The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on Wednesday canceled some of the mortgages for illegal migrants, as the department looks to prioritize federal home loans for U.S. citizens.
Illegal migrants are already ineligible for Federal Housing Administration loans, but the new order will give HUD greater enforcement power to ensure that illegal migrants are not somehow getting assistance anyway, the National Review reported.
The order is part of HUD’s and the Department of Homeland Security’s new initiative that seeks to end “wasteful misappropriation” of taxpayer-funded public housing resources that are going to illegal immigrants, per Fox News.
HUD Secretary Scott Turner confirmed the news on social media, stating that his department was prioritizing Americans over those in the country illegally.
“Today, HUD terminated Biden’s taxpayer-backed FHA mortgages for illegal aliens,” Turner posted on X. “American taxpayers will no longer subsidize open borders by offering home loans to those who enter our nation illegally.”
The secretary added that the mortgages should benefit people who “play by the rules” and not illegal migrants.
The order also disqualifies migrants in the country legally, but who are in the U.S. on a temporary basis. It also disqualifies Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients, and people who are pending asylum because there is no guarantee that their residency status will be renewed or accepted, per the National Review.
The cancelation is expected to go into effect on May 25, 2025.
