You're trying to make this a "both sides!" thing but it isn't a both sides thing.
MAGA said horrible things about California at the time, that's true.
MAGA has been saying horrible things about FEMA the whole time as well.
That's why comments like this strike such an obvious exposed nerve for Republicans: Because it's the truth. Because Republicans did in fact vote for this.
"Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts."

You have created a problem that makes its own gravy.
The problem is you opposed to people coming to America to work -- people that couldn't possibly work in America if there weren't Americans hiring them.
So, what's the cost of your anti-work policy?
At the hardest right extreme, from Federation for American Immigration Reform:
"Illegal immigration costs each American taxpayer $1,156 per year ($957 after factoring in taxes paid by illegal aliens)."

What to do about it, from Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy:
"The study finds that undocumented immigrants contributed $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022 " a number that would rise dramatically if these taxpayers were granted work authorization."

COMMISSIONER BELEW: We have money in the bank, $5.1 million, that was sent to Kerr County.
JUDGE KELLY: We didn't ask for it. They sent it.
COMMISSIONER BELEW: They sent it.
MS. DEWELL: Exactly.
COMMISSIONER BELEW: The money is in the bank right now. Hasn't been spent. In the event that you don't spend it, you send it back. That's part of the Treasury's rules on it. If you do spend it, whatever percentage, there would be no expense to the taxpayers in Kerr County. It would all come out of that account, no matter what you do with it.

Undocumented immigrants contribute more than $55 billion in taxes every year. In 2023, households led by undocumented immigrants paid approximately $89.8 billion in total taxes, including $55.8 billion in federal taxes and $33.9 billion in state and local taxes.

A decade of missed opportunities: Texas couldn't find $1M for flood warning system near camps
apnews.com
... Over the last decade, an array of Texas state and local agencies missed opportunities to fund a flood warning system intended to avert a disaster like the one that killed dozens of young campers and scores of others in Kerr County on the Fourth of July.
The agencies repeatedly failed to secure roughly $1 million for a project to better protect the county's 50,000 residents and thousands of youth campers and tourists who spend time along the Guadalupe River in an area known as "flash-flood alley." The plan, which would have installed flood monitoring equipment near Camp Mystic, cost about as much as the county spends on courthouse security every two years, or 1.5% of its annual budget. ...
