"No, Biden didn't take FEMA relief money to use on migrants " but Trump did"

Department of Homeland Security Announces $300 Million in Direct Funding to Communities Receiving Migrants and $340 Million for a New Competitive Awards Process

BTW, if we want to know "Is there adequate relief?", the ones to ask are the disaster victims, not the bureaucrats.

Two observations:

Since FEMA is assigned money for non-US citizens, are we acknowledging that the border is a Federal Emergency?

Since FEMA spent just 1B on non-US citizens, where does the rest of the 150B / 451B come from?

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released figures in May 2023 calculating the
financial impact of the crisis for cities and states across the country, finding that the annual cost
just to care for and house the known gotaways and illegal aliens who have been released into the
country under Mayorkas' leadership could cost as much as an astounding $451 billion

Another key comprehensive study is published by the Federation for American Immigration
Reform (FAIR). The group's 2023 report found that illegal immigration's annual net burden on
the U.S. economy as of 2022 totaled more than $150 billion.2 In particular, researchers found that
illegal immigration imposes around $182 billion in federal, state, and local costs, while illegal
aliens pay approximately $31 billion in total tax contributions.3 The federal government is
responsible for more than $66 billion in expenditures, an increase of 45 percent from 2017, while
the states foot the bill for more than $115 billion in additional spending on illegal aliens, a 30-
percent increase from 2017.
