DUH:
HUD Housing Should Put Americans First
https://townhall.com/columnists/michellemalkin/2019/05/22/duh-hud-housing-should-put-americans-first-n2546701
We no longer live in a constitutional republic. We live in an idiocracy.
Only in modern-day America, under the Democratic-controlled U.S. House of
Representatives, is the basic proposition that federally subsidized public
housing should benefit American citizens and legal residents slammed as
"despicable" and "damaging."
Those are the hysterical words used by Democratic Rep. Carolyn Maloney of
New York City to condemn the proposal discussed by Housing and Urban
Development Secretary Ben Carson on Tuesday to ban government aid to residents
of HUD who shelter illegal immigrants. The rule change would end a Clinton-era
regulation that allowed immigrants to obtain aid without having to disclose
whether they were here legally. The Trump plan could free up an estimated
32,000 public housing slots, according to HUD, as 1.6 million applicants
nationwide wait to be considered.
Democratic Rep. Juan Vargas of San Diego County couldn't believe Carson
could be so "mean-spirited" in prioritizing law-abiding people over
law-breaking ones.
Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of Los Angeles called the illegal alien
prohibition "cruel."
Only in America are American public servants, who are sworn to uphold
American laws and the U.S. Constitution, hounded by open borders liberals about
putting Americans first. Instead of being forced to defend their own twisted
and treasonous priorities, Democrats got an assist from open borders tools in
the media making hay of Carson's unfamiliarity with some stupid real estate
acronym. The squirrel-chasers at Newsweek sputtered: "Ben Carson doesn't
know what an REO property is, thinks he's being asked about Oreos."
Politico clucked: "Ben Carson confuses a real-estate term and a
cookie."
Fake news narrative set: He's dastardly, dumb and hates immigrants!
Carson had patiently explained at the House Financial Services Committee
hearing that families with illegal immigrants would still have up to 18 months
to defer eviction and find somewhere else to live or to move back to their home
countries. But that (undeserved) generosity was met with still more unhinged
cries of "What about the children?" from the "America Last"
Democrats whose first allegiance is to thousands of anchor babies born here to
irresponsible border-trespassers, visa overstayers and deportation fugitives.
They put their own children at risk in the first place. Not us.
You want to engage in "What about-ism?" What about the
native-born military veterans? What about the elderly? And what about the
destitute citizens down on their luck waiting for public housing slots to open
up?
In Maloney's city, it reportedly takes an average of 99 months for a HUD
applicant to secure an apartment.
In Waters' city, the waiting list for low-income Americans seeking Section
8 vouchers is 40,000 people and up to 11 years long.
In Vargas' county, the region now boasts the fourth-highest homeless
population in the nation.
It is "only logical," Carson pointed out, to put Americans ahead
of the 32,000 HUD-housed residents deemed ineligible because of their
immigration status. But logic is toxic to the Make America Disappear Lobby.
When I hear the impassioned paeans of Democrats on behalf of illegal
immigrants fighting for their federal Section 8 vouchers, I am reminded of the
most notorious deportation-evading denizen of government-subsidized housing:
Zeituni Onyango, President Obama's illegal immigrant aunt, who died of cancer
in 2014.
Remember? Onyango was a beneficiary of the welfare state run amok, and a
perfect symbol of open borders ingratitude and metastatic entitlement. She
overstayed a temporary visa for 14 years, never going home to Kenya. Screw our
rules. Onyango had no job skills, no special talent and no claim of
persecution. She didn't value the American dream. She was a dependency
nightmare. She collected $700 a month in welfare benefits and disability
payments totaling $51,000. Somehow, Onyango also drummed up money to apply for
asylum and finagled her way into federal and state public housing in Boston.
She gamed the system under both Democratic and Republican administrations,
dragged out her phony "asylum case" three times, dodged two
deportation orders, illegally donated to her nephew's presidential campaign
along the way, and then eventually secured a green card in 2010. Such are the
perks of illegal immigrant privilege.
In a raging interview she gave to a Boston TV station before she died,
Onyango savaged and taunted her American hosts. "If I come as an
immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen," she spouted.
"I didn't ask for it," she retorted when asked about her public
housing benefits. "They gave it to me. Ask your system. I didn't create
the system."
Well, Obama's ingrate aunt was right about that: She didn't create the
system. Idiocrats built it. Idiocrats are defending it. And idiocrats would
rather mock Carson's ignorance of a real estate acronym than own up to their
own suicidal stupidity.
Here's the only acronym you need to know if idiocrats prevail: R.I.P.,
America. R.I.P.

