Rep. Greg Steube Reintroduces FEMA for America First Act to Restrict FEMA Benefits for Paroled Noncitizens, Asylees and Refugees
WASHINGTON— U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) yesterday reintroduced the FEMA for America First Act, reaffirming his commitment to ensuring that federal disaster relief resources are reserved for American citizens. The bill seeks to amend current law by requiring that only noncitizens with lawful permanent resident status, asylees, and refugees actively working toward that status are eligible for FEMA benefits following a natural disaster.
