HUD's own analysis concluded that half of the residents in households potentially facing evictions and homelessness are children who are legally eligible for aid.

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson watches as President Trump and first lady Melania Trump arrive for a dinner celebrating evangelical leadership in the State Dining Room of the White House in 2018.

[Trump administration seeks to limit access to U.S. for immigrants who use or are likely to use public assistance] Undocumented immigrants may no longer sign the leases of subsidized housing, even if their children are entitled to prorated benefits. “HUD expects that fear of the family being separated would lead to prompt evacuation by most mixed households,” the agency’s analysis said. “Temporary homelessness could arise for a household, if they are unable to find alternative housing. ”Those mixed-status families in subsidized housing receive an average of $8,400 per household a year, according to the HUD analysis, which is typically written by career staff.

As a result, the analysis said, “there could be fewer households served under the housing choice vouchers program” — contrary to the Trump administration’s stated goal of getting more families off the years-long waiting lists for housing assistance.

So why don't they get documented?is their a problem to get documented?I am kinda curious,I hope I am not asking the wrong questions

HUD is just a program to enrich mayors and landlords. The city can allow homeless and immigrants to move into schools at 3 pm once they close. Stop the selfish HUD money grab.

Much needed illegals take away from Americans on a daily basis! Great idea!

Boo , impeach the imbacile.

BoSnerdley Homeless American citizens illegal aliens

The hud program is not for illegals immigrants, many Americans are homeless and families that can’t afford to pay a rent, let Americans first.

Does this ever ends?I hope america doesn't allow these Nazi type policy to come into effect into your democracy what's is this purging HUD I hope you stand against this and all well thinking Americans

Disgusting

You mean illegals !!!!! Stop it !!!!!!!

By “undocumented” do you mean they broke at least one law and are here illegally?

Illegals illegals illegals

Kick them out too. Boom problem solved

Then fix the border so they aren’t placed in these positions. They broke into our country illegally. There are consequences for their actions.

Is there a positive side of this story? if none exist dont publish. You are not opposition you are a MEDIA house. your work is to report not to make final judgement. I didn't go to college but i posses rational thinking than all your editors and reporters

KenJone56612075 “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” Luke 17:2 😩😩

😂😂😂US citizens first.

More Winning!!

Questions regarding immigration & when does immigration become over immigration & when does over immigration hinder a nation. Questions needing to be answered regardless any level ignorance, immigrant aliens or those yet affected by homelessness think in order to sleep at night.

Thats the same number of homeless generational citizens throughout LA dealing with homelessness. Keep in mind that this is the trade off, now it's time to see just how many in our government will be focused on making America great again by finally helping our own people or not.

Human Trafficking?

Deport them all. They are NOT our responsibility. We do NOT reward criminals, which is what these illegals are, hence the word illegal deport them all to their own countries.

What’s next firing squads

Ben Carson getting it done! Thank you

Good

Ok, and what? Are those spots not ment for American children in need?

BoSnerdley How many homes will this make for US citizen children? Why should immigrant childen have priority over US citizen children living on the streets?

About time!

He doesn't care. He doesn't care. He doesn't care.

Dear God, the callous complacency of these frightful people.

GOP - Greed Over People - Atta BOY!

So? They do not belong here.

Hospital ships have been repurposed before, send them 5000 at a time to central America.

Ben Carson is willing to operate on children for a fee, but as a public servant for HUD he sees them as expendable. Republican ideology.

Americans taxes should not b paying for this!! Americans need the help and there is only so much

Illegal immigrants shouldn’t get my tax dollars.

BoSnerdley So.

👋🏽bye

Next question is how many homeless Americans that are citizens could be living in HUD housing that non-american citizens have taken up. I've been told repeatedly by liberals that illegal immigrants don't qualify for government assistance. Seems like that was a lie

They were displaced by being here illegally in the first place. BYE!

Let the dems abort them!

Surgeon leader to surgeon who💋

BoSnerdley They’re undocumented, a euphemism for ILLEGAL. Why are US taxpayers responsible?

