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.

Profiting off of the countries problems is pretty low life way to make money.
Yes, they are a super class of citizen. For the rest of us 'nationalists' it's "pay your taxes and shut up".
Set up tent ER’s on the border with the discharge open to Mexico.
18 months = twice the gestation period of humans.

Thanks JimRob. Meanwhile:
I’m still stunned from discovering illegals are in public housing in the first place...
They’re preferentially hired for jobs as well, I’m sure.

Our tenant isn’t an illegal immigrant. She’s a disabled veteran. We’ve never had any trouble renting this place but liked her and her story.
YES! Just DO IT by God! What are we, Motel 6 for the whole world?
