State-funded housing for illegal immigrants?

(myfoxboston) - "There's very high demand for state-public housing,” says Amy Shectman of the Department of Housing and Community Development. In Massachusetts. The state owns approximately 50,000 housing units and there’s no central wait list. So that means those in need of housing, based upon their income, go either to their city or town to sign up.

“It you combined all the households, 85,000 or so are on the waitlist for 50,000 units,” Shectman says. Some families double up on waitlists because there are never enough housing units for everyone who needs them.

During the election year, it made big news when President Barack Obama’s aunt was found living in state-funded housing in South Boston. When, at the time, she was technically in the country illegally.

“These are incredibly complex processes. They’re always very fluid, they’re not concrete,” says Toby Buevin, the policy director at the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition. It may not surprise you to know that it’s nearly impossible for the state to figure how many illegal immigrants are here living in state-funded housing. But no one is even allowed to ask.

“The status of your documentation is irrelevant per that U.S. District Court ruling,” Shectman says.

It’s a ruling that allows anyone access to state-funded housing, whether they’re here legally or not. Meaning non-citizens can get public housing paid for by tax-abiding citizens. The case dates back to 1977 and a federal consent decree out of Waltham. The result of a class-action lawsuit, the state is now prohibited from discriminating between legal and illegal residents. The Presdient’s aunt, therefore, like anyone else, can get housing under the law, regardless of her citizenship status.

“We like to obey the laws of the land and the U.S. District Court ruled that we are not allowed. It would be illegal for us to kick her out,” Shectman says.

“I think it’s wrong,” says State Senator Robert Hedlund, who is backing a bill which he says, puts “law-abiding citizens” at the top of any state housing waitlist.

“I think the federal government has it right; they require that we screen applicants for their citizenship status in an effort to keep someone who broke the laws of our country and came into the country illegally from getting taxpayers subsidized housing,” Sen. Hedlund says.

But those at the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition say that Senator Hedlund’s bill would essentially deny undocumented residents any housing.

“Really with the waiting list there would be no access to housing. And so the way that the bill in its current form is written, you would literally have citizen kids who are being denied access to housing because they might be living in a mixed-immigrant status family,” Buevin says. Senator Hedlund is moving forward with his bill. Right now its in the Committee on Housing, and should the committee approve it, the bill will then move to the full senate by next spring at the latest.

The president’s aunt has a deportation hearing in February. At last check she is still living in public housing in South Boston.

Talk about kicking our citizens in the face. As I said before, not until we hit bottom will these open borders idiots wake up. They will continue with the idea that there will always be plenty and our citizens can just wait. It's only when they have to wait or be denied that they'll question their stance.

The open borders "idiots" are already awake. They intend to destroy the American people (what's left of us) and have been succeeding very handily. It's the victims who are going to have to wake up. Americans are being reduced to the level of indentured servitude.

We pay. Others collect.

We complain. It's a hate crime and hate speech.

We live under an occupation government that is solidifying its control, step by insidious step.

Almost as long as I have been in CA there has been a waiting list for public housing. We did not have an immigration problem then. I think one day those with homes will not be able to keep them because of property taxes.

This was five years ago. Do you think the amnesty/open borders have hit bottom yet? With the crisis at the border, do you think they'll admit to what they created?

They won't hit bottom until they fall through it.

I won't get wrapped up in a lot of detail, but I know someone who manages apartment rentals which cater to subsidized rents. She's worked for several of these places.

It's astounding the amount of fraud which the government employees who administer these programs know about but refuse to address. As well, the manager has been told to keep quiet about it.

Many of these people have better cars, furnishings, and electronics than the manager can afford, with some in the past having a rental co-pay of as little as $8.00 a month. Quite often there are men living in the apartment who are not on the rental agreement and are gone during normal working hours during the week. They're back drinking beer on the porch in the evening and during the weekend.

Identity fraud and income fraud are pervasive, the government employees look the other way.

It'll be that way until the present system is dismantled and rebuilt - with entirely new people filling the slots.
