Another line they cut into: Illegals get free public housing as impoverished Americans wait
Want some perspective on why so many blue sanctuary cities have so many homeless encampments hovering around?
Try the reality that illegal immigrants are routinely given free public housing by the U.S., based on the fact that they are uneducated, unskilled, and largely unemployable. Those are the criteria, and now importing poverty has never been easier. Shockingly, this comes as millions of poor Americans are out in the cold awaiting that housing that the original law was intended to help.
Thus, the tent cities, and by coincidence, the worst of these emerging shantytowns are in blue sanctuary cities loaded with illegal immigrants - Orange County, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, New York...Is there a connection? At a minimum, it's worth looking at.
The Trump administration's Department of Housing and Urban Development is finally trying to put a stop to it as 1.5 million illegals prepare to enter the U.S. this year, and one can only wonder why they didn't do it yesterday.
According to a report in the Washington Times:
The plan would scrap Clinton-era regulations that allowed illegal immigrants to sign up for assistance without having to disclose their status.Under the new Trump rules, not only would the leaseholder using public housing have to be an eligible U.S. person, but the government would verify all applicants through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, a federal system that’s used to weed illegal immigrants out of other welfare programs.Those already getting HUD assistance would have to go through a new verification, though it would be over a period of time and wouldn’t all come at once.“We’ve got our own people to house and need to take care of our citizens,” an administration official told The Washington Times. “Because of past loopholes in HUD guidance, illegal aliens were able to live in free public housing desperately needed by so many of our own citizens. As illegal aliens attempt to swarm our borders, we’re sending the message that you can’t live off of American welfare on the taxpayers’ dime.”
The Times notes that the rules are confusingly contradictary, and some illegal immigrant families are getting full rides based on just one member being born in the U.S. The pregnant caravaner who calculatingly slipped across the U.S. in San Diego late last year, only to have her baby the next day, now, along with her entire family, gets that free ride on government housing. Plus lots of cheesy news coverage about how heartwarming it all is. That's a lot cheaper than any housing she's going to find back in Tegucigalpa.
Migrants would be almost fools not to take the offering.
The problem of course is that Americans who paid into these programs, and the subset who find themselves in dire circumstances, are in fact being shut out.
The fill-the-pews Catholic archbishops may love to tout the virtues of illegal immigrants and wave signs about getting 'justice" for them, but the hard fact here is that these foreign nationals are stealing from others as they take this housing benefit under legal technicalities. That's not a good thing under anyone's theological law. But hypocrisy is comfortable ground for the entire open borders lobby as they shamelessly celebrate lawbreaking at the border, leaving the impoverished of the U.S. out cold.
The Trump administration is trying to have this outrage fixed by summer. But don't imagine it won't be without the open-borders lawsuits, the media sob stories, the leftist judges, and the scolding clerics.

As it currently stands, illegal aliens are now allowed to receive financial

who are U.S. citizens and receive their assistance from HUD.

Sanctuary cities across the United States are
responding to President Donald Trump’s threat to bus border crossers and
illegal aliens to their jurisdictions, saying they plan to welcome all illegal
immigration with “open arms” despite soaring homelessness problems.
Last week, Trump threatened to bus border crossers
and illegal aliens into sanctuary cities and states, like California and
New York City, if the country’s asylum laws were not changed. White House Press
Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Sunday confirmed that the White House is
considering the plan.
“The USA has the absolute legal
right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities,”
Trump posted on Twitter over the weekend. “We hereby demand that they be taken
care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is
well known or it’s poor management & high taxes!”
Just
out: The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal
immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities. We hereby demand that they be taken
care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is
well known or its poor management & high taxes!
Sanctuary city mayors like Oakland,
California, Mayor Libby Schaaf have responded to Trump’s threat by saying they
plan to welcome any and all illegal aliens to their cities — even those cities
that are struggling with rising homelessness. Currently, there are nearly 38,000 homeless American veterans
across the country.
“Oakland welcomes all, no matter
where you came from or how you got here,” Schaaf wrote on Twitter.
