Biggs Introduces Bill Denying Government Funds to Illegal Alien Housing

Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) has recently introduced a bill denying federal funds to state-level initiatives designed to give illegal aliens housing assistance.

Rep. Biggs's bill, cynically named the Keeping Aid for Municipalities and Localities Accountable (KAMALA) Act, is urgently needed due to its two major provisions.

The first adds language to the existing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) system to clarify that its benefits apply solely to American citizens and not illegal aliens, be they paroled or granted asylum.

The second similarly prohibits the Federal government's Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Department from allocating these CDBG funds to states that offer housing assistance to noncitizens.

Rep. Biggs's bill seemed to be inspired by a recent state-level bill, Assembly Bill 1840, which passed the California Legislature and would have offered up to $150,000 in down payment assistance to illegal aliens and other noncitizens in the Golden State.

However, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) ultimately vetoed the bill, which he blamed for the lack of funds necessary to implement it. The Arizona Congressman took this to mean that Gov. Newsom ignored the incentivization of illegal immigration and the resulting spike in housing that Assembly Bill 1840 would have produced if it had been passed into law.

"Americans are outraged at the Biden-Harris Administration's refusal to put the needs of citizens over the comfort of illegal aliens. Democrats across the country are coddling illegal aliens, providing them with housing assistance while hundreds of thousands of Americans live on the streets. Congress must step in and use the power of the purse to ensure that taxpayers aren't subsidizing these foolish priorities," Biggs said in his press release.

In late August, Biggs similarly accused the Biden-Harris Administration of favoring illegal aliens over American citizens after two Jordanian nationals who attempted to breach the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia, were released on bond and told to reappear in court on a later date.

"It is clear now that this administration values the desires of illegal aliens—including those who intend to commit acts of terror—over the safety of American citizens. Not only does this administration allow suspected terrorists to cross the southwest border and parole them into the country, but even when those same individuals engage in potential terrorist activity, this administration continues to release them into the country based simply on promises to reappear at court hearings," Biggs fumed.
