The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) ordered all public housing authorities and owners receiving department-funded housing Friday to verify tenant citizenship and eligibility after an audit conducted with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) flagged tens of thousands of deceased and ineligible tenants nationwide.

HUD said the audit identified nearly 200,000 tenants requiring eligibility verification, including nearly 25,000 deceased tenants and nearly 6,000 ineligible non-American tenants across federally funded housing programs.

Under the directive, HUD said all public housing authorities and participating owners have 30 days to take corrective action or face potential sanctions.

The middle class has been working 40 to 60 hours a week for the past decade or more to support illegal aliens who actively undermine our country. All while our government has spent us further and further in debt.

It's time for them to go!

A DHS audit flagged 10’s of 1000’s of deceased and ineligible tenants falsifying federally funded housing forms, pocketing US tax dollars. HUD ordered all public housing authorities and owners receiving tax dollars to verify (a) tenant citizenship and (b) eligibility. Audits found:
<><>nearly 200,000 tenants requiring eligibility verification,
<><>included nearly 25,000 deceased tenants
<><>and nearly 6,000 ineligible foreigners.

And check the voter rolls-— these scumbags and thieves have also been voting Democrat.

Billions stolen, hotel rooms for illegals, EBT and welfare for illegals, free healthcare for illegals, tax payer housing for illegals, and still the Republican party will barely lift a finger to fight these domestic enemies in the democrap party.

Information, including names, of people who are on public assistance should be on public record.
That would eliminate the bulk of the fraud right there.
I don’t care about embarrassment.

Billions of tax dollars stolen,
<><>hotel rooms for thieving illegals,
<><>EBT and welfare for illegals,
<><>free healthcare for illegals,
<><>tax payer housing for crooked illegals

And they’re all voting Democrat.

Rooster Redux posted: Rampant Democrat govt fraud could be a “blessing in disguise.” America-hating Democrats allowing foreign illegal immigrants, and other scum, to engage in rampant criminality for kickbacks and votes, may finally give us the way to dismantle their party.

Granted It will probably take someone stronger and more alert than blonde-burdened Pam Bondi,
but an epidemic of Democrat govt fraud may be the way to bring down the Left in the US.

The taxpayers are tired. Tired of working every single day to try and pay their own bills....so they can pay for everyone else’s housing, insurance, food, childcare, etc. 70% of the federal budget is taken from the taxpayers to pay for someone else. It’s gotten ridiculous. And the politicians just keep voting for more. They just ok’d $5 billion for refugee welfare.

Case in point: The FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s private email server, which resurfaced late in the 2016 Trump/Hillary campaign, heavily damaged her reputation and created a perception of Clinton dishonesty.

Trump received extensive media attention, and his campaign successfully
focused on negative narratives about Clinton, successfully dampening voter enthusiasm.

All of this fraud for all of these years. The billions of dollars stolen, makes you so angry but its past. I want to see people jailed for this. I want to see politicians arrested, judges disbarred and arrested if they knew and allowed this. I want their bank accounts and portfolios seized, their numerous houses, jewelry, cars etc seized. All of the monies put down on the national debt. A quarterly accounting report should be required by any and all people/groups/organizations receiving federal tax dollars with tangible evidence of legitimate qualifications.
Itd be a PITA but so what. You want my tax dollars to pay for your not working...... I need proof you are truly in need.

Dang it! Not one more dime!

You did read that Virginia is about to make it illegal to question any entity seeking welfare, right? The legislation awaits the votes of the Democrat controlled everything in that commonwealth.

They are bringing the 3rd world, death and destruction.
