Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard accused President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of enacting “American people come last policies” in funding illegal immigrants while citizens are suffering as a result of Hurricane Helene.

Gabbard referred to FEMA’s allocation of $640 million this year toward its Shelter and Services Program that has helped migrants find food and housing, which is separate from his disaster preparedness funding. The agency has some $20 million in disaster funding, but according to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, it does not have the funds to last through hurricane season, which is slated to end Nov. 30.
