If 80K are in subsidized housing, imagine how many are taking up other houses and driving the price up

Literally everything is more expensive due to illegals.

Housing, food, insurance, etc

All while they work cheaper and suppress wages

That's the real story of inflation and affordability

The program can be curbed but this isn’t an immigration issue, it’s a human rights issue.

Besides, more homeless people drives up other costs, creates crime, and has an overall more negative effect than providing cheap housing.

The democrats really pulled a fast one, import (who knows how many) 15 million people, get them addicted to social services then tell them the republicans will take it all away.

This was their plan all along.

You know where they can get cheap housing? Their shithole countries they came from

You are also free to let them stay in any spare rooms you have.

Not all of the 80,000 are illegal. Many are anchor babies and whatnot.

It's a global human right issue, but it's a national immigration issue. Is the United States responsible for the well being of all the other nations? If we actually care, why do we not attempt to make other nations self sufficient? Give a man a fish vs teach a man to fish. Sending the dregs of your country to america's doorstep so it can become their problem is not a viable solution.

They are criminals, they do not have rights in a country that they entered unlawfully. It’s not that hard.

They aren't

quote:

Since 1995, mixed-status families have been permitted to live together in HUD-funded housing as long as federal subsidies covered only eligible household members.


"Only eligible family members receive rental assistance under the current law. A family of four with three citizens would receive 75 percent of the rental assistance that they would have received if everyone were eligible. To cover rent for the remaining family members, the family pays out of their own pocket."

As usual your emotions dictate your political beliefs, housing isn’t a “human right” and it certainly isn’t free

You are the dumbest person in every thread. It’s scary the rest of the world has to share the same air as you.

The administration should have highlighted this at every turn during this last election cycle.

They didn't, so the party of "Free Everything" is going to turn the spigot back on.

This is the message that never gets out or sinks in. The whole immigration debate is framed in terms of racism, culture and a little bit job taking.

Nobody ever talks about the downstream economic consequences. These people aren't living in caves and foraging for food. They place artificial pressures on housing and other necessities. One of the primary reasons that rent, transportation, insurance and healthcare have become unaffordable for half the country (see last week's midterm blue tsunami) is because of the millions of people who aren't supposed to be here.

And another thing - they send a lot of the money back to their home country. The dividends of cheap labor never get reinvested into our economy - it gets wired back to whatever part of the third world they crawled out of.

Thank God you agree with us, then, and we definitely:

1. Shouldn't be importing more millions of unskilled, abjectly poor folks, AND

2. We should be sending those here illegally back where they came from


As we already have more of our own poor to care for than we can handle.

So glad to count you on our team, now.
