This ought to save the taxpayers a few dollars. On Monday, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced the signing of a "memorandum of understanding" ending the use of federal monies to house illegal aliens, directing that any such funds should go to helping American citizens.
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem today signed the “American Housing Programs for American Citizens” Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), to end the wasteful misappropriation of taxpayer dollars to benefit illegal aliens instead of American citizens.
As part of this new agreement, HUD will provide a full-time staff member to assist in operations at the Incident Command Center (ICC), establishing an interagency partnership to facilitate data sharing and ensure taxpayer-funded housing programs are not used to harbor or benefit illegal aliens.
“American tax dollars should be used for the benefit of American citizens, especially when it comes to an issue as pressing as our nation’s housing crisis,” said Secretary Scott Turner. “This new agreement will leverage resources including technology and personnel to ensure American people are the only priority when it comes to public housing. We will continue to work closely with DHS to maximize our resources and put American citizens first.”
“The Biden Administration prioritized illegally aliens over our own citizens, including by giving illegal aliens taxpayer-funding housing at the expense of Americans. Not anymore. The entire government will work together to identify abuse and exploitation of public benefits and make sure those in this country illegally are not receiving federal benefits or other financial incentives to stay illegally. If you are an illegal immigrant, you should leave now. The gravy train is over,” said Secretary Kristi Noem.
This will doubtless be challenged — and likely before another of the many activist judges who seem to be springing up like dandelions on a summer day, but once again, the left finds itself in the interesting (and amusing) position of defending spending taxpayer funds to house and feed people who are in the country illegally. Once more, they are on the "20" side of an 80-20 issue.
Seems like a win-win.

This should, of course, go far beyond housing, although that would necessarily encompass departments beyond HUD and DHS. Any government benefit, from SNAP to housing to energy assistance to anything, even so much as a quarter for a phone call - assuming pay phones still exist - should only go to citizens and people in the country legally. Enter illegally, and you're on your own; no food, no housing, no nothing, no kidding. Oh, and if you work, we're taxing the ever-loving daylights out of any remittances you send home unless you can show a green card or a work visa. And when you turn around, an ICE officer will be there.
It's about time we restored the rule of law in the United States. This is another step in that direction, and once again, we see that all it took was a new president.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
