Lot of teeth gnashing from the illegal supporters, as you’d expect
Residents of federally funded public housing will be required to show proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status under a new rule published Thursday by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The measure could displace nearly 80,000 people, including tens of thousands of citizens in mixed-status families, from their homes, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research and policy institute.
Since 1995, mixed-status families have been permitted to live together in HUD-funded housing as long as federal subsidies covered only eligible household members. The new rule may force these families to decide whether to remain together in nonpublic housing or split up their households.
“This is tearing apart families and sowing division,” said Marie Claire Tran-Leung, director of the Evictions Initiative Project and managing attorney at the National Housing Law Project.
How about they pay for their own housing? We keep being told that illegals earn their keep.
The rule’s prior status, which allowed mixed-status families to live together, worked well for all parties, Tran-Leung said. Mixed-status households often paid a higher share of rent because their subsidies were prorated, experts say. If those families are forced to leave public housing, HUD will likely face financial shortfalls, Tran-Leung said.
Or, instead, Americans who’ve fallen on tough times could take those spots, and the illegals can head off to their home countries. Or other countries. Leave.
“President Trump warned that the days of illegal aliens and ineligible noncitizens exploiting government-funded welfare programs would be over,” HUD Secretary Scott Turner said in a statement. “It’s unacceptable that America’s homeless veterans, disabled, elderly, and victims of domestic violence languish on waitlists while illegals and ineligibles scam our system. American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill. Promises made, promises kept.”
Exactly. Let’s also not forget that so many of these measures are meant to de-incentivize illegals from coming. And tries to force those here to leave.
There are 8 million living in hud public housing
So this will effect about 1%
The dingle largest factor affecting a child’s ability to thrive is living with 2 parents. If children who are American citizens lose their housing because 1 or both parents are non citizens it will be a punishment on those American citizens. Maybe they will end up as defacto orphans living in foster care at a cost of 35000 dollars per year
Is doing that family break up in the best interests of either the child or society ?
So, how much affordable housing will be freed up if the illegals are kicked out?
They can follow their parents to Mexico; why should we be taxed to support illegals just because they had an anchor baby?
from the article:
“About 20,000 mixed-status families, or 80,000 people, could be affected by the rule, CBPP’s data shows. About 37,000 of those are children, mostly U.S. citizens, CBPP said.”
But those babies and children are likely brown AND birthright “citizens”. Fuck ’em! How does this serve America or Americans?
Teach whines: “Why should we be taxed to support illegals?” King Donny needs your taxes for golfing trips! Little Marco needs your taxes for traveling to his son’s football games. Donny spent some $10 billion paying off fired (and oft rehired) federal workers! He has spent billions on redecorating D.C.!
But paying for homes for poor U.S. citizens (brown babies and children) is just too fucking much. Because taxes. MAGAts are disgusting. Good riddance.
Cruelty is your objective. And delight.
