HUD Planning crackdown on illegal aliens in public housing

DC: The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will be proposing a new rule that further prevents illegal immigrants from taking advantage of public housing assistance, The Daily Caller has learned. 

Section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act prevents non-citizens from obtaining financial housing assistance. However, the presence of so-called “mixed families” has complicated the enforcement of the rule. Illegal immigrants have previously been able to skirt the restrictions by living with family members who are U.S. citizens and receive subsidized housing through HUD.

HUD intends to roll out a proposal over the next few weeks that prohibits any illegal immigrant from residing in subsidized housing, even if they are not the direct recipient of the benefit. HUD currently estimates that tens of thousands of HUD-assisted households are headed by non-citizens. 

Families who are caught gaming the system by allowing illegal immigrants to stay with them either have to comply with the new rule or they will be forced to move out of their residence.  more here

  1. What are the odds that many readers here could give exact addresses of subsidized subdivisions right in plain sight
    to the Federal Investigators that will be following the Law.

    One can’t even smoke in Federally Subsidized housing so stealing US Federal Funds through illegal NGO placement services in real estate, chambers of commerce and certain church groups will really be a Big Deal when revealed.

  2. We may never be able to fix this country’s disastrous illegal alien policies, but at least the Trump administration is trying to deal with it. Sadly, even with a law on the books, prohibiting harboring illegals, (who are criminals) the situation may not change.

  3. All those being considered for housing need to be vetted with background checks. Illegals are already not qualified and should not be given anything when American citizens are still not being employed or aided. All persons being welfare subsidized should be under supervision on a regular basis to try to ensure they are reliable and accountable occupants as tenants.

    “Washington, D.C., housing authorities began placing the city’s homeless population in upscale apartments in 2016, but frequent visits from social workers,
    SWAT teams and policemen are upsetting the new tenants’ neighbors.”

    TRUMP ADMIN TO BLOCK ILLEGAL ALIENS FROM TAKING PUBLIC HOUSING FROM AMERICANS
    April 18, 2019 Daniel Greenfield
    “We’ve got our own people to house and need to take care of our citizens,” an administration official told The Washington Times. “Because of past loopholes in HUD guidance, illegal aliens were able to live in free public housing desperately needed by so many of our own citizens. As illegal aliens attempt to swarm our borders, we’re sending the message that you can’t live off of American welfare on the taxpayers’ dime.”
