Criswell defended FEMA’s response and shot down Trump’s claims that the agency is short on disaster relief funds because money has been diverted to help undocumented immigrants, and that help is being withheld from Republican areas, calling such assertions “frankly ridiculous and just plain false.”

“This kind of rhetoric is not helpful to people,” she added. “It’s really a shame that we’re putting politics ahead of helping people.”

Criswell noted that state and local officials have rebutted "this dangerous, truly dangerous narrative that is creating this fear.”

    remember: Trump’s campaign is trying to link every woe americans face to immigration.

    Because the GOP are racist fuckwads and that kind of messaging actually works with their base.
