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.
