Why are illegal migrants still allowed to live in public housing?

Why are illegal migrants still allowed to live in public housing?

The Trump administration has stanched the flow of illegal immigrants by reversing Biden-era asylum policy and dispatching ICE agents to sanctuary cities. But the White House has yet to roll back one notable Biden rule that drew little attention: permitting undocumented migrants and other noncitizens to live for an unlimited period in public housing.
 
Across the US, there are long — extremely long — waiting lists for public housing apartments and the housing vouchers that pay for rent in privately owned apartments.

In New York City alone, there are 227,000 on the wait list for public housing apartments, and 200,000 waiting for vacancies in the city’s 112,000 housing voucher (a .k. a Section 8) apartments.
 
The city is hardly an exception: in Baltimore, there are 64,000 on the combined waiting lists; in Boston, 42,000; in Milwaukee, 47,000.

This is why many on those lists might be surprised to learn that, under rules set by the Biden administration, they are competing for homes not only with their fellow low-income citizens — but with noncitizens and even undocumented migrants.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

What about welfare?  Based on what I read, 73% of those that Biden let into the country were on welfare.  Just end it, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Without a source of funds, with the offer to return if they leave on their own effort, I can see many leaving.

I think Trump should end the cell phone nonsense, welfare, housing, and healthcare, or at least healthcare as it is being used.  These illegals go to emergency rooms at hospitals, which is one of the most expensive services in health care.  End that right now.

jafo expounds:
"These illegals go to emergency rooms at hospitals, which is one of the most expensive services in health care.  End that right now."

Seems to me there was a Supreme Court decision about this a number of years ago, and the Court opined that illegals could not be turned away from emergency care at hospitals. (I could be wrong)

Hospitals are going to have to come up with a way to segregate "true" emergency and "non-emergency" cases from one another, to reduce the patient load.

I'm thinking that [nearly] every hospital should have nearby some kind of "urgent care center" -- NOT "emergency" -- to which the non-emergency patients could be triaged off and sent to, for treatment at a lower overall cost (which someone else will have to pay, in any case)...
