Illegals fuel housing shortage

[Legion]

Housing shortages are plunging New York City and Los Angeles into crisis. Affordable rents are scarce, families are doubling up, shelters are jam packed, and over one hundred thousand people are sleeping on the streets of these two cities.

The wait-list for public housing is over four years long in L.A., and a staggering ten years in New York. These lists would be even longer if public officials hadn’t just closed them to any new applicants.

Nationwide some 32,000 public apartments are being taken up by illegal immigrants.

The Trump administration is giving illegals eighteen months to get out of taxpayer-subsidized public housing.

“There is an affordable housing crisis in this country, and we need to make certain our scarce public resources help those who are legally entitled to it,” explains Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson.

Mayor Bill de Blasio is slamming the proposal, saying “this is what cruelty looks like.” Wrong, Mr. Mayor. Playing political games with people lives is what’s cruel. Only one out of every four Americans who qualifies for public housing is able to get it, Carson says. “Fairness requires that we devote ourselves to legal residents who have been waiting, some for many years.”

DEMOCRATS would rather pander to the pro-immigrant vote than look out for their own constituents. DEMOCRATS representing New York in Congress signed a letter opposing HUD’s action to free up housing units for legal residents. Rep. Nydia Velazquez calls the policy “sickeningly cruel.” These Congress members are double-crossing taxpayers and law-abiding families in their own districts who are struggling to make it.

In New York and other urban areas, millennials are putting off starting families because housing costs too much. It’s a major reason the birthrate is dropping. But for illegals, having a baby here is their E-Z pass into taxpayer-funded public housing.

That’s because twenty years ago, President Bill Clinton issued an informal “field” recommendation to loosen eligibility for welfare benefits without getting Congress’s approval. Clinton dubbed illegal immigrants who have a baby born in the U.S. “mixed immigration status families” and made them eligible for public housing. As if the baby’s the one signing the lease. The Trump administration is putting an end to this farce.

DEMOCRATS are protesting that evicting illegals will mean separating parents from their American-born children. The theatrics are embarrassing. When illegals vacate public housing, they’ll take their children with them.

Are you sure Comrade Legion?

JPP leftists tell us repeatedly that there are ZERO examples of illegals getting any welfare at taxpayer expense.

America's Forgotten Children - Homeless and Street Youth

Andreana Reeves, Stanford University

"The average age of a homeless person in the United States is nine, and there are many kids below the age of nine on the streets, some with their families but most trying to survive on their own. Currently there are 1.3 million homeless and runaway street kids in the United States, not counting children who were forced out of their homes, abandoned by the foster care system, or are part of a homeless family."

They don't even work for the people they pander to. Sad that their constituents are too stupid to comprehend the OBVIOUS.

What "lie" did I allegedly "repeat," grandpa?

So you cannot cite a single "lie" that I supposedly "repeated," grandpa.

On Tuesday, at a House hearing, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) dragged the political discussion to a new low, calling HUD Secretary Carson “despicable” for “ripping apart families and throwing children on the street.”

Carson calmly reminded Maloney that there are hundreds of thousands of children in need of decent housing whose parents are here legally.

Carson exposed the hypocrisy of DEMOCRATS’ bleeding heart rhetoric about public housing. The de Blasio administration in NYC has allowed conditions in public housing to deteriorate so badly that 83% of units pose health threats, with toxic lead paint, mold, broken elevators, and no heat in winter. This January, HUD sent in a federal monitor to take over.

DEMOCRAT politicians grandstand that they welcome illegals with open arms. This magnanimity is at the expense of the people who elected them, taxpayers and American families who depend on public schools, housing, and other services.

Once illegal immigrants make it across the border and settle, if they have children, their U.S. born children collect welfare, food stamps, and other benefits.
