I am not sure about the "fly them in from all over the world" bit, but FEMA
has been spending money on illegal aliens while still being behind on
getting money to 2023 (and maybe before) hurricane victims.

"WASHINGTON -- Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through FEMA
and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), announced $300 million in
grants through the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), which was authorized by
Congress to support communities that are providing services to migrants. Two
hundred seventy-five million dollars will be distributed in the first
allocation, and the remaining $25 million will be allocated later in the year
to accommodate evolving operational requirements. The initial funding will be
available to 55 grant recipients for temporary shelter and other eligible costs
associated with migrants awaiting the outcome of their immigration proceedings.
Additionally, DHS is announcing $340.9 million through the Shelter and Services
Program-Competitive grant program to be allocated before the end of this fiscal
year."

Several news outlets have been fact-checking this as false, which means they
are either finding something that was said (usually by Trump) that included a
falsehood, or they are ignoring FEMA's own website.

FEMA is an agency under DHS, as is the CBP.  That might be how they say it is
"false" by claiming the "money comes from DHS" but, since FEMA is a part of
DHS, all "FEMA money" comes from DHS.

IMHO, DHS needs to stop sending money "through FEMA" for non-citizens until
FEMA is caught up with getting aid to, and not running out of money for, US
citizens affected by disasters.
