A suburban lawmaker outside Chicago proposed that residents be able to sign up to host migrants in their homes, noting that, "We do have a very affluent community."
Naperville, Illinois, Councilman Josh McBroom voiced the notion during a city council meeting last week, and a conservative account reacted to the clip on X on Tuesday.
"In light of the fact, I’m not going to support using other people’s money to house or aid – I do know that there’s a lot of people that do care, and I think we live in a compassionate community, so before we go down the road of, you know, following suit on some of these other cities are taking action on, my idea would be – let’s find out, let’s find out who’s willing to help," McBroom said.
"You know, we do hear from constituents on both sides of this, what are we going to do to preemptively stop this? And then we hear from people that tell us we should do more, so we do have a very affluent community, a lot of big homes, and what I’d like to do is direct staff to create a sign-up sheet so, for individuals that would be willing to house migrant families," he continued. "And if there’s people that would do that, God bless them. So if we could raise awareness in that way, I think we need to find out.

Awfully risky, call me overly cautious.
Yes, that had occurred to me.
However knowing the history behind the 3 rd Amendment it would be a simple thing to argue that the 3 rd was written to prohibit the Federal government from forcing citizens to house any person in their home against their will.
In my opinion it is hard to read it any other way.
But of course your point that Leftist judges find it difficult to rule against anything that a Leftist President might want to do is well taken and not to be disregarded or considered impossible.
(A fool and his money are soon parted.)
A very CLEAR and ACCURATE summation of the situation.
I'll add... "Live & Learn!"
Why do they need to sign up? Just go down to local immigration office and pick up a half dozen illegals from Guatemala, Honduras and Haiti. And no asking for ID or pictures.
Just file these FOOLISH actions to be a "do-gooder" under either the "live & learn" category or the "reap what you sow" dept.
