The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has canceled certain mortgages for illegal immigrants in an effort to ensure that federal home loans are not going to illegal residents of the U.S.

Housing Secretary Scott Turner announced the move on Wednesday after information surfaced about a collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security regarding creating homes for Americans.

'Today, HUD canceled mortgages held by illegal immigrants sponsored by the Biden administration,' Turner wrote. 'American taxpayers will no longer finance open borders by offering mortgages to those who cross the border illegally.'

In another post, Turner stated that HUD's public housing loans should assist Americans 'who play by the rules and work hard, not those who enter our country illegally.'

'Today, HUD is acting to protect the American dream of homeownership,' he wrote.

On Monday, Turner and Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Nielsen signed a memorandum to end the 'wasteful use' of public housing resources going to illegal immigrants instead of U.S. citizens.

With newly established communication channels between the two agencies, the initiative will help share data. The press release notes that U.S. veterans will be able to benefit from this step.

'American taxes should be used for the benefit of U.S. citizens, especially when it comes to a pressing issue like the housing crisis in our country,' Turner said on Monday. 'This new agreement will utilize resources, including technology and personnel, to ensure that American citizens have a singular priority when it comes to public housing.'

'We will continue to work closely with the HUD to maximize the use of our resources and put American citizens first.'

According to HUD, about 9 million people live in subsidized housing nationwide. According to The Center for Immigration Studies, a group advocating for reduced immigration, about 59% of households with non-citizens, which include both legal residents and illegal immigrants, are using one of the welfare programs that costs taxpayers up to $42 billion annually.

After taking office, President Donald Trump called for increased oversight to prevent illegal immigrants from accessing taxpayer-funded resources.

During the Biden administration, tens of millions of dollars have been spent on housing for migrants, including fully paid accommodations in hotels.
