Trump Administration transfer 10 million in funds from FEMA to ICE

The Trump administration transferred 10 million dollars from the FEMA budget to the ICE budget right before the start of the hurricane season. So far we have had the hurricane hitting Hawaii, the tropical storm that hit Mississippi nd now the possible CAT 4 storm to hit the East Coast. there are at least three more possible storms forming in the Caribbean. So where is the money coming for FEMA as we get further into this storm season? Are we going to have another Puerto Rico, only this time on the east coast of the US?

South Carolina will vote for Trump again even if half the state drowns and the other half is on fire. Georgia may be a different story.

Lets be honest. Do you think it will matter? The current administration handled 4 disaster sites at the same time and did a great job. You know how they did a great job? Leftists ignored all of them but Puerto Rico. And in Puerto Rico...an island with an already ****y and brittle infrastructure that was COMPLETELY destroyed, the Administrations FEMA efforts funneled in millions only to have the work thwarted at every turn by local officials...especially a particularly partisan leftist mayor that was caught sitting on millions in relief supplies that ended up having to be thrown out. Now..did the leftists say the FIRST ****ing thin about the inept Island leadership/ No...of course not. They blamed...well....you know who.

So should tragedy strike with this hurricane, if the administration handles it well, it will be ignored. Anything tragic will be exploited. It is their way.

I agree completely. The only time disaster relief goes badly is when corrupt liberals are in charge of local government. Like Blanco and Nagin in Louisiana I suspect there will be tremendous damage in NC and SC, but if people evacuate like they are told, there will property damage but little loss of life. Undoubtedly, the media will put out an APB for any women, children or minorities who took a dump and didnt have their asses wiped properly by FEMA to come forward so they can attack Trump.

Bull****. Leftists have **** themselves non stop over EVERYTHING whether it is actually a problem or not. You are doing it right now...in this thread. There is a real world currently ongoing problem with illegal immigration TODAY. The illegal immigration problem has not adequately been addressed EVER. But you **** yourself over a funds transfer that hasnt (but MAY) caused a single problem.

DO you think border laws should be enforced?

1. Immigration dropped under Obama. Deportations increased

2. Currently farmers are having a problem getting their crops to Market.

The problems you are imagining are imaginary. Should the law enforce laws? Sure they should but you're never going to stop all crime you can only put a dent in it so your argument is spurious. If anything we need more immigrants not less.

The mistake you're making is believing the words of a demagogue who loves the whip up the jackals in a freading frenzy with a Siege mentality and us-against-them mentality and you're a fool for believing it

Disaster relief is tricky work. But the constant attempts to demonize GOP presidents is a mental illness.

During the Clinton Administration following Hurricane Floyd:
, Jesse Jackson complained to FEMA Director James Lee Witt on his CNN program Both Sides Now, "It seemed there was preparation for Hurricane Floyd, but then came Flood Floyd. Bridges are overwhelmed, levees are overwhelmed, whole towns under water ... [it's] an awesome scene of tragedy. So there's a great misery index in North Carolina." Witt responded, "We're starting to move the camper trailers in. It's been so wet it's been difficult to get things in there, but now it's going to be moving very quickly. And I think you're going to see a — I think the people there will see a big difference [within] this next weekend!"
30 days.

It took Clintons FEMA 30 days to get on the ground following Hurricane Floyd, and that was OK. But 3 days into Katrina, and Bush was a racist and his FEMA was labelled a failure, even though FEMA was on the ground in Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi within 24 hours.

Its all political crap.

Trump now stripped the Coast Guard, who is supposed to stop drugs and illegals from coming here by water routes, of $30 Million to give it to ICE who locks them up.

It's almost as if the goal is to lock them up instead of blocking them from entering. Which makes since, there is no money to be made stopping them with the Coast Guard. :lol:
