Congressman Graves Raises Concerns that FEMA Disaster Resources Being Diverted to Assist Illegal Immigrants

Congressman Sam Graves is raising concerns that the Biden Administration is diverting FEMA disaster resources to assist illegal immigrants. In his letter to FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, Graves highlighted the Emergency Food and Shelter Program which FEMA oversees to provide grants to individuals and families experiencing hunger and homelessness. The Congressman said there have been recent reports that some of the shelters and nonprofits are being overwhelmed with migrants and that the program money is being used to support the border crisis. Graves says FEMA will likely be one of the agencies to bear the brunt of the cost of lax border policies, impacting FEMA’s limited resources and core mission.