BoSnerdley Consequences for no documentation🤷🏻‍♀️ American Citizens are on waitlists......! Come legally & get in line!

Good start.

DrNurseProf POTUS is an EVIL MONSTER. Period. Full Stop.

Lol Good! IllegalAliens

BoSnerdley They shouldn't be here in the first place! This never ends.

Illegal immigrants sneak across the border into the US. They marry US citizens, move into these HUD homes, the illegal immigrants don’t pay taxes. The legal wife collects welfare, food stamps. Send money back home to family in their native country, & they live high off the hog.

That’s right Trump admin loves to make the children suffer because they have no voice.....I am in utter disgust that Republicans can support this behavior

BoSnerdley American children who’ve been on waiting lists for years will be able to move into HUD housing with their families!

Good, we should not have got house illegals, deport them to their native countries with parents.

Um, yeah. Because they’re taking up space that CITIZENS could be renting. ‘Cause they’re illegal.

Why not send them back WITH the parents?

Just so sad

BuildTheWall DeportThemAll ASAP. If they are ILLEGAL aliens, they must be sent back home! They can't live off of our tax payer funded entitlements, especially when hundreds of thousands of American CITIZENS are living on our streets homeless! Fuck the DemocRATs and the left!

And the problem is?

Good. No need to waste tax payer $$ on illegals...These immigrants shoulda come LEGALLY then ! This admn is obligated to serve AMERICANs not illegals ! BuildTheWall

God if only these ppl could just get a taste of the suffering and pain they put upon others...im sorry but Karma isn’t working fast enough some of these Republicans seem to get pleasure from destroying the lives of others AND THAT SHIT IS NOT OK😡

Why can’t caring democrat millionaires and billionaires take them into their homes and neighbourhoods

WHAT ABOUT THE DISPLACED HOMELESS AMERICAN KIDS LIVING ON THE STREETS? YOU PEOPLE NEED TO GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT. UNDOCUMENTED'S NEED TO FIGHT TO REGAIN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. THEY DO HAVE ONE. AMERICANS FOUGHT, BOUGHT, & DIED TO GET U.S., THEY CAN DO SAME TO GET THEIRS BACK!

TRUMP HAS NO HEART.

Trump: That is not enough. Evict more.

That is just a number we are aware of with Those that have reported!!! What about those That are afraid? This number could be twice that are even higher!!!

If they were. Ot here illegally they would ot have any problems would thry

screwing over the slaves, harder and harder

As they should be. They aren’t supposed to be here at all.

Send them back to their country. They’re here illegally, enforce the law. (There actually is a law)

They can go home.

Like I always say.. GOP are all for the child as long as it’s still in the womb. Once they make their exit they are no longer matter. It’s the GOP way. Sad.

Won’t be the first ones disappointed and affected by poor choices of their parents 🤷🏿‍♂️

This Guy gets it....

Vote for something Better...

Millions of American children and their mothers are waiting in line, some for many years, to get into HUD-subsidized housing.

Should have stopped giving theses illegals free services years ago they never paid into it.

rolandsmartin As a child who was raised in the Seventh Day Adventist church, your story was widely shared & inspired many. Now all I see is a man without a SOUL !!

WAPO is deceiving the public. I worked in HUD housing and government rules for subsidized housing require asking for citizenship status, which we were required to verify. No subsidies were allowed for households with undocumented members.

American children or illegal children?

LOS VAS A MANTENER TU PUES MI FAMILIA TRABAJA Y NO MOLESTA A NADIE PERO TAMPOCO VA A MANTENER TODOS LOS DIAS NASE UNO Y NO LO MANTIENE QUIEN LO HIZO.EL GOBIERNO NO PUEDESEGUIR TAMPOCO COJIEND O NUESTRO DINERO QUE BASTANTE SE HASE. PERO UNA PREJUNTA POR QUE LOS QUE PROTESTAN

Guess illegal parents should return with their children before they displace their kids

As if illegal aliens are legally residing in the country. How about evicting a broken Democratic party from government, good for nothing under achieving snake oil selling losers.

