HUD Secretary Scott Turner: "We need to continue to deport illegals that are taking houses from the American people"

Because illegal immigrants can so easily afford hundreds of thousands for houses or get mortgages for such houses financed, right?

A book describing the experiences of FDR's reluctant ambassador to Nazi Germany, the naive new ambassador was amazed at how cheaply his family could rent a spacious home in a tony area of Berlin.

Turns out there were many such properties available, all confiscated from German Jews.

Try finding enough roofers in Florida or Texas to fully meet demand without immigrants. And how many of them are here “legally”? I don’t know and frankly I don’t care.

Ship MAGA away, keep the immigrants.
Ship Heritage Foundation lawyers away, keep the immigrants.
Ship hedges fund managers away, and health insurance executives, too.

Ship GOP politicians away. Be hard-pressed to find ONE that any sane person would miss. The best among them were few and far between, and I think they all got out of office.
