Despite likely to be labelled 'right wing'...isn't a governments first responsibility to its citizens?

I'd understand carve outs for foreign workers, etc...but if you're a foreign WORKer, you'd hope that the work could pay for housing?

Social housing is typically a safety net for those fallen on hard times, or people with various handicaps and unable to work?

This is a consequence of a lot of people wanting immigrants but not wanting to pass the laws that would allow the number they want. Instead they try to bend the law (see asylum rules under Biden) or ignore it.

Personally I'd like to see more immigrants brought into the United States. Taking people from the rest of the world and turning them into Americans is a core competence of the country. That said the way it's being done is totally nutty.

Thanks for the heads-up. I work in public housing and these news articles are how we are typically notified!

I don't want my tax dollars going to house illegal immigrants in America.

Your tax dollars will house them anyways. If you don't like that, your only option is to leave.

At last. Too many homeless citizens to spend public housing on noncitizens.
