Mayorkas says no more disaster funds but IG report says agency has billions

[riclag]

They got billions!🤔

Homeland Security Inspector General says agency has billions in untapped funds.

 

 

“The report also says "$8.3 billion in unliquidated obligations" was "for disasters declared in 2012 or earlier" that analysts say could be returned to help people battling for survival in disasters” .

Not being an American, it looks like US government budgeting is a big mystery to you.

 

Congress allocates money to agencies, not as a single line item, but in many separate buckets. Mayorkis was noting that the bucket for disaster relief will run short this fiscal year. But there is money in other FEMA budgets.

 

Sometimes it's easy to move money from one bucket to another. Sometimes it takes an act of Congress.

 

But don't expect the Republicans in Congress to act on disaster relief.

Hard to believe anything Mayorkis says. This is the guy who says the border is secure.
