adminHUD Secretary Scott Turner just sent a crystal clear message to every illegal immigrant living in taxpayer-funded housing. Your free ride is over, and Americans come first. Turner told Fox News that his department will no longer tolerate illegal aliens taking housing meant for struggling American families.
The Trump administration is now collecting detailed information from housing authorities across the country. They want names, addresses, and proof of citizenship from every person living in government housing. Housing agencies have just 30 days to hand over this data or face serious consequences.
This is exactly what hardworking Americans have been waiting for. Why should people who broke our laws get free housing while American veterans sleep on the streets? Why should illegal immigrants get comfortable apartments while American families struggle to pay rent? It makes no sense, and it stops now.
Turner has teamed up with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to crack down on this abuse. Together they signed an agreement to end the wasteful spending that gave housing benefits to people who should not even be in our country. This partnership will make sure federal housing dollars go only to Americans who deserve them.
The Biden administration created this mess by letting millions of illegal immigrants flood into America. These people then demanded free housing, free healthcare, and every other benefit our government provides. Meanwhile, American citizens got pushed to the back of the line in their own country.
Right now, HUD can only help one out of every four Americans who need housing assistance. That means three American families go without help while illegal immigrants get free apartments. This backward system punishes people who follow the rules and rewards people who break them.
President Trump signed Executive Order 14218 to stop taxpayer money from supporting open borders policies. The order makes it clear that federal housing programs exist to help American citizens, not foreign nationals who entered illegally. Turner is simply following the law and putting America first.
Finally, we have leaders who remember that government serves Americans, not the whole world. Every dollar spent on illegal immigrant housing is a dollar stolen from American families who need help. Scott Turner deserves praise for standing up for the American people and ending this unfair system once and for all.