As of 2017, there were more
than 2,700 Oakland residents who were
homeless — an increase of 25 percent when compared to two years before. In all
of Alameda County, there are about 5,630 homeless residents. In all
of California, there are nearly 130,000 homeless residents,
including nearly 11,000 homeless American Veterans.
Sanctuary city New York City’s Mayor
Bill de Blasio originally blasted Trump for the plan, claiming the president
was using illegal aliens as “chess pieces,” but he then advocated for giving
illegal aliens driver’s licenses in order to attract more illegal aliens to the
state.
“Undocumented immigrants are our
neighbors and part of the backbone of our economy,” de Blasio wrote online.
“It’s mind-boggling that they aren’t allowed to have driver’s licenses in New
York State.”
New York City homelessness has
reached the highest levels since the 1930s when the country struggled through
the Great Depression. Today, there are nearly 64,000 homeless residents in New York
City, including more than 15,000 homeless families with almost 23,000 homeless
children. This is the largest metro area homeless population in the
country. There are more than 1,200 homeless American veterans living in New
York state.
In interviews with the Daily Beast, sanctuary city
mayors from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; and Cambridge,
Massachusetts, said their jurisdictions would be happy to welcome all illegal
aliens.
Philadelphia, Chicago, and Cambridge
have a combined homeless population of at least 12,000 residents. In the state
of Massachusetts, alone, there are now more than 20,000homeless residents, including almost
1,000 homeless American veterans.
“The city would be prepared to
welcome these immigrants just as we have embraced our immigrant communities for
decades,” Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said.
“As a welcoming city, we would
welcome these migrants with open arms, just as we welcomed Syrian refugees,
just as we welcomed Puerto Ricans displaced by Hurricane Maria and just as we
welcome Rohingya refugees fleeing genocide in Myanmar,” Chicago Mayor Rahm
Emanuel said.
Burlington, Vermont, Mayor Miro
Weinberger said in a statement that illegal
aliens were vital to making his city “more prosperous” and “more diverse.”
“We know from decades of experience
that newcomers to Burlington will make us more prosperous, more diverse and
stronger, just as generations of past immigrants have driven our past growth
and success,” Weinberger said.
In total, there are more than
550,000 American residents who are homeless nationwide. Meanwhile, the U.S.
admits more than 1.5 million illegal and legal immigrants every year — the
overwhelming majority of which are low skilled workers who compete for jobs
against America’s poor, working, and middle class. The Washington, DC-imposed
mass immigration policy drives housing costs up for
Americans, economists have found.

While
left-wing mayors say they will continue to admit any and all illegal and legal
immigrants, Los Angeles is home to the second
largest homeless population in the country, second to only New
York City. About 50,000 residents of Los Angeles are homeless and about 7.5
percent of California’s American Veteran population is homeless.
As
the city remains crippled by homelessness and skyrocketing housing costs, Los
Angeles metro area is also home to the second largest illegal alien population
— with nearly a million illegal aliens living in the region, according to Pew
Research Center.
Last
year, economists at Deakin University found that
immigration — both illegal and legal — drives up housing prices on average,
with the researchers writing “we find no evidence that house prices sink as a
result of immigration.”

LA City Council May Operate Tent Encampments for 34,000 Homeless
Jae C. Hong / Associated
Press
The Los Angeles City Council voted last week to develop an “emergency”
plan that could operate trailer and tent encampments to house 34,000-homeless —
similar to the plan developed by Orange County.
The Los Angeles City Council on
March 23 declared a homeless crisis by
requesting the Los Angeles County Homeless Services Authority implement an
Emergency Response to Homelessness Plan that would provide an alternative to
encampments for 100 percent of the Los Angeles homeless population by December
31, 2018.
The Los Angeles Housing Authority
recently reported that of the 34,189 homeless
identified in the 2017 federally mandated count, 25,237 or 76 percent, were
unsheltered and living on sidewalks, cars, tents, or mobile homes.
