Hurricane Helene left Tennessee and North Carolina communities devastated. Hundreds are dead and many are still stranded without power. While the federal government has been slow to aid victims, state and city officials, non-profits, private companies, and Good Samaritans have rushed to Tennessee and North Carolina to help piece lives back together. Matt and Mercedes Schlapp join Elaine Beck to discuss the mismanagement of FEMA and the impact the Biden administration’s lack of response to the hurricane could have on the 2024 election.
“Are we taking care of our citizens first? Are we taking care of our people first?” queried Mercedes Schlapp. “When you look at the fact that FEMA did put close to $9 million into this kind of secure and settlement program to help resettle illegal migrants on top of that, so much of that money going into the NGOs that are facilitating the flights for illegal immigrants into these different communities, and here you have individuals who have lost, Americans, who have lost everything.”
“The government can’t do everything. We can’t do everything in our lives. You make choices, and their choices have been to open the border and to put the priority on people who are non-citizens, who are illegal,” added Matt Schlapp.
Scandalously, FEMA has prioritized illegal aliens over taxpaying, American citizens so that just as hurricane season is starting, FEMA is already running out of money, is unable to help Hurriance Helene victims, and is actively preventing private citizens from filling the void and helping victims themselves.
The FEMA fiasco is waking Americans up to the reality that the federal government is being mismanaged under the Biden administration and that the federal government should not and cannot be relied upon to rescue Americans in times of need.
