Overview

  • The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has terminated FHA-backed mortgages for illegal immigrants, ensuring federal home loans benefit American citizens.
  • An interagency Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between HUD and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been implemented to prevent illegal immigrants from accessing public housing resources.
  • The initiative includes data-sharing mechanisms and compliance enforcement to identify and address the misuse of housing programs by illegal immigrants.
  • HUD cited data showing 59% of illegal immigrant households use at least one welfare program, costing taxpayers an estimated $42 billion annually.
  • The administration frames the policy as a response to the U.S. housing crisis and a broader effort to discourage illegal immigration and safeguard taxpayer resources.