The report was released 16 months
after homeless advocates convinced city voters they could permanently solve
homeless by passing Measure HHH ballot initiative, which
raised property taxes by $9.64 per $100,000 of assessed valuation to fund a
$1.2 billion bond.
Los Angeles County then convinced
voters in March 2017 to pass Measure H to provide $350 million per year worth
of homeless mental health and addiction services through a ¼ percent increased sales tax up to 10
percent in a number of L.A. County cities.
Both measures only achieved the 2/3
majority required to pass because of a miraculous surge from absentee voters in central and south LA
districts that supported higher taxes.
LA City Council members also
recently voted to build 222 units of permanent
supportive homeless housing in each of the 15 LA City Council districts by
2020. The first 122 of the 3,330 approved homeless units broke ground in East
Hollywood in November.
But the federal 2017 City of Los
Angeles homeless count found the population had spiked by
5,698, or about 20 percent, since 2016. That means despite raising $1.2 billion
in taxes, the net number of homeless after the new construction has already
increased by 2,368.
Last month, the city council voted
unanimously to start housing 60 homeless people in trailers on a
city-owned downtown lot. But despite the city paying $2 million for trailers
equipped with bathrooms and showers, and funding allocating another $1 million
a year to operate the downtown trailer park, CBS News reported that local restaurant owners
say transients already hurt their business, and the trailers will make the
situation worse.
The City of Los Angeles told voters it could solve the homeless
problem with the HHH tax increase and $1.2 billion. But it cost Orange County
$780,000 per month temporarily to house 700 homeless evicted from the Santa Ana
River in 400 motel rooms. Given the enormous scale of L.A.’s homeless problem,
that would cost the city about $49.2 million a month.
Orange County Supervisors voted on March 19 to set up tent
cities on county parcels next to public parks in Irvine, Huntington, and Laguna
Niguel. All 3 cities are threatening to file lawsuits to prevent the Orange
County from dumping its problem on local communities.
None of the 15 Los Angeles Districts
wants the risk exposure to infectious diseases that come with a homeless
encampment. Breitbart News reported that a hepatitis A outbreak
began among San Diego’s homeless population and has spread statewide. The
latest California Public Health report found 703 new cases, 460
hospitalizations, and 21 deaths.
Rising
Homelessness Among Working Californians… a state that employs millions using
stolen social security numbers and hands out tens of BILLIONS in social
services and welfare!
BE
HONEST! WHEN HAVE YOU EVER HEARD EVEN ONE OF THESE PRO-AMNESTY AND OPEN BORDERS
POLITICIANS EVEN MENTION THE TRAGEDY OF AMERICA’S MILLION HOMELESS LEGALS???
In California, the rising number of
homeless people are not who you may think they are. The Los Angeles
Times editorial board recently drove home that point by personalizing what
it means to be homeless in the United States' second-most populous city in
2018.
Many people think of homelessness as
a problem of substance abusers and mentally ill people, of chronic skid row
street-dwellers pushing shopping carts. But increasingly, the crisis in Los
Angeles today is about a less visible (but more numerous) group of
“economically homeless” people. These are people who have been driven onto the
streets or into shelters by hard times, bad luck and California’s irresponsible
failure to address its own housing needs.
Consider Nadia, whose story has
become typical. When she decided she had to end her abusive marriage, she knew
it would be hard to find an affordable place to live with her three young
children. With her husband, she had paid $2,000 a month for a three-bedroom
condo in the San Fernando Valley, but prices were rising rapidly, and now
two-bedroom apartments in the area were going for $2,400 — an impossible rent
for a single parent who worked part time at Magic Mountain.
Nadia
and her children are among the economically homeless — men, women and, often
enough, families, who find themselves without a place to live because of some
kind of setback or immediate crisis: a divorce, a short-term illness, a loss of
a job, an eviction. In many cities across the nation, these are not necessarily
problems that would plunge a person into homelessness. But here they can. Why?
Because of the shockingly high cost of housing in Los Angeles.
