There was much concern last week that FEMA was diverting funds from Helene Disaster victims to help illegal aliens in the United States. Subsequent news reports, however, indicate that FEMA’s assistance to illegal aliens comes from FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program (SSP). News reports suggest that SSP is a separate program administered by FEMA but with funding completely separate from FEMA’s Disaster Relief Funds. In April of this year, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through FEMA and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), announced $300 million in grants to cities and counties serving undocumented aliens through the Shelter and Services Program. The program was authorized by Congress to help communities that provide services to undocumented aliens. An initial allocation of $275 million was distributed initially, with the remaining $25 million later this year. The fund is available to provide grants to cities and counties for temporary shelter and other eligible costs associated with undocumented aliens awaiting the outcome of their immigration proceedings. The report indicates that FEMA has over $80 billion in its Disaster Relief fund.
“Well, Seagull, that must give you comfort knowing that no money is being taken from FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund to be used by cities and counties for temporary shelter and other eligible costs associated with undocumented aliens.” “Not in the slightest. Not while we have homeless Veterans and other American citizens without adequate shelter or money for whatever the term “eligible cost means!”
“Well, what do you think it means?” “Could it be things like food, clothes and medical care, etc.?”
What kind of a country doesn’t control its borders and not only lets illegal aliens enter but provides incentives for them to do so? That was a rhetorical question because, in Ole Seagull’s mind, he believes it’s a country about to fulfill an admonition expressed by Abraham Lincoln. He said, “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reaches us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time or die by suicide.”
Lincoln asks, “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected?” An Ole Seagull suggests at the point where America does not enforce its borders and permits virtually unlimited access of illegal aliens into our country. Time means nothing to America’s enemies. It took Israel years to patiently put the exploding pagers and phone attack in place. Can any reasonable person doubt that America’s enemies are coming across Her borders with plans to do Her harm? Look at the impact that just 19 attackers had on America on September 1, 2001.
He said, “if it ever reaches us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad.” In Ole Seagull’s opinion, it is “coming from abroad” and becoming amongst us because we are permitting it to do so by not controlling our borders, and we are transporting it all over within the country. An aside, but the Ole Seagull, who was born in this country 83 plus years ago, has had top secret clearances, served on principal protect details for presidential candidates, and spent almost ten years serving his country as a United States Marine has to have, can’t even board a plane without a “Real ID or passport yet undocumented aliens are transported by air and deposited to numerous destinations all over the country.
Lincoln warns, “If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time or die by suicide.” From Ole Seagull’s perspective, particularly with the terroristic ways “wars” are fought in this day and age, “we,” by permitting uncontrolled entry across our borders, are the “authors,” be it as “freemen,” of our own “suicide” as a Nation.
“But Seagull surely you can’t believe that!” “From both a security and economic impact on the lives of Americans how could a person feel otherwise?”
