[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think FEMA has lost all credibility now that they were housing and looking after illegal immigrants. That was supposed to be a cost borne only by the “sanctuary cities” whose citizens voted to allow them into the country and pay to support them. Federal money and resources should never have been used for that.[/quote]

The reason that FEMA was doing it was because they have a system set up for housing and did it for ICE, which does not.  In this instance, it made sense for FEMA to use their system rather than having ICE create their own - in the federal government, some agencies handle things for other departments.  For example, my DH receives his paycheck from a different department than his own because they handle payroll for multiple departments.  I think there are several departments that handle these sorts of issues for other agencies and departments.  DOGE seems to want to create one HR department that will handle that for every department, although they don't realize the scope of what they are proposing.  Even if the federal government were reduced by half (which it won't be), using economies of scale in places makes sense but having one department handle everything for the entire government does not.

You can argue that “it made sense” all you like but that doesn’t change the fact that this should not have been done. What “makes sense” to me and apparently more than half the country is that if some people want to bring people here illegally then they should at the VERY least be on the hook 100% for supporting them. Even if it means that it costs them more than if they used federal government resources to do it. The ENTIRE cost should be borne by the people who want these people here, not at all by the majority of the country who wants our laws enforced and our money spent on our people (or better yet not taken from us in the first place unless there’s a very good reason for it). Our country has enough problems as it is - hurricanes, fires, earthquake risk… I don’t want to be supporting other people who aren’t even American and who have no legitimate business even being here.[/quote]
