This funding does not come at disaster victims’ expense. Neither of the programs for migrants uses money from FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund, which is primarily used after natural disasters. Congress funds the migrant and disaster relief programs separately.
SSP is a Title II, DRF is Title III. Those are different things. Money from Title III appropriations HAVE NOT been reallocated into Title II programs. The end.

Yup, wasn’t 1 billion. It was “only” 300 million dollars.

It was FEMA funding that was allocated to migrants from the start. It’s not “stolen/moved” from hurricane relief funds like the GOPers claim.
