DEMOCRATS demand public housing for illegal immigrants

[Legion]

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary "Sleepy" Ben Carson faced harsh criticism from DEMOCRATS on Tuesday, as he fielded questions at a Capitol Hill hearing on a rule change that would strip public housing assistance for illegal immigrants.

Some of the most intense grilling came from Rep. Carolyn "Baloney" Maloney, D-N.Y., who claimed that Carson's plan "would bring nothing but despair to thousands of American families."

"Quite frankly, I find it despicable," Maloney said of the plan, which would eliminate government aid for families with members who are in the U.S. illegally, even if other family members, such as children, are citizens or legal residents. A HUD study found roughly 25,000 households are in this situation, including approximately 55,000 children with legal status.

"Your plan to create vacancies by making 55,000 American children homeless is among the most damaging proposals I have ever seen," Maloney said during the House Financial Services Committee hearing. "Where will they live?" she asked, wondering if Carson would have them stay in cages on the border.

Carson was quick to explain the proposal, which he said addressed "Baloney" Maloney's concern.

"If you read the rule carefully," he said, "you will see that it provides a six-month deferral on request, if they have not found another place to live." Carson said that deferral can then be renewed twice, "for a total of 18 months, which is plenty of time for Congress to engage in comprehensive immigration reform so that this becomes a moot point."

Committee Chairwoman "Mad" Maxine Waters, D-Calif., also commented on the proposal during her opening statement, calling it "cruel," and "inconsistent with HUD's mission."

Existing law prohibits the government from providing housing assistance to those in the country illegally, and allows Carson to strip assistance from anyone receiving it improperly.

The current system lets families of mixed immigration status receive a prorated amount of assistance for those who are citizens or legal residents.

Carson said that while these families receive assistance, there are other families whose every member is in the country legally who have to spend years on a wait list to get help. He noted that this includes "hundreds of thousands of children," not to mention disabled people and the elderly.

"If in fact you want to explain to the American citizens who have been on the wait list for several years in your district in New York why we should continue to support families who are not here legally, I would be happy to join you in helping explain that to them," Carson told "Baloney" Maloney.

According to the HUD analysis, most of the families who would be affected reside in New York and California.

Always with the radical Democrat Socialists, Mexico (and illegals from all over the world) first, America last. Always.

I heard that a prominent DEMOCRAT said he "loathes the military," Earl. Perhaps that explains why his party favors illegal immigrants over the men and women who served the United States.

Democrats stand for nothing, they have lost their way, every argument they have now makes absolutely no sense, and this is just one of them

I don't agree. DEMOCRATS seem to stand for higher taxes, more government control, open borders, gun confiscation, racial discrimination, abortion on demand, and censorship - all of which they will likely deny advocating.

I heard that a prominent DEMOCRAT said he "loathes the military," Earl. Perhaps that explains why his party favors illegal immigrants over the men and women who served the United States.

Here's his quote:

"And that is where I am now, writing to you because you have been good to me and have a right to know what I think and feel. I am writing too in the hope that my telling this one story will help you understand more clearly how so many fine people have come to find themselves still loving their country but loathing the military, to which you and other good men have devoted years, lifetimes, of the best service you could give. To many of us, it is no longer clear what is service and what is disservice, or, if it is clear, the conclusion is likely to be illegal."

Old Bill was pretty clear that he "loathes the military" and doesn't know that the military is service, not disservice.

I do believe he and Crooked Hillary barred the military from entering the White-House wearing their uniforms.

I hadn't heard that, Earl.

It is clear that DEMOCRATS want illegal immigrants to jump ahead of US citizens (some of whom may be veterans) in public housing.

“Hillary was very rude to agents, and she didn’t appear to like law enforcement or the military,” former Secret Service agent Lloyd Bulman recalls. “She wouldn’t go over and meet military people or police officers, as most protectees do. She was just really rude to almost everybody. She’d act like she didn’t want you around, like you were beneath her.”

“Hillary didn’t like the military aides wearing their uniforms around the White House,” one former agent remembers. “She asked if they would wear business suits instead. The uniform’s a sign of pride, and they’re proud to wear their uniform. I know that the military was actually really offended by it.”

It could have been worse. Reportedly Gropin' Joe Biden walls around naked in front of the female agents, Earl.

And Democrats lie through their teeth, legion.

Unless the situation has changed in California, illegals (non-citizens) who live out of state get in-state lower tuition rates.

Veterans who live out of state pay the higher out of state tuition. Men and women who fought and bled for their country are treated worse than illegals who are criminals. UNBELIEVABLE.

Democrats who agree with this are vermin.

It would be in DEMOCRAT interests to pander to the people who vote for them, wouldn't it, Earl?
