Hagerty's Bill Targets Undocumented Housing Access | Wilmington News
Description
Senator Bill Hagerty is rolling out bold new legislation to block undocumented immigrants from accessing federal housing benefits, arguing that current loopholes are unfairly crowding out American citizens and legal residents who need these resources most. The End Housing Welfare for Illegal Aliens Act would require strict citizenship verification before any housing assistance is granted — a move currently optional — and even threatens to cut federal funding to sanctuary cities, aiming to pressure them into enforcing immigration laws. With an estimated 24,000 undocumented individuals currently using HUD programs, Hagerty’s plan seeks to realign taxpayer-funded housing with legal eligibility, framing it as a common-sense solution to a growing crisis — especially as vulnerable groups like the elderly and disabled face worsening housing shortages.
