Original Note:
FEMA did not exhaust its budget in such a way. The funding for migrant services is allocated by Congress separate from disaster relief funds and a small part of the total FEMA budget. It does not settle immigrants, providing funds based on local need. https://www.newsweek.com/fema-migrant-funding-hurricane-disaster-relief-1963336 https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-freaks-out-about-migrants-as-fema-hurricane-funding-shortfall-looms
