Vance talks FEMA, Biden/Harris Administration response to Helene
SUMMARY: The Harris Administration has expressed concerns about FEMA running low on funds for disaster relief, especially if another disaster strikes. Many Americans are frustrated that the government allocates billions towards illegal immigration while struggling to support citizens affected by natural disasters. Critics argue that it is disgraceful to prioritize aid to illegal immigrants over providing relief to hardworking Americans whose lives have been devastated by storms. They urge Vice President Kamala Harris to focus on supporting American citizens rather than neglecting their needs, emphasizing the importance of addressing domestic concerns over immigration issues.
