Obama: Federal gov't will integrate races into wealthy communities
Wash. Examiner ^ | 7/11/2015 | Barb. Boland

President Obama said Saturday he will use the power of the federal government to pressure communities to integrate low-income minorities into affluent areas.

Obama said his administration is implementing a new rule that will require communities to frequently review the racial and socio-economic makeup of local neighborhoods and regularly report the results to the federal government.

"Just a few weeks ago, the Supreme Court ruled that policies segregating minorities in poor neighborhoods, even unintentionally, are against the law," Obama said, referencing a ruling on the Fair Housing Act largely ignored by the media due to attention on the Obamacare and gay marriage rulings.

The Fair Housing Act was passed under President Lyndon B. Johnson to initiate his failed "Great Society," which sought to eliminate poverty through a series of government programs. Critics charge that its programs, which included housing projects in cities and welfare payments to single mothers, led to the destruction of the black family.

"In some cities, kids living just blocks apart lead incredibly different lives," said Obama in his weekly Saturday address. "They go to different schools, play in different parks, shop in different stores and walk down different streets."

"And often, the quality of those schools and the safety of those parks and streets are far from equal — which means those kids aren't getting an equal shot in life," he said.

Besides the regular reports from local communities, Obama mentioned one other specific way his administration plans to equalize neighborhoods.

"We're using data on housing and neighborhood conditions to help cities identify the areas that need the most help," he said. By opening this data to everyone, Obama argued "everyone in a community — not just elected officials –— can weigh in. If you want a bus stop added near your home, or more affordable housing nearby, now you'll have the data you need to make your case."

The Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a ruling Wednesday that would withhold funding from communities if they fail to provide data on racial segregation patterns, set goals and track results.

"This overreaching new regulation is an attempt to extort communities into giving up control of local zoning decisions and reengineer the makeup of our neighborhoods," Rep. Paul Gosar, R., Ariz., said as he introduced several pieces of legislation designed to prevent the implementation of the new HUD rule.

"Local government is designed so people can have an input on those things that matter most to them," Rick Manning, the president of Americans for Limited Government, said in an interview with CNN. "The federal government is ill-equipped to superimpose their vision of what local communities should look like, because they don't have their fingers on the pulse of those communities."

"Just as the president has used the DOJ, IRS and DHS as a political weapon, he has now expanded his arsenal to include HUD as a way of punishing neighborhoods that don't fall in line with his liberal agenda," said Gosar.

Get ready for an influx of mohammedan families fleeing “oppression” from Islamic countries.

And not only that, now even affluent neighborhoods will get to experience the joy of living next door to Section 8 housing units.

GOV'T FRAUD AT ITS FINEST and Democratic votes to boot. He exposed the Clinton Foundation frauds in "Clinton Cash," but in his earlier book, "Extortion," author Peter Schweitzer writes about Obama and Eric Holder, using the Justice Dept and assorted govt agencies to extort Big Money ....threatening jailtime unless the targets fork over billions. Read on.

The Largest, Best Funded Voter Fraud Operation in US History Happening Before Your Eyes
Red Statements ^ | 3/12/2015 | Steven Ahle / FR Posted by HomerBohn

So you say you want a permanent democratic majority? But what about the massive amount of money that's needed?

Obama, and congressional democrats, along with a huge assist from Eric Holder add the shady ACORN into the mix by changing ACORN to "NeighborWorks America."

Both NeighborWorks America....and La Raza....provide the manpower.....and now have a huge funding source.

The DOJ has sued several banks and made settlements in which the banks have paid 24 billion in fines. One of the banks, CitiCorp was also ordered to pay $50 million to La Raza and NeighborWorks America as part of the settlement.

But wait, it doesn’t stop there. Another clause in the agreement makes it possible for La Raza and NeighborWorks America to rake in even larger amounts of money.

Of the remaining money the banks needed to pay in settlements, the banks were able to contribute additional money to La Raza and NeighborWorks America. For every dollar they contribute, it reduces their debt to the government by 2 dollars. That’s some mighty powerful incentive to give generously.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling have questioned why this money was sent to the two organizations rather than to the alleged victims of the bank’s crime. The administration of course declined to answer.

