Fema is out of $$ cause Biden gave it to illegals??
Really?
Which STATE is giving them free debit cards, cell phones, free travel, free food, and a free education, all paid for by FEDERAL taxes?
And which states currently have their hospitals getting crushed by the number of illegals flooding the system like Denver?
Department of Homeland Security Announces Distribution of More Than $290 Million in Congressional Funding for Communities Receiving Migrants
June 12, 2023
WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), will publish a funding notice under the new Shelter and Services Program (SSP) for more than $290 million to 34 non-federal entities for temporary shelter and other eligible expenditures for migrants who have been processed and provisionally released from DHS custody while awaiting the outcome of their immigration proceedings. An additional $73 million will be made available later this summer.
Cost of the migrant crisis: Denver hospitals buckle under volume of patients
by Barnini Chakraborty, Washington Examiner
Denver, Colorado, a self-described “sanctuary city,” has cared for more than 41,000 illegal immigrants over the past two years. The new arrivals have drained city resources and led to resentment from locals. The same can be said for other blue cities across the United States. This Washington Examiner series, Cost of the Migrant Crisis, will investigate the strain on cities, schools, and healthcare within Denver in particular. DENVER — Denver Health has been living on the financial edge for years. The city's 164-year-old safety net hospital, which has been running on margins that would make other hospitals sick, reported 20,000 visits made by illegal immigrants in 2023, which came out to $10 million in uncompensated care. The hospital provided $140 million in total care they were either not reimbursed for or only received a fraction of the cost from government programs. Healthcare workers want to help — they won't turn anyone away seeking emergency care, but they know they can't keep hemorrhaging money. "It's getting really hard to take care of them both in terms of their inability to pay but also just the sheer volume of patients we weren't expecting," Dr. Steven Federico said. Denver, a city of 710,000, has cared for 41,380 illegal immigrants over the past two years, providing food, shelter, education, and healthcare.
