OldBrownsFan Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Illegals Fueling Public Housing Shortage Housing shortages are plunging New York City and Los Angeles into crisis. Affordable rents are scarce. Families are doubling up. Shelters are jam-packed. And over 100,000 people are sleeping sprawled on the streets of these two cities. The waitlist for public housing is over four years long in LA and staggering 10 years in New York. These lists would be even longer if public officials hadn't closed them to any new applicants. Nationwide, an estimated 32,000 public households are being taken up by illegal immigrants. It's a powerful reason why the Trump administration is giving illegals 18 months to get out of taxpayer-subsidized public housing. "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," explains Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson........ https://townhall.com/columnists/betsymccaughey/2019/05/22/illegals-fueling-public-housing-shortage-n2546689 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldBrownsFan Posted May 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Carson made some good points to congress although the dems seemed to focus their questioning on trying to trip up Carson on some meaningless acronyms. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dems-use-hearing-to-repeatedly-quiz-stump-ben-carson-on-obscure-acronyms Here is one: Mayor Bill de Blasio is slamming the proposal, saying, "This is what cruelty looks like." Wrong, Mr. Mayor. Playing political games with people's lives is what's cruel. Only 1 out of every 4 Americans who qualifies for public housing is able to get it, Carson says, and "(F)airness requires that we devote ourselves to legal residents who have been waiting, some for many years." Here is another: On Tuesday, at a House hearing, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., dragged the political discussion to a new low, calling Carson "despicable," saying he will "rip apart families and be throwing children on the street." Carson calmly reminded Maloney that there are hundreds of thousands of children in need of decent housing whose parents are here legally. "Do you suggest that we prioritize" families breaking the law instead, he asked? And another: Carson exposed the hypocrisy of New York Democrats' bleeding-heart rhetoric about public housing. The de Blasio administration, he said, allowed conditions in public housing to deteriorate so badly that 83% of units pose health threats, with toxic lead paint, mold, broken elevators and no heat in winter. This January, HUD sent in a federal monitor to take over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
