I’m not a brain surgeon and I’m bad at math, but I don’t think it’s a great look for my campaign or my competence when my fucking Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas tells reporters that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds” to see Americans through the rest of this hurricane season.
Because, even though I’m bad at math, it’s pretty easy to look up the amount of money my administration has spent on dumb things and also the amount of money our government has made the great American taxpayers shell out to other countries and people who are not Americans. Many, many, many billions. With a B. I think these are the numbers, approximately. But they are provided by the government, so… not sure if they are correct:
$24 billion to Ukraine.
$11 billion to Israel.
$2 billion to Ethiopia.
$1.5 billion to Jordan.
$1.5 billion to Egypt.
$1 billion to Afghanistan.
$1 billion to Somalia.
$1 billion to Yemen.
Almost $1,000,000,000 (that’s a billion – NINE zeros) to Congo.
Almost $1 billion to Syria.
And … we gave access to $10 billion to Iran six weeks after it killed three American soldiers…
What!?
In past two years, we have given nearly $1,000,000,000 (that’s a billion dollars) of FEMA money (that doesn’t count the many many many billions that has come out of other government funds. From tax-paying Americans.
The city of NY alone, for example, is planning to spend $3.07 billion in FY 2024 to house migrants.
And then Hurricane Helene victims. Well, we have repeatedly said we will give them everything they need. In fact, I recently gave the ability for each victim to apply for $750 emergency funds. I mean, they don’t have computers or internet to do that (or food, water…homes) — but who’s counting? $750 is a lot of money. I mean, we pay $350 a night, every night, for the illegal immigrants in NYC, but who’s counting?
Additionally, we have provided:
Untold thousands of dollars to each illegal immigrant that has entered the U.S — cell phones, cash cards, rides to other states, food cards… I guess a bunch of stuff. And the cost to Americans — who knows?
Last year, FAIR published a report entitled the
Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers. The study strives to illustrate the
myriad of ways Americans pay for illegal immigration. The conservative estimate is that Americans now pay $150.7 billion dollars annually due to illegal immigration. This figure represents a
net cost— estimated expenditures are $182 billion. Approximately $31 billion is received from illegal aliens in taxes, only 17 percent of the
costs they create.
But who’s counting? And where was I going with this? Too many numbers.
And yet, not enough for Americans…?
Fucking Mayorkas. If I’ve learned one thing — it’s that you’re not supposed to be truthful to the Americans. Especially in an election year.
Good? No, no good.
