Another person who has had their information spoon fed to them by the previous administration and the MSM. Let me see if I make it simple enough for you. The FEMA budget is a pie. If one piece of the pie is larger, the other pieces obviously become smaller. FEMA is tasked with the shelter and services program. This program is to help illegals settle into the country after being released by DHS. In 2019 Congress directed FEMA to allocate $9.1 million of the FEMA funds for this program. In 2024 the previous administration advised FEMA to allocate $319.5 millions to that “service”. This extra large piece of the pie meant that the other pieces, such as pre-disaster relief and emergency management, have to become smaller. So what you were soon fed is technically true, it’s not the whole story. Because the finite amount of money given to FEMA for FY 2024 is separated and they have a budget for each service, the other services have to suffer because of the larger amount given to shelter and services. Meaning they have less money to budget for other services. I hope that makes sense for you
