HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
When you talk about Liberation Day, President Trump, under his leadership, literally is setting America free from the grips of other foreign global economies that have held literally us captive for all of these years. And so now, you know, it's reciprocity. If they're going to send tariffs on us, we send tariffs on them. And this is beneficial for the American people.

And so right now, it seems hard. Right now, it seems difficult. But we will not only survive this, but I think we'll thrive through it in the days ahead.

HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
Yes. So as you alluded to, Secretary Norman, we signed a partnership, MOU, if you will, to ensure that American taxpayer dollars are going to American citizens as it pertains to HUD funded housing. Previously in the Biden administration, there were horrible, irresponsible immigration laws broken. border security laws.
Morning Wire

And so you have 12 plus million people coming over our borders, and they were prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens. And so this MOU ensures that taxpayer dollars will go for American citizens that are living in HUD-funded housing. And so they've done a great job securing the border. Secretary Nome, President Trump, and all of our partners in the country

But now it's how do we protect the resources that we have and ensuring that they go to the American people, in particular as it pertains to housing that's funded by HUD.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
we don't know the exact number of illegal aliens in public housing we do know that there's nine million total residents in public housing government-funded subsidized housing but we also know 59 of illegal alien families use at least one of the welfare services in our country which costs us about 42 billion dollars a year so 42 billion dollars of

taxpayer money are going towards welfare type programs for illegal aliens. And so, you know, this is a big reason why we signed this MOU. It's a big reason why we also did the FHA revised residency requirement order that we sent the other day to keep mortgages that are insured by taxpayers to go to American citizens and no longer to illegal aliens.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
And so while we don't know the number, we are putting these things in process to control the resources and protect American taxpayer dollars.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
So we're putting financial controls in place now, and information sharing is a top priority here. Just like, and I'm going to go back to the MOU that we have with Secretary Noem, that's a personnel issue. It's a technology deal that we're signing with them so that we have people inside the agency working together
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
to make sure that we have the proper data of who's living inside of HUD funding housing. And so that's a priority for us going forward. And we do know there's about 24,000 ineligible members in HUD housing. And these are household members who marked non-contendant on a residency requirement, which was part of the application, which the Biden administration was allowing to happen.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
And so we are on top of that to get control of who is living inside of HUD funding housing. priority for us.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
Right. And so What we did with the FHA rule that you're alluding to is we removed the non-permanent residence category, which was used by the Biden administration. And this allowed illegal aliens to use federal taxpayer resources to purchase a home. And so we removed that category out of the FHA mortgage-backed HUD-funded money because this was allowed.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
And that's how illegal aliens were able to secure mortgages. But that will no longer be the case going forward.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
You know, I don't know yet, but hopefully we can get back to you. There's about 750,000 borrowers in fiscal year 24 that had FHA mortgages. And we want to make sure that all of these are American citizens.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
Well, yes. And like I say, you know, we're creating those dashboards right now and working within HUD and other agencies across the federal government so that we can ensure that the data that we have is accurate. It has been a problem in the years previous to us coming, but it's also been allowed for people not to say whether or not they're legal or not.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
And so we do have measures in place going forward to make sure that people are legal. But again, as I said before, we are laser focused on making sure that we have the proper data for people that are living in HUD-funded housing and receiving FHA mortgages.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
Yeah, you know, we at HUD, we have a DOGE task force, and we have a great partnership with DOGE as it pertains to the technology, as it pertains to the data sourcing and resourcing. So yes, this will be something that we can work together with our DOGE team, who actually is a team inside of HUD, to make sure that we have the proper data going forward.

HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
Well, I would just say for your listeners that they can be confident in knowing that we are putting American citizens first and we're putting our country first from the president's leadership with the Liberation Day, with the tariffs, with making housing affordability better, with making the cost of living come down with his executive orders.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
We are laser focused and very deliberate about the resources, taxpayer dollars that we have at HUD. And I know across the federal government, to make sure that we're being good stewards of American taxpayer dollars.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
And so for those that are listening, I would say rest assured, be confident in knowing that even through this time of transition, this time of change, it is for the posterity of our nation, it's for the benefit of our nation, not just now, but for generations to come. And so stick with us, stay faithful to it, and understand that through this process that the American people are top of mind.

Thank you, Tim. It's great to be with you. You know, President Trump, he campaigned on tariffs. He talks about tariffs every day. And so those that are surprised by this decision haven't really been paying attention in our country. President Trump is an American first president. He's an America first leader. And so he cares about American people. He cares about trade in our country.
Morning Wire
HUD Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens in Public Housing | 4.5.25
And on a global stage, he just wants, and we all want, Fair trade. 77 million people voted for President Trump, and they know that this change was coming. And so right now, you know, it's hard. We're in an economic transition in our country. There's discomfort. But, Tim, discomfort brings growth. And I think that's what's going on in our country right now.
