President Trump’s Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner just announced some huge news.
In a big win for the American people, Turner is booting all illegal aliens from taxpayer-funded Section 8 housing and other federal housing programs.
Now, proof of U.S. citizenship or legal immigration status will be xa requirement.
Turner has also given all Public Housing Authorities across the nation a deadline of 30 days to verify the legality of each and every tenant.
Watch what HUD Secretary Turner had to say here:
D.C. Housing Authority is on notice — we are demanding all citizenship information for residents.
We are telling the same to the more than 3,000 Public Housing Authorities across the country.

The full text of his letter reads:
Today, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is taking another direct and forceful action to steward taxpayer dollars wisely and end the subsidization of open border policies in HUD-funded programs and policies.
Within 30 days of receipt of this notice, HUD is requesting that every Public Housing Authority (PHA) provide a full and comprehensive accounting of all tenants who are receiving a Section 8 voucher and/or residing in HUD-funded housing.
HUD is requiring the name, mailing address, number of bedrooms, the cost of the unit, and proof of American citizenship or eligible immigration status as defined by the law. This information is required by law and this administration is upholding the law to its fullest extent.
No longer will illegal aliens be able to leave citizenship boxes blank or take advantage of HUD-funded housing, riding the coattails of hardworking American citizens.
Currently, HUD only serves one out of four eligible families due, in part, to the lack of enforcement of prohibition against federally funded assistance to illegal aliens.
HUD will leverage all available enforcement actions against entities who do not comply with the request for citizenship information, including, but not limited to, examination of HUD funding and/or evaluation of PHA program eligibility.
It’s unbelievable that illegal immigrants were allowed to get federally-funded housing, at the expense of the American taxpayer, in the first place.
While by law, Section 8 housing applicants are supposed to be U.S. citizens or legal immigrants, under the previous administrations, they were allowed to leave citizenship boxes blank.
Even more infuriatingly, as Turner revealed, only one in four U.S. families who are eligible for Section 8 actually get it, due to so many illegal aliens flooding the program.
That means, for instance, many American single mothers desperate for assistance were turned away all because some illegal immigrant took their place.
Absolutely unreal.
So Americans waited years on Section 8 lists while illegals slid right in. Politicians knew, they just didn’t care who paid the price.

But, underneath President Trump, this isn’t going to be allowed to continue.
Now, the program will be used for what it was originally intended to do: to help struggling Americans get back on their feet.
What do you think?