--SNIP--

So now, with Social Security cards, manpower and tons of money to go along with the two years before the next presidential election, the largest and most successful voter fraud campaign may alter the course of the elections not to mention the future of the United States.

Within the first couple of months of Obama’s illegal immigration executive memos he signed on AF One, at least ninety thousand Social Security cards were issued to illegal aliens. Now Senators Ben Sasse and Jeff Sessions want answers on how many additional social security cards were issued. The answer is important because it will allow citizens to know just how much money taxpayers are spending on illegal aliens.

Social Security cards are keys of the kingdom to illegal aliens. With them, they are able to access a number of all sorts of benefits, including the Earned Income Tax Credit, Social Security disability payments or Social Security’s supplemental income program.

The senators also want to know how much in benefits these illegals have collected. The senators have yet to connect the dots in Obama’s real scheme. Let me help them out.

Social Security cards besides making illegals eligible for benefits, can have a more profound problem for the United States. The cards make it very easy for illegals to register to vote, even in states with voter ID laws.

One of the documents accepted for registering to vote is………….Social Security cards. But administration officials don’t dare instruct the illegals on how to vote and many might not trust them. The Washinton Times explains how easy it would be to add millions of new voters through the democrat’s illegal amnesty.

THE SCAM UP CLOSE So how do you get around this? Simple. You have the latino-centric America hating La Raza do it. Yes, La Raza actually teaches illegal immigrants where and how to register and vote. With the advent of so many illegals being able to vote and limited resources, La Raza couldn’t possibly handle the volume or afford to spend the kind of money necessary to facilitate such a huge undertaking.

And that’s really what this is all about. Using minorities for cannon fodder. It has nothing to do with improving anybody’s lives.

He’s despicable.

Just doing some simple math, there would be enormous dislocation of millions of people around the country, if the liberal dream of complete integration happens through this plan.

Countless millions of inner city residents would be relocated into more affluent or suburban areas. In turn, these areas will see many existing residents relocate to make room for new residents. In turn, many of these areas will go ghetto as more and more Section 8 residents live there.

And as happens in life, those who are more affluent and able to avoid all of this, will move out of areas receiving Section 8 or lower income people, and go live in affluent or rural/small town enclaves.

Liberals and minority activists complained decades ago about “white flight” as white residents moved out of changing areas, so that the remaining residents were mostly minority. The liberals charged that effective integration didn’t happen because whites moved away.

The same sort of impact is predictable here. Though it will not be strictly racial, but will be based on socio/economic status. Those of higher socio/economic status, with the means and ability to move away, will once again move away from troubles caused by liberal social engineering.

Note that he and all of the elites will not live with these black and brown poor. They will live in gated communities, often with armed guards, while the rest of us have to live with the thugs.

He just wants the value of the houses in those neighborhoods to plummet. It’s not FAIR that those houses are worth more right now than the ones in the ghettos!

“...low-income minorities into affluent areas.”

This went over real well in Massachusetts when they integrated the school systems in the 1970’s. The hypocritical people of Massachusetts went apoplectic. I see no different outcome in the hypocritical NE US with this offering.

I think they would consider a local government approving a new housing project to have all units sold at fair market prices such a policy. The Feds would mandate that a certain percentage be “affordable housing,” with perhaps advertising mandated to be within minority areas, say within a 100 mile radius. Or not offering subsidies for “disadvantaged” groups. Those sorts of thing.

Hey Barry, there’s a REASON different folks live in different neighborhoods and it isn’t racism, moron. I’m white and I don’t like in a “rich” neighborhood because - IM NOT RICH.
I could have probably worked harder, had more ambition in order to live there; any American can do that. I just chose to place a higher value on my time with my family instead of on being rich and elite. We have THAT choice here in America tokay, ha know...

Too many of your disciples want to live like the elite without doing the work and making the sacrifices that go along with it.

Ummm... Where is the Republican response to this notion, btw???

“These new imports would never be able to afford the local Taxes.”

Don’t worry. ‘Tax breaks’ and ‘subsidies’ will save the day!

IOW, your Tax Dollars and mine! We’ll be PAYING for this invasion, just as we are right now with our porous Southern Border!

If Obama wanted to do something about poor communities, top of the list should be reforming Section 8 Housing to discourage slumlords from being unaccountable non-taxpaying plagues upon the community.
