NBC News reports the Trump administration is taking over $155M in FEMA disaster relief funding to pay for Trump’s immigration plan. Make It Plain’s Mark Thompson says Trump’s ‘obsession with immigration is rooted in his xenophobia and racism’ and his administration is spreading policy to ‘divide this country.’

President Trump Strips Millions From FEMA For Immigration Plan | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
He only did this because he doesn’t want to help Puerto Rico. This is absurd!
Geoff Gyro
Great analysis but the estimate I saw was $25 Million per mile. $32 Billion for the construction alone.
The land acquisition under eminent domain will be huge. I’ve seen estimates of up to $50 Billion for that.
And the all the operating costs as you’ve outlined.
Colossal waste of money.
Are you too stupid to realize PR is completely corrupt? Blaming EVERYTHING on Trump makes you sound like a moron or a whiny child
@MsJ Johns *get a less stupid name before you try to troll me, moron*
@MsJ Johns *” at least knowbhowbtobstand” did your loser brain suffer a stroke or something?? LOL moron*
When is enough going to be enough? Captain Stupid needs to be stopped now!!!
@David Lafleche Anybody with common sense know that. I know Trump and his male groupies, allergic to facts and the truth. How come more women don’t support trump? I’m tired of hearing From the he/she’s
OBAMA did the same thing. Where was your outrage on Obama.
I’m so over people nasty talk. Did your mother ever tell you to not call people names! You are not a very good roll model.
On Rallies * even at “Summit Events” nothing about help this country * all about * “me * myself * I I I * and knocking down, the poor and needy, “he will bring this country down to its knee, you think just k…… …( a sign )
No matter what Trump does from now on and until election day wont save him, Trump will go to prison for life…..Also Republicans WILL lose 10 perhaps 11 Senate seats and Democrats will lose none, And Democrats is likely to gain another 4 to 6 House seats and lose none!
Thomas Stop it! Trump commited Treason in Public( not the Const Defin) and then obstructed justice for it
You actually think any members of congress is going after him when he loses?Only in your wet dreams.
@Computer User Think ? … oh i KNOW they will, and they will hold everyone who have been part of the Trump administration accountable for any involvements that have been part of coverup, obstruction, abuse of power and undermining USA !. Mark my word history will remember this time where the REAL USA said we will not let this go silently into the night!. This will be be a part of history where USA will set the internal score right on a level that are only rivaled by the 1861 to 1865 Civil War!
@Thomas L Pelosi refuses a hearing for articles of impeachment because she loves the orange clown.These are just hearings now.
Tomorrow would be a good day for an “I Have a Nightmare” speech. 🙁
Any day since trump has been in office would be appropriate for “I have a nightmare speech”
…..or “I Am a Nightmare” but that’s what he says every time he opens his mouth.
So, we take his word for it. He wouldn’t lie, now would he.
hahahaha ,,,, I hear ya …..
Shark NATO forces and nukes for Hurricanes…Donald’s Plan Of Action. He is beyond delusional.
Guts to do what! It takes guts to enter a burning building to save a life, or go to war to serve your country,….What we are seeing in plain view doesn’t qualify for nothing but stupidity! Sorry, but the simple truth is you need a sane person as commander an chief, and sadly this ain’t it! PERIOD!
All the radiation wiould be going to florida,so what.
You missed Space Farce.👍 🚀
@Jim Reynolds working on it but the repubs are hiding under McConnell’s bed. Republicans got us here. Now democrats have to fix the mess. Drumph was scum in the eighties, and that kind of scum doesn’t come off.
@Roland Peña on the Whitehouse lawn would be great.
Dude is getting worse by the day
He says one thing today, another thing tomorrow and then denies he ever said anything, at all.
When Obama redirected FEMA funds did you speak up?
@Sammy Bolo @ Sammy Bolo; Skewing the facts, are you? Obama redirected FEMA funds for detention space so Asylum seekers wouldn’t have to camp out under blue tarps. Seems like a HUMANITARIAN move to me. What does t’Rump diverting funds for a useless wall seem to you?
MINUTE! “Tweet” !
Puerto Rico has a huge presence in America’s military they are U.S Citizen’s . Can’t say much for President draft-dodger bone Spurs.
@MeanGeneSanDiego the only one smoking meth is you! Either that or you haven’t read any other comments below my first comment? Now if you read all of the comments you would know by now I am not a trump supporter and obviously I know the number! It’s a big fat zero! I guess I should take down that first comment of mine.. but don’t be a snowflake like everybody else and just attack someone.. that’s what Trump supporters do and we’re better then that! So please read the rest of the comments before you go attacking someone and accuse them of smoking meth
of the best warriors, public service people, i had honor to served with,
even fought beside, PUERTO RICAN’S ARE AMERICANS. #ENDtrumpCHAOS *maga, MAKE ALTRIGHT GO AWAY*
General Mattis
Told the troops to hold the line for America . Things aren’t right now . Then Trump tells troops
that their children born overseas aren’t automatic citizens . Just great moral boosting for the troops .
Pulling funds from Fema Into profitable private border detentions is makin a lots of $$ for John Kelly & Board of Dictators very happy. 🤔Hmmm
So the guillotine and plastic coffin makers are going to take a hit.
Big deal!
maga is now *MAKE ALTRIGHT GO AWAY*
@Mind Freshener=Mind Fart
@Mind Freshener what are you talking about. trump’s border concentration camps are given $775 per day per person to for-profit institutions that give them living conditions worse than prisons and equivalent to less than $10 a day, so they can keep the money for themselves. tax dollars lining elites pockets through extreme humans rights abuses.
so is pelosi still napping? Schumer is useless
*Donny-Fat-Boy has activated “Desperation Mode”*
Yellow Flash
I just pray it doesn’t involves bombs or any other WMDs.
Captain chaos & his brainless ideas during hurricane season 🤦🤦🤦🤦. Yet he & his trolls ignore the northern border🤦😂🤦😂🤦😂
Too hot for Canadians to stay down here too long. Seriously.
Big money grab for private companies. Dirty!!
No longer such a mystery why shares in private prisons/detention centers soared after Trump took office.
And the tariffs are a big money grab too
elect warren for change in coloration, but otherwise the same
Ya the company if Trump and clowns
I feel bad for Puerto Rico. That $155 million would buy a lot of paper towel rolls that according to the stable genius is all you need to recover from a hurricane – assuming it isn’t nuclearized. 😄😆😅😂
He could give them toilet paper instead.
Them companies that suppose to help “build” stole the money, and ran…just like unto Hati
Just in time for the first hurricane. Another brilliant move by our imbecilic president.
It’s heading right for Florida too… Aka Republican Central… This is going to do wonders to his polling numbers. Nothing like being on the receiving end of terrible policies to change a mind.
Its illegal to hold people indefinitely…. especially without due process. That includes immigrants too
As if that’s going to stop trump.
@jude jackson youre right… we know the attorney general wont. Its just another one on the list.
He’s protected by the radical far-right Repubs, by 2 of his high-level loyalists, AG/Mr. Barr & SCOTUS seat thief/Sen.McConnell!!
we have the first hurricane coming to Florida this weekend if the billionaires would pay their taxes we would have money for everything
Let floridians suffer for their vote.If they do maybe they will go blue.
There’s A Smell Of Treason In The Air
So trump will be using the old bait and switch.
Right before hurricane and tornado season.
Impeccable timing for our dumbfuck in chief
Nice play on words
He’s just plain stupid.
This administration has not a clue what they are doing.
Finally people are seeing Trump as the crazy man that he is. Trump is a mess.
The Duty to Warn doctors did warn us 2 years ago that this would happen.
