Faced with an unending surge of foreign nationals coming to the southern border, the Biden Administration has devised a new plan: More secure housing for people in the country illegally. The White House is requesting roughly$ 1 billion in funding to set up new housing for illegal aliens while their overwhelmingly illegitimate asylum claims play out in the courts. Under the administration’s plan, beneficiaries of this innovative program would be complimentary to go where they wish during the day, but would have to check in and stay the night in their houses, according to Axios. But, here’s the kicker. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the language of the White House’s proposal would allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE) to use any of its funding on housing for illegal aliens instead of enforcement. The use of the funds would be at the discretion of anti – borders Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. One can just imagine how Mayorkas is salivating at the potential opportunity to use his agency’s funding to further his anti – borders agenda. As former Acting ICE Director and Immigration Reform Law Institute Senior Fellow Tom Homan put it, this program would” would serve as yet another enticement, another magnet that will bring more families to our borders “. If this new housing program were to take effect, it would serve as further encouragement for foreign nationals to make the dangerous journey through Central America to the U. S. The Biden Administration spent the first half of 2023 concocting schemes to artificially lower the number of illegal crossings at the southern border, but those numbers still skyrocketed by more than 30 percent last month. The promise of new and improved housing for illegal aliens will definitely cause those numbers to soar even higher, empowering the cartels, and causing many migrants to die in the process, while further disrupting border communities already overwhelmed by the crisis. The administration’s proposed housing program appears to be another racket, designed to weaken our borders under the guise of compassion. Everyone agrees that foreign nationals, even those who cross our border improperly, deserve to be treated fairly and honestly while they’re here, but this housing plan goes way beyond that. Rather, the plan uses the promise of free housing and freedom of movement to lure more foreign nationals into the country, and it does so during a time when many Americans have been forced to live on the streets due to the lack of affordable housing in the U. S. If you live in or have recently visited a major U. S. city, it is difficult not to notice the large number of Americans living in tents and blankets on the streets, and the statistics bear this reality out. More than 420, 000 Americans are now poor, and that number has climbed by about six percent every year since 2017, according to National Alliance to End Homelessness. This includes about 37, 000 veterans, who have been forced to sleep in the streets of the country they risked their lives to serve. If the Biden Administration is looking to expand housing for certain groups, they should start with the hundreds of thousands of Americans who are already unemployed. Fortunately, Congress, not the administration, holds the power of the purse, and so has the final say on whether this program will be funded. Congress should decline to play games with the administration’s misplaced priorities, and otherwise insist that any new funding for ICE and DHS go towards enforcement and border security, not increased comfort for those who have violated our laws and illegally crossed our border. Nearly every policy this administration proposes or enacts on this issue is designed to weaken America’s borders and import even more illegitimate aliens into the country. This new housing program is simply the latest example of this. William J.

The Biden Administration is trying to find a solution to the unrelenting influx of foreign nationals at the southern border. They have devised a plan to provide more comfortable housing to illegal aliens. The White House has requested roughly $1 billion to build new housing while their asylum claims, which are overwhelmingly illegitimate, play out in court. Axios reports that the beneficiaries of the new program will be free to go wherever they want during the day but must check in and spend the night at their homes. Washington Free Beacon reports that the White House proposal allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement to use funding for housing illegal aliens rather than enforcement. Alejandro Mayorkas, the anti-borders Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), would have the final say on how the funds were used. This program, according to Tom Homan, former Acting ICE director and Immigration Reform Law Institute Senior fellow, would “serve as yet another enticement” that would bring more families to our border. If this new housing program was to go into effect, it would encourage foreign nationals to continue the dangerous journey from Central America to the U.S. The Biden administration spent the first half 2023 devising schemes to artificially reduce the number of illegal border crossings, but the numbers skyrocketed last month by more than 30%. The promise of better housing for illegal aliens is sure to cause these numbers to soar, empowering cartels and causing many migrants die in the process. It will also further disrupt border communities already overburdened by the crisis. This housing plan goes beyond treating foreign nationals with compassion and humanity, even if they crossed our border illegally. The plan promises free housing and freedom of travel to attract more foreign nationals to the U.S., at a time when Americans are forced to live in tents or blankets due to a lack of affordable housing. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, more than 420,000 Americans currently live on the streets. This number has increased by six percent each year since 2017. About 37,000 veterans have been forced to sleep on the streets in the country where they risked life to serve. The Biden Administration should first focus on the hundreds of thousands who are homeless in the United States. Congress, not the Biden administration, has the final say over whether or not this program is funded. Congress should not play games with this administration’s misplaced priority and insist that any funding for ICE or DHS goes towards enforcement and border protection, and not to provide comfort to those who have broken our laws and crossed our border illegally. This new housing program represents the latest example. William J.
