House Democrats are seeking to block the Trump administration from following through on a plan to make it more difficult for undocumented immigrants to receive government housing aid

They've included in their annual spending bill language that would bar the Department of Housing and Urban Development from carrying out the proposal. HUD's proposal barring aid would also apply to"mixed status" families comprised of individuals of different legal statuses.HUD Secretary Ben Carson defended the proposal before Congress last month in a contentious exchange with California Democratic Rep. Sylvia Garcia.

" "There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, who are waiting on the list," he said at last month's hearing."Do you suggest that we prioritize people who are illegal situations?"When the rule was first proposed, a HUD official said the law requires the department to cut off assistance if the leaseholder"has knowingly permitted any individual not eligible for assistance," such as an undocumented immigrant,"to reside the supported housing.

Help Americans first, then help the illegals....find their way back to where they came from...

I can't comprehend what these demonized democrats are after, pulling down Trump or destroying America's solid foundation and ideals.

As they should. This shouldn’t even be a debate.

How come these Democrats never worry about Africa? Are they more racist than Trump kkkkkkkk? They never comment about what's happening in Sudan. Even CNN only mention Sudan in passing. What am I missing here! Maybe Don Lemon and Van Jones know

I agree with the GOP on this. If you want to live in France, you must prove you have an income to provide for yourself or you will not be let in. Seeking asylum should not be an excuse to access free housing, food or other govt benefits.

Traitors!

No such thing as undocumented immigrant. However there are illegal immigrants. Being they are illegal they shouldn’t get any help

Clean up LA before offering housing to illegals, it is over run with human waste as are all democratic cities-sanctuary and shit seem to go hand in hand.....

Interesting, Dems always in favor of the illegal immig, giving away everything to illegals and those US citizens, working families wanting an affordable housing are not considered because illegals has the 'right' to those benefits, Dems-are you out of your mind? Think American..

Today how much housing aid does an American get?

Is everyone on the left crazy?! Not one undocumented immigrant should receive housing aid until every single American and other documented legals receive the aid they need. FakeNews at its finest. This is complete and total bullshit. What’s wrong with everyone!!!!’

Google_open _the_internet_in_Sudan

It’s the law. Congress should change it if they do not like it.

We have known the Nation of America to be a very loving, caring nation and God fearing state to entire global mankind. It is really very perplexing when we hear such developments from a nation which is closer to the hearts of people. May the almighty God bless America

I don't have a problem with that. I'm for migration and open borders but not free government help, that should be reserved for citizens

Makie getting housing easier for American. Screw cnn

I wonder what the House Democrats and their party has in common with illegals, this party is gradually becoming illegal and anti-citizen, this party has absolutely nothing to offer the country, they have never made any meaningful policy except witchunting, killing babies etc

Follow the rule of our laws and you will find the answer to so many questions that idiots forgot to ask. How can Senator's openly break the law and encourage others to do the same. Why is our Judicial Officials sitting on their hands?

'Undocumented', is that something illegal?

Rubbish

Freakin idiots

There are hundreds of thousands of US citizens including veterans who are homeless; Dems care more about illegals because illegals vote and vote for Democrats. Most Democrats in congress are insurgents, got in by voter fraud as they do not represent US citizens.

Should never been provided a place to begin with! We have Americans waiting for housing. Americans, regardless of political affiliation come first!

House Dems attempting to make it hard to follow another law, instead of doing their F'n job and make better laws.

Hence why immigrants come here legally. The loop hole for them to get federal assistance is having a kid born on us soil. Hence the kid gets the assistance via the parents. Aint that some crap? Its wrong plain and simple.

Illegal is illegal .. they shouldn't even be here... Let house them instead of the homeless in America

what about our homeless first... we have a multitude of homelessness in CA,

Good !!

Sorry this is one i agree even those i a dem . I believe citizens should be first.

Give them Oreos, because that is the only thing that man understands.

As they should be blocked from getting aid. Trump is smart and our government gives away our hard earned taxes on undocumented workers is a joke.

Why should citizens fund non citizens? TaxationIsTheft

Agreed, If you aren’t legal, you shouldn’t get my tax dollars!

Let them do it, lets see what is going to hapoen!

dems are wrong on this. I love immigrants, and have no issue with peaceful undocumented folks being allowed to stay. They should not receive government aid though.

That’s really sad and irresponsible. I hope they are soundly defeated in 2020.

Explain how illegals have a right to public housing ahead of U.S. citizens, and Vets?

They need to get rid of Ben Carson, he's just another lap dog for Trump.

Hold on! Undocumented immigrants can receive federal aid of ANY kind, housing or otherwise? Make it harder? No make it impossible to receive.

Undocumented means you are illegal. Once again putting illegals over legals

More difficult? They are taking care of LEGAL Americans first. Democrats prove daily they are not America first. WakeUpAmerica

Are you really suggesting that American citizens pay to house illegals? Wtf is wrong with you

Good. Illegal immigrants aren’t entitled to squat

Hey CNN, these are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!!! Why should legal American taxpayers pay ANYTHING for these ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS that don't respect Americia and American laws. Democrat's need to help veterans not ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. WHY DO DEMOCRAT'S HATE AMERICIA AND AMERICANS.