Perhaps the most important thing that
anyone should take away from Times' editors' take on Nadia's situation is that
she is functional adult who is more than capable of improving her lot. Later in
the editorial, the LA Times' editors disclose that she was able to get her
family into a homeless shelter and that she has been able to secure a full time
job doing data entry at an insurance company, where only a few of her
co-workers know of her homeless status.
Nadia is far from alone in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, north of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara is one of the wealthiest
cities in California. There, the New Beginnings counseling center has made arrangements to
allow up to 150 Californians who are either living in their cars or in recreational vehiclesto
be able to park them overnight in the otherwise empty parking lots of local
churches and government offices.
The
clients can park after 7 p.m., but have to clear out as early as 6 a.m. The
benefit is that the vehicles are no longer parked on city streets, which riles
some residents and merchants. And because the lots are monitored by New Beginnings,
the clients, who all go through a screening process, can at least feel safe
while they sleep.
Santiago Geronimo
works in the kitchen of a high-end Santa Barbara restaurant and until recently,
he, his girlfriend and her son Luis lived in a two-bedroom apartment shared by
four adults and three kids. But the girlfriend, Luisa Ramirez, lost her retail clerk
job because of a back injury, and they've lived in a Ford Explorer since
September. Their new home is a church parking lot on the Goleta border.
There
is a common element among many of California's employed homeless, in that many
were living in apartments or houses until one of their household's members
experienced a job loss. Beyond that, many were employed with relatively good
incomes until they lost their jobs, where they soon found that their available
employment options were limited to low-paying jobs that weren't enough to pay
their rents or mortgages.
Then
the evictions came, and they became homeless. All across the state.
Steve Lopez, a LA Times columnist, asked a good question about why
California's working population doesn't move to where housing is cheaper:
You might ask why people of
lesser means don't head to less expensive areas than Santa Barbara — it's a
fair question, and I've written about people who eventually did make such a
move. In Santa Barbara, the answers I got were the same ones I've heard
elsewhere in coastal California. People hold open the option of leaving, but
many are connected to specific places by history, family and employment
connections, and they're not quite ready to give up on a turnaround, move to a
place they don't know, and start over from scratch.
Besides that, local
economies rely on those of lesser means, so where are they supposed to live?
"You know," said Phil, "there's a huge
Hispanic population that does all the damn work around here. Every restaurant
you go into, you can watch them slaving away. And they're taking care of
people's gardens and everything else, and they wind up with eight or 10 people
living in a one-bedroom place."
Until that doesn't work, as Santiago Geronimo found out.
The truth is that many Californians have tried to move to greener
pastures, as many have from California's economically-distressed Central
Valley, where that region's oil industry has yet to recover from
the decline of oil prices from July 2014 through February 2016. According to
Moody's, for every job lost in the oil and gas industry, an additional 3.43 jobs may be lost in
other sectors, creating a negative deficit that other, more strongly growing
sectors of the economy must be in overdrive to overcome, just to get to the
point where any positive economic growth may be recorded. California's Central
Valley lost thousands of oil and gas industry jobs
during the downturn, where some of the impact of those losses are also being
felt in other communities throughout
the state's interior.
In Bakersfield, in Kern County, where many of the state's oil and gas
industry jobs are centered, the city's homeless shelters were forced to turn away Californians
seeking shelter earlier this year because they ran out of space to accommodate
them during a short cold snap, when having to sleep outdoors became too
intolerable.
Some of the economically displaced from California's Central Valley have
migrated to where jobs are available in the state's thriving metropolises, such
as San Francisco and Los Angeles, where they've run into the same situation of
excessively high rents. Consequently, they've joined the ranks of the employed
homeless.
Others are fleeing the state
altogether, paradoxically seeking to escape the
"prosperity" of the state's coastal cities, with the housing shortage-driven soaring
rents and declining quality of life in
those cities becoming a primary motivation for
their flight.
All these things together would appear to have set California on a very
different course than the rest of the United States. At the very least, where
the trends for homelessness are concerned.
For his part, the state's governor, Jerry Brown, refused to declare the
state's homelessness crisis to be an emergency in 2016, which denied the
state's counties and cities any additional resources to combat homelessness.
