The Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed a new rule Friday to make people seeking housing assistance have to prove their legal status, in a move that could oust thousands of illegal immigrants. Secretary Ben Carson said the rule would bring policy into compliance with the law, which generally tries to restrict public benefits to citizens and legal residents.
“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,” Mr. Carson said.
When the Washington Times broke the news of the rule last month, officials said it could apply to perhaps 32,000 families who have an illegal immigrant head of household claiming taxpayer-funded assistance.
The new rules would require new applicants to have their information run through the federal SAVE database, which is used to weed illegal immigrants out of other public benefits. Families already in housing would have to be newly checked over the course of time.
Legal immigrants, refugees and asylees would not be ousted.
Illegal immigrant-led families who claim a hardship could earn an 18-month reprieve under the rule. Still, immigrant-rights groups were incensed, calling the move an “attack” and warning of a rise in homelessness in illegal immigrant-led families.

Winning...
Self-repatriation.

Next boot them from publicly funded ERs.
I remember when the Mayor of Costa Mesa tried to do this years ago.
Jack Kemp, who was Secretary of HUD, flew out here and forced the mayor to back down. One of my earliest warnings as to how great an enemy the GOP open borders wing was to normal America.
About time...
18 months to checkout of free stay? how bout let’s get serous and send a message to incoming and make it 6?
Time to take care of LEGAL AMERICANS with our tax dollars.
And President Trump keeps plugging along and making inroads that keep making a difference...I have a real “bromance’ for this man...
Just think we have had only 35 years since for Congress to fix that mistake...
Darn that Reagan guy.../ S
“’we need to make certain our scarce public resources help those who are legally entitled to it,’ Mr. Carson said.”
Ya think? Why is this even an issue? Why have they been allowed to use HUD benefits in the first place? So many patriotic Americans live in terrible conditions; it would make sense to help them first.
About damn time!
I don't see the problem here. Maybe they will finally leave the country.
We can always temper it with an incentive— those who volunteer to self deport would get a nice box lunch and an air-conditioned ride to the airport or seaport nearest their home.
😆 Always good to hear from the curmudgeons...
The curmudgeons like me and deport are right about this.
Why is there a rule for what is common sense?
Just long enough to squirt out that anchor baby.
And, pray tell, given the environment Trump encountered his first two years, exactly HOW was he going to be able to do this “from the beginning”?
God, so many politically ignorant people out there.
