden-Harris administration's attempts to divert funds towards their open-border agenda have faced resistance in Congress. Republicans have witnessed DHS using appropriated money to facilitate mass illegal entry over the past two years and are now wary of the White House's efforts to ramp up this practice in the fiscal 2024 budget. The administration's attempt to Trojan-horse the border-related funds into the Ukraine-FEMA bundle in the supplemental request has further heightened concerns about their lack of transparency and accountability.In conclusion, the Biden-Harris administration's handling of federal spending has raised serious questions about their priorities and their willingness to undermine critical disaster relief efforts to advance their open-borders agenda. As Congress and the public scrutinize these actions, it is crucial that the administration be held accountable for its deceptive tactics and the potential consequences they may have on the well-being of American citizens.