The state's data for homeless in 2017 shows the results of that decision, where
at the national level, if not for California, the trend for homelessness in the
U.S. would have improved.

California
Wants to Secede? Let's Help Them!
California
is a part of America. But it’s no longer American. It is a foreign state. It is
a fugitive state. The U.S. Constitution and the rule of law no longer apply in
California. Call it, “The People’s Socialist Republic of California.” It’s a
state without a country. But it’s certainly no longer American in any
way.
Liberals
in California want to secede. They are trying to put it on the ballot. They
call it “Calexit.” I say, “Glory Hallelujah." Let’s help make it
happen. I propose 63 million Trump voters join the team. Let's work 24/7 to
turn their dream into a reality!
Millions
of illegal aliens live in California; drive in California with official
state-issued drivers’ licenses; and of course, use those licenses to vote in
California. Millions. That’s precisely how Hillary won
California by over 4 million votes.
California
supports illegal aliens over legal, law-abiding American citizens. They support
illegals getting free college tuition, while children of native-born Americans
pay full fare. They support illegals over police and ICE. Many liberals in
California want to abolish ICE. They want no borders and no immigration
law.
The
Attorney General of California has warned any business owner who cooperates
with ICE will face prosecution by the state of California. You
heard correctly. California will put the business owner in prison, for
cooperating with federal law, to protect the criminal breaking the law.
The
Mayor of Oakland famously played Paul Revere to warn illegal felons “ICE is
coming. ICE is coming.” The Feds report over 800 felons evaded arrest because
of that stunt. How many legal, law-abiding, native-born Americans will be
robbed, raped, or murdered in the coming weeks because of that act of sedition?
A
California judge just sided with the ACLU and barred LA County from enforcing
gang restrictions that dramatically lowered crime. California has once again
sided with hoodlums and gang-bangers over the law-abiding taxpayers.
In
Oakland, a coffee shop prohibits employees from serving police, in order to
create a “safe space” for their customers. Californians hate and distrust
police more than illegal felons and thugs who speak no English and wear gang
tattoos. Really.
All
of this is sheer madness. But California has taken it to a whole new
level.
Just
this week the California Senate appointed the first-ever illegal alien to an
official statewide post. Lizbeth Mateo, a 33-year old illegal
alien-turned-attorney, will serve on the official state committee that doles
out money to illegals attending college. In California, illegals now decide how
taxpayer money is spent.
President
Trump loves to brand (see "Crooked Hillary"). Let’s brand California.
It’s not a “Sanctuary State.” It’s a “Fugitive State.” It’s a place that
chooses to let felons and fugitives run free. It’s a place where the rights of
criminals are far more important than protecting legal, law-abiding American
citizens who pay taxes. We are the second class citizens in California.
Here’s
the way to fix the problem. Liberal Californians want to secede. I'm joining
the movement. How about you?
Conservatives
should beg California to secede. We should make it easy for them. We should
help pay for it. Pass the hat. Every conservative should chip in $20. I’ll
throw $1000 to get the ball rolling.
Just
think of elections. Without California, Trump and all future Republican
presidential candidates would win, without breaking a sweat. Without
California, we’d easily win the popular vote. And we'd win the electoral vote
by a landslide.
Next
think of Congress. California has 53 House seats. Democrats lead 39-14, for a
net gain of 25 seats. Send California packing and the GOP gains a 25 House seat
lead. We would dominate the House for decades to come.
And
of course, the GOP would gain an automatic two seats in the Senate through the
subtraction of California. As it stands now, those two U.S. Senate seats are
deep blue Democrat forever. But if California secedes a 51-49 GOP lead
instantly moves to 51-47.
If
63 million Trump voters just gave an average of $20 each to the "Calexit
movement" that’s over $1.2 billion dollars. That’s enough money to help
California secede, with enough left over as a down payment on building a wall…
with
California.
Majorities Say Government Does Too Little for
Older People, the Poor and the Middle Class…. BUT THEY SURE HELP THE
INVADING DEM VOTING ILLEGALS!
