Rep Tim Burchett says the housing bills that are we pushed through by Republicans and Democrats is a “Trojan horse”

[excalibur]

Holy cow! Just more Washington garbage that they fell all over each other to vote for.

If Dems were for it Republicans should have known better.

The bill allows for illegals to get taxpayer funded housing and rental assistance, and lets illegals buy homes in America

“Something in it is just crazy. It doesn't limit illegals from receiving housing welfare or limit foreign ownership. It actually includes Rashida Tlaib's $200 million affordable housing pilot program and includes COVID-era eviction moratoriums — You talk about the deep state, that's what it is”

“Everybody, the only color they see is green and it's coming out of your dadgum pocket. It's ridiculous.”

He’s absolutely right,

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act

• Expands housing-related programs and grants without adding stronger verification, citizenship requirements, or bans on funds flowing to noncitizens
• States like California would be able to use the money for programs to pay for housing for illegals
• The bill does not restrict non-US citizens or foreign entities from buying home
• It expands COVID-era eviction moratoriums and protections, which favors tenants like noncitizens over landlords and American citizens

I told you if you read it that you would have seen that it was so flawed that it should have been vetoed.

WTF, why are they even wasting time voting for this sh!T when they're ignoring the voting act!!!

I hope he does veto it.

But it passed both Houses overwhelmingly they will probably override it unless Trump marshals the people against it, and I am in doubt he will.

There is a reason the GOP desire to be the permanent opposition party. Many on Twitter view them as an insult to their brand.

 

[Hellokitty]

Is this the bill TRUMP won't sign without the voting act?
Damn at this point he shouldn't sign it even with the voting act because you know republicans will F that up with some bullsh!t language making it useless.

Burchett is one of the very few congressweasels who is at least marginally trustworthy.

  • States like California would be able to use the money for programs to pay for housing for illegals

What’s in the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act​

Provisions of the housing legislation include:

• Expanding access to mortgages under $100,000 through a pilot program backed by the Federal Housing Administration.
• Increasing the maximum loan limits for federal mortgage insurance programs.
• Limiting environmental review processes to accelerate homebuilding.
• Excluding veterans’ disability benefits from being counted as income for a veterans’ housing program.
• Preventing large corporations and institutional investors from purchasing new single-family homes unless expressly for the rental market.

The bill doesn’t appropriate new funding, though $200 million from HUD’s existing budget would be allocated to an annual competitive grant program for local governments and tribes that "demonstrate measurable increases in housing supply."

Phrases such as "alien," "illegal immigrant" or "undocumented immigrant" — often used politically to refer to immigrants illegally in the U.S. — do not appear in the bill text.

Under a bill first passed in 1980, federal rental assistance programs may not be used to benefit immigrants in the U.S. illegally and people with temporary legal status.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act would not change this.

Do the housing bill's benefits go to people in US illegally?

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said a 2026 housing bill, which he voted against, will go “to a lot of people that are here illegally to build houses for them.” That’s False.

It was Nancy Pelosi who once said we have to pass the bill first in order to see what's in it.
