Biden Regime Gives $157 Million to Lebanon as Flood Victims Continue to Suffer in Southeast US
SUMMARY
The Biden administration is under fire for allocating $157 million in aid to Lebanon while communities in the southeastern U.S. continue to grapple with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the funding on social media, emphasizing the commitment to support displaced civilians and refugees in Lebanon. Critics argue that this decision comes at a time when FEMA faces significant funding shortfalls for disaster relief due to prior expenditures on resettling illegal immigrants. DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas revealed that FEMA's budget has been stretched thin after spending over $1 billion on migrants, leaving the agency without sufficient resources to respond to domestic disasters. As flood victims in the U.S. struggle to recover, many are questioning the administration’s priorities and its apparent disregard for American citizens in need.
