The bill will redirect all unspent funds from the SSP to help Americans recover from natural disasters.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s unacceptable for Americans to grapple with the catastrophic aftermath of Hurricane Helene while the federal government remains fixated on spending hundreds of millions on a program sheltering illegal immigrants instead of helping our own citizens,\u201d said Representative Nancy Mace. \u201cKamala Harris and Alejandro Mayorkas have turned FEMA into a migrant resettlement agency. It\u2019s time to end this mess.\u201d\n\nDespite FEMA's role in disaster response, $650 million was allocated in fiscal year 2024 to coddle illegal aliens, rather than addressing urgent needs in the wake of deadly hurricanes and wildfires. The bill terminates the SSP immediately and reallocates all remaining funds to critical disaster recovery in the wake of Hurricane Helene.\n\n\u201cOur bill will make sure funds meant for disaster relief are utilized where they are needed most \u2014 actual disaster relief,\u201d Rep. Mace added.\n\nYou can read the full bill text here.\n\nFor media inquiries, please contact SC01press@mail.house.gov\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://mace.house.gov/media/press-releases/representative-nancy-mace-intros-bill-terminate-femas-immigration-services"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9917579591274261, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
