The Department of Housing and Urban Development acknowledged that a Trump administration plan to purge undocumented immigrants from public housing could displace more than 55,000 children who are all legal U.S. residents or citizens.

The proposed rule, published Friday in the Federal Register, would tighten regulations against undocumented immigrants accessing federally subsidized housing to "make certain our scarce public resources help those who are legally entitled to it," HUD Secretary Ben Carson said last month.

But the agency's analysis of the rule's regulatory impact concluded that half of current residents living in households potentially facing eviction and homelessness are children who are legally qualified for aid.

6. Be sure to include both the title and the docket number

– otherwise they'll ignore your comment.

Housing and Community Development Act of 1980: Verification of Eligible Status (Docket No. FR-6124-P-01)

Grr. These are stupid and evil people.

It will traumatize the children and lead to worse outcomes for their lives…disrupt their educations and the support systems they and their families have built up over time: friends, neighbors, churches…push the families further into poverty. …likely to lead to homelessness, worse educational outcomes, increased depression, substance abuse, higher rates of suicide, and lower productivity over the course of their lives.

Thanks for the heads up mahatmakanejeeves.
