Faced with an unrelenting surge of foreign nationals coming to the southern border, the Biden Administration has devised a new plan: More comfortable 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 new program would be free 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 only 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 surely 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 illegally, deserve to be treated humanely and compassionately while they’re here, but this housing plan goes far beyond that. Instead, 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 impossible 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 currently homeless, and that number has climbed by around six percent every year since 2017, according to National Alliance to End Homelessness. This includes roughly 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 currently homeless.
Thankfully, Congress, not the administration, holds the power of the purse, and thus has the final say on whether this program will be funded. Congress should decline to play games with the administration’s misplaced priorities, and instead 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.
Almost every policy this administration proposes or enacts on this issue is designed to weaken America’s borders and import even more illegal aliens into the country. This new housing program is just the latest example of this.

Lets House them all in the homes of the Open Borders Hollywood Nitwits I am dure they would want them to set up on their estates and tend their Gardens
Kasandra says
We shouldn’t have to house them at all as they should not be here. Why should the taxpayers have to pay for Biden’s folly? You cannot have a welfare state and open borders.
David Ray says
You’re quoting the exceptional economist, Milton Friedman, which means you know more than anyone in Sleepy Joe’s administration.
(Depth of knowledge isn’t criteria they weigh in picking cabnet positions, as Kamala & the current press secretary prove.)
Michael says
David,
The exceptional economist who (I’m a fan of) won his Nobel on a faulty foundation…look deep.
Michael says
Kasandra,
Keep in mind that Citizenship trumps being a taxpayer, or is supposed to. By the way, our administration is not driving this great replacement, they’re following orders.
CowboyUp says
Just imagine how low our poverty level would be if we didn’t import millions of poor people a year. Dems need poverty, so they create it, sustain it, and import it.

JOE BIDEN’S AMERICA: ILLEGALS FIRST, VOTING BOOTHS SECOND
Everything is “cheap” to the migrants pouring into our communities: from “citizenship” to college. How could they ever understand what those things really cost?
Penn State offers in-state tuition to out-of-staters if certain conditions are met
By Olivia Murray
It is a timeless aphorism: “Under the left, it pays to be a criminal.” It was true of the Nazi Party’s Brownshirts, it was true of the Bolshevik revolutionaries, and it’s true of America’s illegal alien population under the modern Democrats.
Per a Campus Reform article out Wednesday:
Amidst a budget crisis, Pennsylvania State University offers in-state tuition rates to qualifying illegal immigrants while American citizens across the country are charged out-of-state tuition.
Chief Mac says
8 U.S. Code § 1324 makes it a felony to house illegal aliens anywhere in the United States
p38ace says
The big flaw in this plan is that the foreigners consider our houses too small for them. They consider it an insult and are very vocal about this.
Kris says
Let them complain, then hopefully we’ll find more than enough reasons to escort them out!!!!! Better quit screwing around as citizen rights evaporate while illegals increase. Have we endured enough yet? We have our own deadbeats!!!!!
Barbara says
Bring in decommissioned containers and let them live in them.
phoebeintheforest says
No, Mr. Davis, everyone does NOT agree that illegals need to be treated compassionately and humanely while here. Anyway, what does that mean exactly? The more we give out for free, the more illegals we will attract. They must be too cold or too hot and very uncomfortable before they stop coming.
Maybe it’s just me, but I am getting the impression that these illegals under Biden lack the hustle that illegals of the past possessed. Past illegals knew they had to hustle to find a job and hustle to find a place to live…and then learn English. These new ones are content to sit in lines for literally days at a time and defecate where they sit. They sit and wait to be told what to do and where to go. They wait for hotel rooms, food, plane and bus tickets. Phones, walking around cash. They are like children.
Truly, I think families from around the globe have found a way to rid themselves of lazy, feckless relatives.

The only solution is mass deportation, and lethal force at the border. . Nothing less should be considered. This is a fight for our survival.
Snuffy Carter says
From their graves:
President Eisenhower and President Truman: “Mass deportations? Why, we did this back in the 1940’s and 1950’s – we called it “Operation Wetback” – we sent as many illegals as we could find back to Mexico in order to create as many job openings as possible for returning veterans.”
President Wilson: “Lethal force at the border? Well, I did that back in my day as President – I sent General Pershing and his troops into Mexico to capture Poncho Villa and his gang because these Mexicans were coming into America to rob banks and then they quickly ran back into Mexico to avoid arrest. And guess what, liberal fools of 2023 – it worked – no more Poncho Villa and no more bank robberies at the border.”
David Ray says
Open question to Ann Coulter . . .
How’s Trump looking now? He’s the same Trump you wrote that suck-up campaign book about.
Mitt Romney & Crispy Creme Kristy are acting like spurned bitches because they didn’t get positions in Trump’s administration. So people are curious if your tantrum is borne of not getting a phone call from Trump.
If you were pissed that Trump didn’t seal the border tight, you must be livid, now, as we have no border.

WhiteHunter says
I’m still waiting for V.P. Kamala Harris’s Report on what she discovered on last year’s trip through Central and South America to find and analyze the “root causes” of this mass invasion of illegals across our border.
Has it been published by the Government Printing Office, and available for purchase, at least in paperback? Or on some .gov site that I don’t know about?
I eagerly want to read her findings, conclusions, and recommendations; but so far I haven’t been able to find her Report.
Any suggestions or links, anybody?
Snuffy Carter says
White house press secretary:
“I’m sorry – but after smoking pot for over 30 years, VP Ho doesn’t even remember that she went to Central America – too many holes in her brain now from destroying her brain cells – so if you want to see a report from her – just look at a blank sheet of paper.”
David Ray says
The root cause is shithead Sleepy Joe.
Kamala, proud of her slave-owning heritage, knows Joe is the cause (in spite of her low I.Q.) and also knows the press will run cover, so she also knows she can relax & just simply not give a shit.

“Everyone agrees that foreign nationals, even those who cross our border illegally, deserve to be treated humanely and compassionately”
No – most people don’t “agree”. Simply block them and send them back!
David Ray says
I’d have M60s do the blocking.
