In a bombshell announcement that has Democrats scrambling, HUD Secretary Scott Turner revealed the Trump administration is shutting down a decades-old regulatory loophole that has allowed illegal aliens to exploit America's public housing system at taxpayers' expense.

Speaking exclusively on "The Alex Marlow Show" Thursday, Turner dropped the hammer on what he called the "mixed-status household" scam that has been bleeding American resources dry for far too long.

"There is a decades-old loophole in our regulation right now called mixed-status household that we're closing with our new proposed rule of qualified citizens," Turner declared, signaling the end of another Biden-era disaster that prioritized foreign nationals over struggling American families.

America First Housing Policy

This move represents exactly the kind of common-sense reform that Americans voted for when they handed President Trump a decisive mandate in 2024. While the previous administration rolled out the red carpet for anyone who crossed our border illegally, the Trump-Vance team is putting American citizens first.

"We're not going to allow people who broke our immigration laws to take housing away from American families who are playing by the rules," a senior HUD official told Next News Network.

For decades, this regulatory loophole has essentially operated as a backdoor amnesty program, allowing mixed-status households to access subsidized housing that should be reserved for legal American residents. Meanwhile, countless American families - including veterans and elderly citizens - have languished on waiting lists.

Deep State Resistance Expected

You can bet the administrative state and their allies in the mainstream media will fight this tooth and nail. They've spent years protecting these loopholes that benefit illegal aliens at the expense of hardworking Americans.

But Secretary Turner and the Trump administration aren't backing down. This is just the beginning of a comprehensive effort to prioritize Americans in their own country - a revolutionary concept that apparently escaped the previous regime.

How many more taxpayer-funded benefits have been quietly handed out to people who shouldn't even be in our country? And will Republicans finally have the backbone to support these America First policies all the way through?

FINALLY! This should have been done decades ago. American citizens and legal residents should always come first for taxpayer-funded housing assistance.

Exactly! My nephew has been on the waiting list for affordable housing for 2 years while working full time. This is long overdue.

Does anyone know if this applies to Section 8 vouchers too or just public housing projects? Either way, this is a step in the right direction for putting Americans first.

From what I understand it covers all HUD programs including Section 8. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

About time someone had the backbone to fix this. I've seen too many homeless vets while resources went elsewhere.
