Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner is taking decisive action to end a shameful decades-old scam that's allowed illegal aliens to steal public housing from deserving American citizens and legal immigrants.

In an exclusive interview on "The Alex Marlow Show" Thursday, Turner dropped a bombshell announcement about his department's plans to close what he called a "decades-old loophole in our regulation right now called mixed-status household."

"We're closing [this loophole] with our new proposed rule of qualified citizens," Turner declared, signaling the Trump administration's commitment to putting Americans FIRST in their own country.

Ending the Housing Scam

For too long, illegal immigrants have gamed the system through so-called "mixed-status households" – a bureaucratic sleight-of-hand that allowed people with no legal right to be in America to access housing benefits meant for citizens and legal residents.

While hardworking Americans struggle with skyrocketing rent prices and a housing crisis, our tax dollars have been subsidizing housing for people who broke our laws to get here. It's outrageous, and Secretary Turner is finally doing something about it.

This announcement comes as part of President Trump's broader crackdown on illegal immigration and his promise to prioritize American citizens over foreign lawbreakers. The new "qualified citizens" rule will ensure that public housing benefits go to those who have a legal right to be here – not border jumpers looking for a taxpayer-funded handout.

America First Housing Policy

Turner's decisive action represents exactly the kind of common-sense governance Americans voted for in 2024. No more subsidizing illegal immigration. No more rewarding lawbreaking. No more putting foreign nationals ahead of struggling American families.

This is what happens when you have an administration that actually works for the American people instead of pandering to open-borders activists and their media allies.

How many American citizens could have been housed if we hadn't been giving away their spots to illegal aliens all these years?

Does anyone know what percentage of public housing was actually going to illegals? Would love to see the real numbers on this abuse of the system.

FINALLY! Someone with backbone willing to enforce the law as written. American citizens and legal immigrants should always be prioritized for taxpayer-funded assistance.

Exactly right! I know veterans who have waited months for housing assistance while illegals cut in line.

This is just common sense policy. What's the point of having immigration laws if we reward people for breaking them with free housing?

Common sense isn't so common anymore unfortunately. Glad to see someone fighting back.

About time! My elderly neighbor has been on a waiting list for affordable housing for over two years. How is it fair that people here illegally get benefits before law-abiding citizens?