HUD Secretary Ben
Carson Says He Has Duty to End Housing Assistance for Those Living with
Illegals

(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Carolyn
Maloney (D-N.Y.) grilled HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson on Tuesday about his plan
to crack down on illegal immigrants who live in subsidized housing.
During the House Financial
Services Committee’s HUD oversight hearing, Maloney complained that by ending
subsidies for people living with illegal immigrants, Carson would be
responsible for evicting 55,000 children who are U.S. citizens in households
with “mixed immigration status.”
Chairwoman Maxine Waters
(D-Calif.) complained in her opening statement that she was concerned about Carson’s
“recent cruel proposal to terminate housing benefits for families that include
individuals with mixed immigration statuses.”
“Of course, existing law prevents
federal housing programs from subsidizing individuals with ineligible
immigration status. Prorated rental assistance allows mixed immigration status
families to remain to together while exclusively subsidizing only those family
members with eligible status. The Trump administration proposal puts mixed
status families at risk of being evicted, separated, and left homeless,” she
said.
The proposed rule, submitted to the Federal
Register on May 10, 2019, has a comment period that ends on July 9.
Maloney called Carson’s proposal
“despicable,” adding that is “among the most damaging proposals” she’s ever
seen in public policy.
MALONEY: Mr. Secretary, the D in
HUD does not stand for deportation. I am afraid that a recent proposal of yours
will bring nothing but despair to thousands of American families by throwing
children out of their homes. Simply put, we cannot create affordable housing
for Americans by throwing other Americans out into the street with no place to
go. I am very proud to represent Queensbridge Houses, which is the largest
public housing complex in the entire country, along many other public housing
complexes. So I’ve been working with public housing tenants since 1981, standing
up for tenants’ rights, fighting against spending cuts, and exposing and ending
corrupt mob contracts, but your plan to create vacancies by making 55,000
American children homeless is among the most damaging proposals I have ever
seen in public policy, and quite frankly, I find it despicable.
You know that the current laws
already prohibit federal housing programs from subsidizing undocumented
immigrants. Individuals who are not eligible for housing assistance do not
receive subsidies. By evicting mixed-status households, you will rip apart
families and be throwing children onto the street, and where will the 55,000
children go>? Where will they live? What agency will care for their health
and education?
Is your plan to have ICE put
55,000 more children on cages on the border? Not in my district, and not on my
watch. This is a horrible plan. New York City now spends more than $600 million
per year to support 8,200 children in foster care and $4.5 billion more every
year to tackle homelessness. Have you considered how you would support the
newly homeless families and children? Will they be going to foster care? What’s
your plan?
CARSON: As far as what we’re
doing with housing, the law that has been provided through Congress states
specifically that the secretary of HUD may not provide housing assistance to
people who are here illegally. It also states specifically that the secretary
has the duty to end assistance if he finds that someone is violating that. So
we are following the law …
MALONEY: But by law, already, I
agree with you. You don’t provide subsidies to people who are here illegally,
but these children were born here in America, and even if their families are
illegal, it’s a mixed family in terms of legality.
The children are legal, so you
could have the situation where the parents are deported, and the children, they
leave the children here – American citizens – and who is gonna to take care of
these children? Do you have a plan to take care of these 55,000 children, which
is HUD’s number that came forward with that they project could be hurt by this
plan. Do you have a pland for how to take care of these children? Yes or no?
CARSON: There are hundreds of
thousands of children, as well as elderly and disabled people on the waiting
list who are legal American citizens.
MALONEY: But Mr. Secretary, these
children are legal American citizens. They were born in America. They are legal
citizens.
CARSON: As I was saying, there
are hundreds of thousands if not millions who are waiting on the list. Do you suggest
that we prioritize people who are illegal citizens—
MALONEY: You’re gonna pick one
American citizen over another. Again, these children are American citizens.
They are legal, and what is your plan to take care of them?
CARSON: If you read the rule carefully,
you will see that it provides a six-month deferral on requests if they have not
found another place to live, and that can be renewed two times for a total of
18 months, which is plenty of time for Congress to engage in comprehensive
immigration reform so that this becomes a moot point as does the DACA situation
and a hundred other things.
The fact of the matter is,
Congress has the responsibility for making the laws that govern this, and they
have the ability to change that, and if in fact, you want to explain to the
American citizens, who’ve been on the wait list for several years in your
district in New York, why we should continue to support families that are not
here legally, I would be happy to join you and helping to explain that to them.
AMERICA: YOU’RE BETTER OFF BEING AN
ILLEGAL!!!
This annual income for an impoverished
American family is $10,000 less than the more than $34,500 in federal funds
which are spent on each unaccompanied minor border crosser.
A study by Tom
Wong of the University of California at San Diego discovered that more than 25
percent of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens in the program have anchor babies. That
totals about 200,000 anchor babies who are the children of DACA-enrolled
illegal aliens. This does not include the anchor babies of DACA-qualified
illegal aliens. JOHN BINDER

Decades of decaying capitalism have led to this accelerating
divide. While the rich accumulate wealth with no restriction, workers’ wages
and benefits have been under increasing attack. In 1979, 90 percent of the
population took in 70 percent of the nation’s income. But, by 2017, that fell
to only 61 percent.

Millionaires
projected to own 46 percent of global private wealth by 2019
While the wealth of the rich is growing at a
breakneck pace, there is a stratification of growth within the super wealthy,
skewed towards the very top.
At the end of 2014, millionaire households
owned about 41 percent of global private wealth, according to BCG. This means
that collectively these 17 million households owned roughly $67.24 trillion in
liquid assets, or about $4 million per household.

The massive increase in the value of
the stock market, which only a small segment of the population
participates in, means that the top 10 percent of the population controls
73 percent of all wealth in the United States. Just three
men—Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates—had more wealth than the
bottom half of America combined last year.
