America Last: U.S. Lavishes Disaster Relief, College Aid on Illegals

Under the Biden-Harris administration, taxpayer money that was supposed to go to American citizens for college aid and disaster relief instead went to illegal aliens. The Democrats are most certainly the America Last party.

Reports are circulating online from North Carolina locals that many hurricane victims have received no federal assistance at all. Tennessee and North Carolina had reportedly not deployed their National Guards quickly, and those devastated by the hurricane have learned that they “may” receive $750 each in a one-time payment. The death toll has climbed into the hundreds with many hundreds more people missing.

Last month, a report highlighted how much money in government college aid is going to illegal aliens, and we have learned that over $1 billion in FEMA disaster relief money has gone to illegals too. Now there are not enough resources for U.S. citizens.

As it happens, all of this aid is unconstitutional even when it goes to Americans, but that is a topic for another day. My main point here is that the federal government under Democrat sway spends American taxpayers’ money on anyone but American taxpayers. Ukrainian oligarchs, Gazan terrorists, and criminal illegal aliens all receive massive handouts before Maui fire, East Palestine chemical spill, and Hurricane Helene victims.

The FEMA website shows that the government made a total of $650 million available for the “Shelter and Services Program” in 2024, on top of $363.8 million in 2023. This program aims “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants,” otherwise known as illegal aliens. Perhaps this wokeness is not surprising given FEMA’s top listed goals now are “equity” and “climate resilience,” but it is certainly shameful that the administration squandered so much money on foreign lawbreakers that there does not seem to be enough left for Americans hit by Hurricane Helene.

This comes after an exposé last month by Campus Reform detailing the many ways that the federal government and state governments provide college financial aid and tuition discounts to illegal aliens.

Campus Reform reported that 25 states and Washington, D.C. allow “undocumented students,” i.e., illegals, to pay in-state tuition at public colleges and universities. At the University of North Texas, for instance, out-of-state students shell out nine times more money for tuition than illegal immigrants who live in Texas do.

Furthermore, several states, including California and Massachusetts, have enacted policies that allow undocumented students to enroll in free community college programs. 

Nineteen states have also extended state financial aid to undocumented students… Alongside scholarships from various colleges, including the “Undocumented Scholars Award” at George Mason University and financial aid for undocumented students at prestigious universities like Harvard University and Georgetown University, American lawmakers are increasingly pushing for additional programs and benefits for undocumented students.

The Biden-Harris administration’s recent proposal to include DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients in the publicly-funded TRIO programs underscores this trend… these programs would now extend benefits—such as academic tutoring, personal counseling, mentoring, and financial guidance—to undocumented students.

A July Biden-Harris White House statement projected that some 50,000 illegal aliens could enroll in U.S. universities and colleges after TRIO’s expansion to DACA beneficiaries.

This is how the country is run, or rather run into the ground, when Marxist Democrats are in charge. It is something to keep in mind as you head to the ballot box this November.
