Illegal migrants in North Carolina are receiving disaster relief aid from FEMA in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, according to a report from the Washington Post. The news has sparked controversy, with Americans outraged that vital resources for Americans are being wasted on individuals who should not be in the country in the first place.
FEMA’s $750 disaster grant, known as “Serious Needs Assistance,” has been offered to some migrants, many of whom own businesses and pay taxes despite being undocumented. Silvia Martín del Campo, a community college program director, explained that these migrants are contributing to the local economy, making them eligible for certain forms of aid.
However, critics argue that this aid should be reserved for U.S. citizens who have been affected by the hurricane. The report highlights how FEMA has spent nearly $1 billion on migrants since 2021, leading to concerns that the federal government is prioritizing migrants over Americans in need.

Some believe that this type of disaster aid encourages illegal immigration by offering support to those who enter the country unlawfully. Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies suggested that disaster funds could be better used to help migrants return to their home countries, reducing the strain on U.S. resources.

As the debate continues, many are questioning whether federal disaster aid should be extended to illegal migrants or reserved exclusively for U.S. citizens.
