Alejandro Mayorkas is demanding more money from Congress for FEMA.
President Joe Biden said that he may call Congress back to Washington for an emergency session to approve new disaster relief funding.
Of course, FEMA will need more money. Helene's damage is vast. But so far, FEMA's efforts have been a failure. Their protocol driven response - set up for a standard hurricane along the coastline is inadequate. They have been completely inflexible, unable to respond to this new disaster. Unable to even get help where it is needed most.
So far, FEMA has been ill prepared to handle the disaster in W. North Carolina. People are suffering, maybe dying because of FEMA's poor response. Rescue efforts have been dismal.
The truth is that FEMA, under the thumb of the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) has been focused on DEI and climate change, as well as paying for illegal immigrants - at the behest of the White House.
For instance, a portion of FEMA funds have been diverted to help pay for migrants entering the country- including illegal aliens. This is not what FEMA should be focused on! This is an unethical - that money is reserved for emergency response.
Congress made a huge mistake in placing FEMA under DHS - through the Patriot Act.
FEMA must be a non-politicized agency, not under the thumb of the executive branch - who directs DHS (in this case, the Biden administration).
DHS is the same corrupted agency now in charge of the Secret Service.
DHS is a corrupted organization from the get go and needs to be disbanded or reorganized.