Partisan, age gaps
in views of government help for younger people
Majorities
of Americans say the federal government does not provide enough help for older
people (65%), poor people (62%) and the middle class (61%). By contrast, nearly
two-thirds (64%) say the government provides too much help for wealthy people.
The
national survey by Pew Research Center, conducted Jan. 10-15 among 1,503
adults, finds that views on government help for the poor, the middle class and
the wealthy – as well as for older people – have changed little in recent
years. This is the first time this series has included a question about younger
people.
There
are partisan differences in views of government support for all groups included
in the survey. However, the gap is somewhat narrower in views of government
help for older people than for other groups. While 73% of Democrats and
Democratic-leaning independents say the federal government does not do enough
for older people, a smaller majority of Republicans (58%) say the same.
The
partisan gap is much wider in views of government help for younger people.
Nearly seven-in-ten Democrats (69%) say the federal government does not provide
enough help for younger people. Republicans are divided: Nearly equal shares
say the government does too little (29%) and too much (27%) for younger people,
while 36% say it provides about the right amount of help.
In
addition, there are sizable age differences in views of government help for
younger people – but not in how much the government does for older people. A
majority of those younger than 50 (58%) say the government does not do enough
for younger people, compared with 44% of those 50 and older. Nearly identical
shares of those under 50 (65%) and those 50 and older (66%) say the federal
government does not do enough for older people.
Views of government help for poor, wealthy, middle class
The
partisan divide in views of government aid for the poor is wider than for other
groups. Fully 82% of Democrats say the federal government does not provide
enough help for poor people, compared with just 36% of Republicans. About as
many Republicans say the government does too much for the poor (33%) as say it
does too little; 27% say the help the government provides is about right.
Pew
Research Center’s recent report on the public’s political values found that
partisan differences in attitudes about aid to the poor and needy have widened
considerably over the past two decades. In that study, 71% of Democrats said the government should
do more to help the needy even if it meant going deeper in debt, compared with
24% of Republicans.
Democrats
and Republicans also differ in their attitudes about the help the government
provides to wealthy people. A large majority of Democrats (77%) say the federal
government provides too much help to the wealthy. As with views about
government help to the poor, Republicans are divided. Nearly half of
Republicans (46%) say the federal government provides too much help for wealthy
people, 42% say it provides about the right amount, while 6% say it does not
provide enough help.
Partisan
differences in opinions about the federal government’s help for the middle
class are not as pronounced. Seven-in-ten Democrats say the government does not
provide enough help for the middle class, compared with about half of
Republicans (51%).
Republican
attitudes about government help to the poor, middle class and wealthy differ
significantly by family income. Democratic opinions vary much less across
income levels.
Nearly
half of Republicans with incomes under $40,000 (47%) say that the government
does not provide enough assistance for poor people. This is considerably higher
than those who make between $40,000 and $75,000 or $75,000 or more; only about
three-in-ten in these income brackets say that poor people do not receive
enough assistance (32% and 28%, respectively).
A
similar pattern is seen on opinions about government help for the middle class.
A majority (59%) of lower-income Republicans say the middle class does not receive
enough help. That compares with about half of Republicans with higher family
incomes.
And
while 58% of Republicans with incomes of less than $40,000 say the government
provides too much help to wealthy people, only about four-in-ten (41%) of those
with incomes of $40,000 or more say the same.
Large majorities of Democrats across income categories say the
federal government does not provide enough help for the poor and middle class,
and that it provides too much help for the wealthy.
RVs Become Only Housing Option for Many in Unaffordable San Francisco
Housing prices and the homeless epidemic in Northern California are two
factors that have contributed to what is being described as a “crisis” in which
trailers and recreational vehicles (RVs) have become the only viable option for
residents of the Bay Area.
“We’ve never
seen it like this,” Tom Myers, executive director of Community Services Agency
of Mountain View, told the San Jose Mercury News. “We have to be prepared
that this will be the new normal for us. It’s a crisis.” According to the
publication, San Francisco averages more than three complaints a day about RV
communities.
