Nancy Mace Introduces Bill to Stop Fema from Funding Migrant Hotel Stays
Breitbart ^ | February 23, 2025 | Olivia Rondeau

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has introduced a bill to stop the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from “bankrolling luxury stays” for illegal immigrants, saying the Biden administration’s policies are “insanity, and it stops now.”

Mace, who did a ride-along with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents last month while they apprehended “dangerous” illegal aliens in her hometown of Goose Creek, South Carolina, announced the move in a Friday news release.

The bill, called the Alien Removal Not Resort Stays Act, would shut down FEMA’s illegal alien shelter program and redirect those funds to ICE’s detention and deportation efforts.

In May 2023, New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) revealed that half of all hotels across the city at the time, including many luxury hotels, were housing tens of thousands of migrants.

Just earlier this month, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered a recent $59 million FEMA payment to house illegal aliens in “luxury hotels in New York City,” DOGE leader Elon Musk said.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem reported that she dealt with it quickly, saying that she “clawed back” the full payment made by FEMA.

“Mark my words: there will not be a single penny spent that goes against the interest and safety of the American people,” she vowed on X:

Great! We need all of President Trump's EOs codified in law. Mace is a firebrand go-getter. We need more in Congress with that fire in the belly. Our own western Idaho rep in District 1 is a milquetoast.

If the Trump EOs can’t get codified,this is all for nothing.

Biden/Harris really cranked up government’s war against the American people.

Turned it up to 11.

Issue them a shelter half like they do in the Army. Have them buddy up.

Charter 10,000 buses to move them to deportation centers on the border and hold them there Sheriff Arpaio style. Or ship them all to GITMO.

Absolutely.

It then takes the teeth out of accusations that Trump is a dictator.

Nothing but a trip to either Gitmo or home.

They made themselves look like they were being compassionate, when they were actually using US citizens’ tax dollars to buy illegals’ VOTES!

And if they’re hungry, give them an MRE that came from the old MRE stockpile in McAllen, Texas that we had to choke down during Operation Desert Shield/Storm. They shouldn’t be getting 42 bucks a meal three times a day.

They need to get all the rebublican reps together and go around the room handing out two of Trumps EOs to each with the home work assignment of making them bills. Non stop bill introduction and voting.

Bills like this should be a no-brainer. We need to stop subsidizing corporate real estate whilst witlessly expanding Democrat “voter” rolls at outrageous expense.

I’d shut down FEMA, anrrest the employees, and freeze payroll.

And the Roosevelt Hotel is owned by Pakistan Airlines. So basically we are contracting out Pakistan to house illegal aliens on US soil.

Follow the money.

“Turned it up to 11.”

But it only goes to 10. (Gratuitous “This is Spinal Tap” reference)

FEMA never paid for me for a place to sleep or a meal to eat
after my community burned and during covid you couldn’t go inside a restaurant in Oregon!
I was old and sick and afraid and hungry! Now they take the interest out of every social security check after I paid them in full from my savings to replace my home!

Before we left Germany to retire here, I saw many instances of "Funding Migrant Hotel Stays" done by the Merkel government. Part of the "wir schaffen es" braggadocio. Private companies with half-occupied businesses getting top rates for full hotels. End of story? Trashed hotels demanding the same government cover repairs. This is lunacy writ large.

We hope Mace gets this done.
