More proof that all democrats are mexico-firsters and america-haters.
Wut? DC mayor wants to kick out the homeless but defend illegal aliens?
jan 16 2016 Washington, D.C., is one of three cities in the country that have a “right to shelter” law, which states that when the temperature drops below 32 degrees, any resident without a safe place to go is entitled to temporary shelter. Because of this rule, homeless people living in other jurisdictions often flock to our nation’s capital during the winter months, creating a strain on pre-allocated resources.
In September, D.C.’s Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser introduced the Homeless Services Modernization Amendment Act, in order to update and improve the 2005 Homeless Services Reform Act. The proposed legislation would now require homeless individuals seeking shelter to provide proof of residency, to ensure that District residents receive priority.
Ironically, the city has taken the exact opposite approach to the issue of illegal immigration. Mayor Bowser announced this week that she has pledged $500,000 in taxpayer money for a grant program to help illegal-immigrant residents in deportation proceedings, among other services. Interestingly enough, there seems to be no requirements for such individuals to receive government aid.