“I
have to do whatever I have to do,” Robert Ramirez, 54, who lives on lives on
government assistance and collecting recyclable items, told the Mercury News. He has been living
in his RV for six months. He is currently in San Jose but will likely be asked
to move in a short amount of time.
The
median cost of a two-bedroom apartment is approximately $2,500 in San Jose and
$2,200 in Oakland.
RV
residents, while they do not consider themselves homeless, are reportedly often
included in overall homeless counts. Since 2015, the number of homeless people
has jumped to nearly 40 percent.
The
stretch along South 7th Street in San Jose has become an RV haven for people
who cannot afford the city’s skyrocketing rents.
During
her annual State of the City address last month, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf
called on her constituents to open their doors and residences to the city’s
homeless. “Give up that Airbnb. Fix up that back unit,” Schaff reportedly said.
In
2015, SF Weekly noted: “Although it’s illegal to
inhabit a vehicle in San Francisco between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., police rarely
enforce that law.”

Cost to U.S. Taxpayers
$5.3 Billion:
429,000 Annual
Immigrant Birth Costs...
By Frosty Wooldridge
NewsWithViews.com
https://newswithviews.com/cost-to-u-s-taxpayers-5-3-billion-429000-annual-immigrant-birth-costs/
"According to various estimates, American taxpayers spend
from 110 to 260 billion dollars a year to support illegal
aliens. This large discrepancy is due to exactly how to count, and
who exactly counts." GARY GINDLER
“We have to act now because both parties
failed in the past. Many Democrats
want open borders because they see illegal aliens as future voters. Many
donor-class Republicans have tolerated illegal immigration because of business
demand for cheap labor. That is why both parties have overlooked the laws they
voted to pass and ignored the wishes of the American people.” Joel B. Pollak is Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News
“Our
border wall will cost upwards of $25 billion. Democrats have the audacity to
say that the wall is too expensive. Meanwhile, Democrats shower illegal aliens
with $135 billion annually in
giveaways. How can Democrats, with a straight face, tell us that $25 billion is
too much?” LLOYD MARCUS / AMERICAN THINKER
The Hidden State of Illegalia
All of us have to thank Nancy Pelosi. She turned out to
be not only the speaker of the House of Representatives, but also an excellent
salesperson. Thanks to her ill conceived tricks, the advertisement
of the annual presidential State of the Union (SOTU) address to the Congress
reached unprecedented heights.
If earlier such traditional performances were simply routine, and
only a few people outside Washington were interested, then this year, the
situation (thanks to Pelosi) was significantly different. She
invited Trump to speak on January 3, 2019, then "canceled" her
invitation on January 16. Then the partial government shutdown
ended, and the SOTU was rescheduled to February 5.
Pelosi's request for a cancelation of this traditional presidential
address was an unprecedented and unheard of scandal, which ignores a
hundred-year-old tradition. She was successful in postponing the
presidential address, but that was a classic example of a Pyrrhic victory (hat
tip: Ronald Cherry). Trump could have used this opportunity for his
advantage. He talked about the economy, record low unemployment
numbers, legal immigration, and foreign policy. What he spent less
time on than he should have is the State of Illegalia.
Unfortunately, most Americans are not aware of such a
state. No, it is not the 51st state in the Union; instead, it is a
satellite substate within every legitimate state of the Union.
For example, in the state of California alone, there are
about 1.2 million children born out of "tourism" of pregnant illegal
aliens. These are official hospital data. For comparison,
the population of the legitimate state of Wyoming is about 600,000 people.
That is, inside the state of California, there is a substate — the
State of Illegalia — whose population is twice the state of Wyoming.
California's State of Illegalia is not alone. All
states of the Union contain within them, hidden from prying eyes, substates of
Illegalia. In Illinois, there are 174,000 illegal
children. For comparison, the popular among legal immigrants Chicago
North Shore area contains just half of Illegalia's population —
86,000. In the state of New York, there are 224,000 such
children. For comparison, only 36,000 people live in the popular
among legal immigrants Brighton Beach area of New York City.
