TRUMP STRIKES BACK: New HUD Rule Will BOOT Illegal Aliens From Public Housing, Ends Clinton-Era Loophole

President Trump is delivering on his America First promises once again, with his administration proposing a bombshell new HUD rule that would kick illegal immigrants out of public housing by requiring citizenship verification - finally closing a massive loophole that's been bleeding taxpayer dollars since the Clinton era.

The proposed rule would eliminate the so-called "do not contend" provision that has allowed non-citizens to exploit our public housing system for nearly three decades. Under this Clinton-era scam, applicants could essentially lie about their immigration status without consequence, leaving hardworking American families on waiting lists while illegals got priority access to taxpayer-funded housing.

This is exactly the kind of common-sense reform that Patriots have been demanding for years. Why should illegal aliens get free housing courtesy of the American taxpayer while our own veterans sleep on the streets? The answer is simple - they shouldn't.

Closing the Border AND the Loopholes

This HUD crackdown is just the latest example of Trump's comprehensive approach to ending America's immigration crisis. While the administration continues its historic mass deportation operation, they're simultaneously cutting off the incentives that draw illegals here in the first place.

The proposed rule would require actual documentation proving legal status - imagine that! It's almost as if we should verify someone's eligibility before handing them free government benefits. What a radical concept in today's upside-down world.

"For too long, illegal immigrants have jumped the line ahead of American citizens and legal immigrants who are desperately waiting for affordable housing," a senior administration official told reporters.

Democrats are already shrieking about "compassion" and "humanitarian concerns," but where's their compassion for the American families who've been pushed aside by this broken system? Where's their concern for the single mothers and elderly citizens stuck on years-long waiting lists while illegals get priority treatment?

This is what winning looks like, folks. Trump promised to put America First, and he's doing exactly that - one swamp-draining policy at a time. The deep state may have fought him every step of the way during his first term, but now he's back with a vengeance and the political capital to get things done.

FINALLY! It's about time we prioritize American citizens and legal immigrants for public housing. My elderly neighbor has been on a waiting list for affordable housing for over two years while resources go elsewhere.

Same story everywhere. My sister waited 18 months for housing assistance as a single mom working two jobs. The system has been backwards for too long.

This is exactly the kind of America First policy we voted for. Can anyone explain how this Clinton-era loophole worked exactly? I'd like to understand the specifics of what's being changed.

About time! Public housing should go to citizens first, period.

Exactly right. It's just basic common sense that got lost somewhere along the way.