How are you going to give housing aid to illegals when we have so very many homeless people? Your values are so effed up, it is why we are in this mess. You take care of your home, ........... before helping anyone else. Stop the political BS.

House Democrats are SHIT!!

Because they want open borders and government reliant voters!!

I hope they succeed

HouseDemocrats You are a crock! AmericansFirst🇺🇸

Good for the Trump administration.

I hate to say it but the Trump administration is correct on this. We need to concentrate on fixing what’s broken with our US citizens, especially our veterans who served in the military.

Well of course they are.

The democrats wants illegal immigrants . Want them to receive government assistant too . Are they above the law or is it just trump above the law for the democrats?

Your trying to change the voting demographic and nothing more. If you cared about helping people you would not have the highest homeless rates,people going hungry etc in your own democratic run states. You will push patriots of our nation over their breaking point eventually. BW

The Democrat party is sick.

Why should illegal undocumented people get any taxpayer money ? Incredible that this is even considered. We have American citizens who are homeless!

The Democrats want free housing for illegals and let our vets live on the street!

Illegal immigrants don’t deserve government handouts! How about helping out our homeless citizens instead?

Looks like democrats represent illegal immigrants now instead of Americans . Taking care of their voting base I guess .

They aren't citizens, so let's give to our homeless and vets .

What?

Americans last...according to the democrat philosophy...

Trump wins again

Vote them out of office!

That's the DIM-Dems way of doing business. 100k+ people on waiting list for Federal subsidized housing in CA, and they give 35,000 units to Illegals. If that's not buying illegal votes, what is? Begin the eviction process for any/all non-citizens.

Give Ben some Oreos

States pay plenty already

This crap is what the democrats fight for? The rights Citizens of other countries to claim taxpayers funded Benefits intended for America citizens.

This guy is up there with thee most odious in this Trump administration.....although it's neck and neck with DeVos, Conway and Huckerbee-Sanders.

HouseDemocrats got a guaranteed vote from all of them...apparently, Homeless Veterans vote Gop.

Note to the Democrats Americans need these housings first

Expect nothing else from the Anti-American party. And anti-America liberal media.

Again, 'illegal' immigrants

Once again. Dems show they care more about citizens of other countries over American citizens.

So please explain why we would pay for illegal immigrants housing?

House Democrats are seeking to block the orange man administration from following through on a plan to make it more difficult for undocumented immigrants to receive justice league housing aid

Why would someone who's here Illegally, CNN the world is illegal immigrant (you can say undocumented to soften it but it's illega), recieve governmentaid when we have scores of our own homeless? This is why Democrats suck and don't get it.

What a CRYING SHAME when homeless citizens get the backhand from Democrats. Supporting illegals instead of their own

Apparently, Democrats prefer to crap on our veterans and put illegals first!

The democrats should try to fix

Of course they are. That’s what they do....

Correction- illegal immigrants

Yet another example of Democrats putting the welfare of illegal aliens above the American citizens.

I H MEANING OF I H 4:07 FOR I GOD EVERY ON 217 JENNIFER O(FC)BENCHAIN BB 1035 29 ANY MORE 30 SHALL THEY GOD AM

michelesnyderFL How convenient. Can't get housing so they will be forced to stay in the guarded worker dormitories (US taxpayers pay for) that Trump set up for the Xi-controlled factories coming to the US, like Foxconn (Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu are Xi's). Treason

I do not agree with providing housing assistance to people here illegally, as it violates the law. If identified, they should be detained. That being said, throwing kids on the streets as leverage for a legislative agenda is reprehensible. Par for the course of this admin...

No wonder Democrats are loosing big time . Stop paying free money to illegals. Cut all free money to illegals and people who don’t work

More 'ridiculousness' from the dems! Are they kidding!! We the taxpayers are now paying to house illegal immigrants!!😲 that's insane!! Vote those idiots out of office!😖 According to the the 'lying' dems the crisis is also manufactured!! Trump2020LandslideBaby

It’s hard enough for US citizens to get it why should illegal immigrants get it easy?

Somebody wake Carlson up.

So citizens can get them first. They made the law housing just following. What a crock.

The poor are being oppressed in so many ways. I.E.: government housing is so unethical & a danger to the residents, 👁I’ve witnessed maintenance workers literally dousing the backyard gardens with roundup without even notifying the residents. -raspberry patches that the kids eat.

And House Democrats have done NOTHING for homeless vets because it’s not their constituency. Only non Americans are.

Now there’a time well spent. Fighting for non-American’s benefits. 🙄 Democrats are clueless about the pulse of the American people

This is all about future votes for Democrats. If a law were passed that illegals could stay but never vote, it changes the game totally.

Oh great. Worry more about illegals than Americans. Democrats at it again. Giving away all the taxes we pay. Bankrupting all of American welfare for AMERICANS!!!!

Thought that anyone in the U.S. illegally is automatically not entitled to any form of government subsidy, so why is this necessary?

Why? It's an excellent plan!

You mean ILLEGAL immigrants.
