Illegal immigrants in public housing — 13 Comments

  1. If the supply of public housing is too small to fill the demand, then the amount taxpayers are paying for it is the same regardless of who lives there, unless it’s illegal immigrant residents who make the difference between oversupply and undersupply. That doesn’t seem likely from your own figures.

  2. Neo, have you ever studied the history of Prop 187 in California? It denied illegals public assistance. The residents voted for it in an election. A federal judge overthrew it and Gov Davis refused to appeal it higher. One of the “hispanic” legislators called it the ” Last gasp of whites in California”. Whatever the official number is, you can bet in reality it is much higher, since illegals are experts in obtaining stolen Social security numbers to appear legit on paper.
    Last year in Texas we found out hundreds of illegals were registered to vote in just a single county. Juries are drawn from voter registrations and judges were getting the excuse that people could not serve because they were not citizens, so that sparked an investigation……

    Which is precisely why we should spend more money on the space program!

    It’s not like there will be less people living in public housing whether you spend it on spaceships or not. It’s not like you’ll get a tax cut if we built more spaceships or less public housing.

    You can spend the money on spaceships, laser weapons or public housing. The only constant will be the denizens in public housing, but at least we’ll have spaceships. Again.

    There is no upper limit to need, but there is a limit to resources. How can you not understand that?

  4. Hyman Rosen –
    If I have to feed the grasshoppers, I prefer them to be legal ones and not illegal ones.
    And I don’t expect it to be a generation of help.
    Lets try something new- Those that will not work, do not get to eat.
    Said the ant, tired of working to feed the grasshoppers. 🙁

  5. It comes to this: making provision for a problem guarantees the existence of the problem. Similarly, subsidizing something encourages it; taxing something discourages it.

    SF is learning this basic lesson the hard way re homelessness: the more programs, the more homeless people end up there.

    I’d love to see a voluntary tax contribution similar to the Presidential campaign one, but larger. Something along the lines of “Would you like to increase your taxes by the larger of $5000 or 10%, whichever is larger?”

    Then liberal do-gooders could soothe their consciences without forcing the grownups to do something that grownups know is fundamentally counterproductive by encouraging layabouts to come/stay here (or, for the homegrown ones, to remain layabouts).

  6. I don’t. (Quite the contrary.)

    The “layabouts” reference was made with respect to the broader issue of liberal programs gone awry, and more particularly with respect to SF’s problem with bums (aka layabouts and/or lunatics) who are creating such havoc in the city. The point was that creating SF’s “programs” to ameliorate the problem had the effect of exacerbating it by attracting to SF more people in need of the programs.

    With respect to illegal immigration, provision of housing (and the availability of employment) encourages it, and conversely.

  7. E-Verify Program for employment is threatened

    The department of Homeland Security has a great new program that allows employers to almost instantly determine employment eligibility. About 99.6 percent of all work-authorized employees verified through E-Verify are verified without having to take any type of corrective action. This is a program that works well. If every business in America used this system, all illegal immigrants would become unemployable and have to return to their homelands.
