U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas' words have
come back to haunt him as video from earlier this year touting the
Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA’s) preparedness before
Hurricane Helene exposed shortcomings in the organization.

Mayorkas this week warned that FEMA was running out of funds as
hurricane season continued to slam the southeastern United States. The
organization has enough funds to deal with the aftermath of Helene but
would not have enough to "make it through the season."

This warning stands in stark contrast to previous comments Mayorkas
made in the summer assuring that FEMA would be able to handle upcoming
weather crises. 

"FEMA is tremendously prepared," Mayorkas assured reporters in a video
from July. "This is what we do, this is what they do, and the key here
… is to also make sure the communities who are potentially impacted
are prepared as well."

"And it’s not just hurricanes and wildfires – also extreme heat, which
certainly some parts of the United States are experiencing," he added.
Mayorkas stressed that FEMA has "exercised these muscles, regrettably,
year after year" due to the "increasing frequency and gravity of
weather events."

However, Mayorkas did argue that FEMA’s disaster relief fund remained
in a precarious position and needed fresh funding from Congress ahead
of an expected heavy hurricane season. In July, he anticipated running
out by "mid-August." 

Mayorkas stressed the need to be ready for the "consequences" of
increasingly severe weather events as climate change continues to
exacerbate disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires.

Perhaps the money being spent on illegals should support the taxpayers
first.