So what's the problem?

So happened to me. It’s not the end of the world you know. Actually it broadened my knowledge.

This is another reason why Trump can get a second term in office or it will spell DOOM for so many in this country like the Elderly, the Disable, Our Vet's and so many other's that depend on HUD and to have children displaced under Trump and his Administration is just wrong.

Displaced is not good. Keep families together and deport them all

Listed to a border patrol official state that just over 100,000 were apprehended last month, and this year, 2019), they are already over 500,000 apprehensions. The year is not even half over. Congress needs to do something.

The pro lifers can take them in under their wings

Government Housing assistance is for poor US Citizens, not illegal aliens. they should be evicted. Providing these kinds of benefits to Illegals is itself illegal.

There's homeless children sleeping on the streets. Waiting for housing. (taxpayers go first) taxpayers shouldn't have to pay to house illegal fence jumpers.

Illegal aliens shouldn’t be getting any benefits at all. The very fact we know they are illegal and actions aren’t being taken is absurd.

That SOB.

The “constitutional crisis” is what to do with children born in US to illegal immigrants.

Then they came for the families of the undocumented, then...

Not newz; how about doing some real investigative journalism for a change

Sad but we've been told that illegal aliens DO NOT USE benefits financed/paid by US taxpayers!!! Appealing to emotion to hide the truth NoHateJustTruth

They can go back to their actual homes .

Good, kick them out

Good! I don’t want MY TAX DOLLARS paying for criminals. If we quit giving them FREE housing and food they will go back to their homes.

My gawd, what a morning. I’ve been on twitter for 10 minutes and have been irate the entire time.

Displaced 55,000 LEGAL kids greater than population of, for example: ElkartIN; NewBraunfelsTX; OakParkIL; PensacolaFL; IdahoFallsID; CarsonCityNV; EastLansingMI; PetalumaCA; LittletonCO & just under population of Cheyenne,LARGEST city in Wyoming.Source:

Maybe they can form a caravan and head home....

I wish Trump would send all these families to Sanctuary cities

ImpeachmentHearingsNow

It’s sad circumstances, but never forget we still have 2 million American children living in the streets. -M

FLOTUS do you see this? What are you doing about this since you’re “ all about the children”

Can you tell us how much of Trump's (including Ivanka's) products are produced overseas and what the import tariff rates are on those goods?

Of course everything they touch will crumble and be destroyed.

Carson must be so proud!

You mean the ones that aren’t supposed to be here in the first place...

On the one hand this opens up the section 8 waiting list...on the other hand...it's underhanded.

So they were living here, in government subsidized housing, but couldn’t find the time to work on becoming citizens?

So they’re going to start enforcing the rules....that the rest of us follow.

Stop it

God Help these Children😢

Heartless!

Mon

disgusting.

Shameful, disgusting. This is the stuff of third world countries which is what we’ve become under this criminal leadership! ImpeachDonaldTrump

I'm so happy the Trump administration is filled with Christians. Can you imagine the horror if they didn't have faith!

Trump doesn't care. All he sees is $ signs with his name on it. Now who owns the detention centers again?

Illegals is the correct term. They are not supposed to be in US.

THE WASHINGTON PIMP I MEAN POST, NOW YOU ARE PLAYING ON THE SYMPATHY OF GOOD PEOPLE IN OUR NATION. BUT YOU AND DEMOCRATS CREATE THESE PROBLEMS BY SUPPORTING OPEN BORDERS WHERE LEGAL AND ILLEGAL COME INTO OUR NATION. ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL. FACT.

New housing for veterans

What do Terrorist , the media and Democrats/liberals have in common? Answer: they all use Children to hide behind in their arguments.

What about Yemeni children killed by the Houthi gangs?

Good. Make it painful. Split up families. Send a message.

