REPRESENTATIVE NANCY MACE INTRO'S BILL TO TERMINATE FEMA'S IMMIGRATION SERVICES PROGRAM FOR ILLEGALS

(Washington, D.C., October 4, 2024) - Congresswoman Nancy Mace introduced a new bill today to end FEMA's Shelter and Services Program (SSP), slamming the program as a wasteful misuse of taxpayer dollars. The bill will redirect all unspent funds from the SSP to help Americans recover from natural disasters.

"It's unacceptable for Americans to grapple with the catastrophic aftermath of Hurricane Helene while the federal government remains fixated on spending hundreds of millions on a program sheltering illegal immigrants instead of helping our own citizens," said Representative Nancy Mace. "Kamala Harris and Alejandro Mayorkas have turned FEMA into a migrant resettlement agency. It's time to end this mess."

Despite FEMA's role in disaster response, $650 million was allocated in fiscal year 2024 to coddle illegal aliens, rather than addressing urgent needs in the wake of deadly hurricanes and wildfires. The bill terminates the SSP immediately and reallocates all remaining funds to critical disaster recovery in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

"Our bill will make sure funds meant for disaster relief are utilized where they are needed most - actual disaster relief," Rep. Mace added.