This confrontation is obviously a losing matter for the
Democrats. They openly position themselves as a party that protects
illegal aliens and distance themselves from the protection of American
citizens. Pelosi did not want to give Trump the podium, which he
could and did use to once again turn to the common sense of the American
people. Whenever Trump speaks, he speaks directly to American
citizens, and not through the filter of mass disinformation media.
After the Democrats attempted to destroy a hundred-year-old
tradition, Trump could have made some unconventional moves, too. In
order to emphasize this talk about the States of Illegalia, he could have
invited some non-traditional guests to the SOTU address.
The composition of these guests would be the main headache of the
Democrats.
Imagine guest seats filled with parents of those American children
who were killed by the citizens of the State of Illegalia — by illegal
aliens. Some of them were murdered directly, and some indirectly —
with the help of drugs transported across the border with Mexico in tons.
Also, several crying 15-year-old girls from South America could be
invited, who were secretly brought by human-traffickers across the southern
border for underground brothels in the State of Illegalia. Moreover,
President Trump could end the tradition of the one-man-show and give the floor
to them all in turn.
Trump could also give the floor to American doctors, who will tell
the public what diseases they face in the states of Illegalia. Many
of these diseases were practically eliminated in America soon after the Second
World War — measles, scarlet fever, lice, tuberculosis,
syphilis. However, these diseases are returning to America, and they
are penetrating — initially through the open border with Mexico, and then
through the States of Illegalia. Also, there are numerous cases of
AIDS and hepatitis, plus widespread rape of women of all ages.
The U.S. Border Patrol guards would then be invited to the
podium. They would bring with them a few rugs — the rugs Muslims use
to pray. Recently, border guards have been finding more and more
such rugs in the border zones of Arizona and Texas. Why should
representatives of the "peaceful religion" get into America through
the State of Illegalia? Why resort to such
infiltration? What is the level of cooperation between sharia states
and the State of Illegalia?
Trump could also go to extremes and order a baker's dozen
handcuffed MS-13 gang members, with the most evil faces, entirely covered with
scary tattoos, to be seated right next to Democrats' guests for the
SOTU. These bandits — citizens of the State of Illegalia — could
play an excellent backdrop to Trump's pitch for the country's sovereignty.
According to various estimates, American taxpayers spend from
110 to 260 billion dollars a year to support illegal aliens. This
large discrepancy is due to exactly how to count, and who exactly counts. However, regardless of who makes the
estimates and how, all calculations are one in one: the balance is
negative. That is, illegal aliens receive more from American society
than they give, at least 100 billion dollars a year. This number is
the budget of the State of Illegalia.
The Democrats have long represented the interests of the states of
Illegalia, and not the citizens of the states of the Union. We must
hope that Pelosi will play her role to the end.
The Trump Administration Is Cracking Down On Illegal Aliens'
Housing

The new rule would
prevent illegal aliens from living in homes that receive HUD funding, even if
they're not the ones actually receiving the assistance. Those who are caught
with illegal aliens living in their homes will have to comply with the new rule
or move to a different non-HUD location.
To determine whether or
not a household is complying with the program, families will be screened
through the "SAVE" program, which stands for Systematic Alien
Verification for Entitlements.
HUD estimates that there are tens of thousands of illegal aliens who are
skirting the requirement process by living in these "mixed families."
As of now, millions of Americans are on the HUD waitlist because there isn't
enough money to assist everyone.
“This proposal gets to
the whole point Cher was making in her tweet that the President retweeted.
We’ve got our own people to house and we need to take care of our citizens,” a
HUD official told The Daily Caller.
“Because of past loopholes in HUD guidance, illegal aliens were able to live in
free public housing desperately needed by so many of our own citizens. As
illegal aliens attempt to swarm our borders, we’re sending the message that you
can’t live off of American welfare on the taxpayers’ dime.”

This
crackdown is said to be part of President Donald Trump's "America
First" push.