So, we have epic homeless rates, esp in CA and we are giving $ to ILLEGALS before CITIZENS WTH is this? I wish we could help the world, but no $ for that. We are in debt in our own country senfeinstein HUDgov potus senkamalaharris gavinnewsom usatoday dhsgov abc2020

Cruelty is a feature, not a bug

Twitter would be useful if people READ articles BEFORE tweeting. From article:”HUD acknowledged that Trump administration plan to purge undocumented immigrants from public housing could displace more than 55,000 children,all of whom are LEGAL U.S. residents or citizens” Resist

What have this moron do as a HUD secretary? How many people have he helped? He should be subpoena to testify before a grand jury as of why the children are doing worst.

I was under the impression that illegal immigrants of this country didn’t qualify for public assistance? I’m not trying to be contrary or snarky it’s a real question?

Let’s get a caravan of our own heading south. Include Congress.

CasaFreehold

So they came here not only to work but also to use federal benefits. Do tell that they also trash our public schools

Evil accelerating feeds on the suffering of children

I have a better idea. Let's reunite them in Mexico

How does someone in the country illegally get federal aid for housing? How many Americans have issues affording or even getting housing. Disgraceful

Unmitigated evil.

But that many American children with American parents could be in the rightful housing.

Child abuse.

Too bad. Send them all back home

Why are we allowing illegal immigrants to take away tax payer funded benefits from legal immigrants? We have been told over and over that illegals don’t get public assistance, & yet here they are living off the American taxpayer.

It won’t just be immigrants. They will evict anyone with brown skin and claim they are suspect.

So illegal aliens are eligible for HUD but Americans have to live in cars and tents when they fall on hard times?

More than that, are HOMELESS...HOMELESS AMERICAN CHILDREN

They are illegal! Time to go home!

Hmmmm, ilegals getting housing over homeless Americans. Seems like a typical liberla favorite.

Good

55,000 American children. They are citizens.

So the federal government allows illegal immigrants to take up limited resources which displace American citizens and legal immigrant. Sounds about right.

Illegal aliens Came here Illegally Not from Here Illegal Aliens

Illegal aliens.

They shouldn't even be in the country and they are taking from inner city minority American citizens. American citizens first!!!!!

Bernie Madoffs kids suffered too. Dumb parents who broke the law.

55,000 illegals out of government housing. 55,000 Americans in government housing. Makes sense that we take care of Americans first.

Again, any ugly things happened we find Trump is existing there.

55,000. Undocumented immigrants could be displaced? It sounds like the past leadership fell asleep at the wheel and now the law finally caught up to them. They should have been evicted a long time ago, if that was the case... this number would have been a lot lower.

Trump doesn't really care. Mostly, what politicians care about is getting re-elected.

More Steven Miller cruelty, ChuckGrassley How low can the TrumpGOP go? Why do you bow? SenThomTillis SenJoniErnst lisamurkowski

He just will not stop until he has completely destroyed this country & all that is good

That tells you much, illegal aliens are exploited by the socialist loving Marxist to expand the dependent underclass in America.

Being more aware of the sucsses of whther it is a rflction mtrial whther it is an importnt topic of dscssion which is acheved dmcrtics it is fortunate tht satan cnnot prtcipate if the cn take part in the probe of seeing who is dazzling whther he need to remember from winning

Will this make more housing available for homeless American citizens, including veterans? If so, it is worthwhile.

The SAME PEOPLE raising a stink about this possibility are the SAME PEOPLE promoting abortion NOW who REALLY cares about children God the Father THAT'S WHO JesusChrist heals ALL WOUNDS 🙏🙏🙏❤❤💯💪 WakeUpAmerica allthewayup

TRUMP STINK.. HE DOESNT CARE. THIS IS TYRANNY

It's ok, they have cages for that.

Jesus must be so proud of them.

Tax payers shouldn’t be paying for illegal’s housing!

Or they can leave w/ parents

Heartless

The compassionate healer.🙄

Plz evict the Trumps out of public housing at 1600.

Perhaps they could go home

chooselife?

flotus could engage some criminal investigation Against The Author of that ?

And the GOP doesn’t care at all. It’s a serious problem
