HUD Secretary ENDS All Taxpayer-Funded Housing for Illegal Aliens


Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner just announced that the time is over for illegal aliens piggybacking off of taxpayers to get free housing.

Secretary Turner is teaming up with DHS Chief Kristi Noem to prevent illegal aliens from exploiting aid programs designed for American families.

Both Turner and Noem signed a memorandum today aimed at stopping the “wasteful misappropriation of taxpayer dollars to benefit illegal aliens instead of American citizens.”

Check out Secretary Turner’s announcement on X:

“No more taxpayer-funded housing for illegals.”

That good with everyone?

More details on exactly what this agreement entails, per an HUD press release:

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem today signed the “American Housing Programs for American Citizens” Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), to end the wasteful misappropriation of taxpayer dollars to benefit illegal aliens instead of American citizens.

As part of this new agreement, HUD will provide a full-time staff member to assist in operations at the Incident Command Center (ICC), establishing an interagency partnership to facilitate data sharing and ensure taxpayer-funded housing programs are not used to harbor or benefit illegal aliens.

“American tax dollars should be used for the benefit of American citizens, especially when it comes to an issue as pressing as our nation’s housing crisis,” said Secretary Scott Turner. “This new agreement will leverage resources including technology and personnel to ensure American people are the only priority when it comes to public housing. We will continue to work closely with DHS to maximize our resources and put American citizens first.”

“The Biden Administration prioritized illegally aliens over our own citizens, including by giving illegal aliens taxpayer-funding housing at the expense of Americans. Not anymore. The entire government will work together to identify abuse and exploitation of public benefits and make sure those in this country illegally are not receiving federal benefits or other financial incentives to stay illegally. If you are an illegal immigrant, you should leave now. The gravy train is over,” said Secretary Kristi Noem.

The Trump administration has begun an interagency effort to end what it describes as the “exploitation of housing programs” by illegal aliens.

In a statement published on Monday, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced that it had established the “American Housing Programs for American Citizens” Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The agreement was also signed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The MOU is geared towards ending “the wasteful misappropriation of taxpayer dollars to benefit illegal aliens instead of American citizens,” the press release stated.

“As part of this new agreement, HUD will provide a full-time staff member to assist in operations at the Incident Command Center (ICC), establishing an interagency partnership to facilitate data sharing and ensure taxpayer-funded housing programs are not used to harbor or benefit illegal aliens,” the release read.

The effort comes a month after President Donald Trump signed an executive order (EO) to “ensure taxpayer resources are not used to incentivize or support illegal immigration.” The EO, signed on Feb. 19, ordered government departments to identify which federally-funded programs are “providing financial benefits to illegal aliens,” and mandated them to “take corrective action.”
