How was this not already a thing?

A new rule published this week requires residents in federal public housing to show proof of citizenship. This implies there are illegals taking advantage of such benefits. This means that any noncitizen who takes part in such a program de facto takes the spot of an American struggling to make ends meet. The fact that it took until 2026 for this to even be a thing is astonishing.

Per CBS:

Residents of federally funded public housing will be required to show proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status under a new rule published Thursday by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The measure could displace nearly 80,000 people, including tens of thousands of citizens in mixed-status families, from their homes, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research and policy institute.

Does this mean there are up to 80,000 illegals in public housing? Again, the fact that there was no outrage over this is the scandal here. If those people truly are ineligible, this can only help Americans.

Can you recall any country in the world that allows Americans, especially the ones who have broken federal immigration laws, to be afforded free or subsidized housing? No? That is what I thought. This is what makes it bizarre, unsustainable, and a slap in the face to Americans for the government to allow such a benefit for those who are not even supposed to be here in the first place. Can anyone make it make sense?

I guess better late than never, right?
