Are you willing to rent out a room in your home to an illegal alien if the gov pays the rent?

What could go wrong?

    It is your mayor proposing it. And he did not limit to apartments  he said spare rooms. This post was edited by my2cents at June 7, 2023 10:41 AM MDT

    What’s your solution? Just let them live in the streets, parks, and subway tunnels?

    Her solution would be to build a 50' wall along the entire Mexican and Canadian borders and keep them out altogether.

    This might be a topic for another post, but I don’t know how anyone can be in favor of keeping foreigners out of the US after our immigration policies in the 1930s and 1940s led to the death of hundreds of thousands of people in the Holocaust.

    I can’t help but wonder how many might have been saved had FDR not been an antisemite.

    We are certainly in agreement here.

    Secure the boarder and deport people when caught.

    People renting rooms are BOARDERS. Boundaries separating nations are BORDERS.

    And you don’t care if turning away or deporting people condemns them to starvation or death? It has happened, as I stated elsewhere.

    How can you be so callous? This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at June 8, 2023 11:51 AM MDT

    Then I assume you will be letting Mayor Adams know all you available rooms are available....

    There is nothing wrong with expecting people who want/need to immigrate to another country to do it legally. There are programs for those who need help with the process.  And if needed they should use those.  But no one should be rewarded for illegally entering and staying in another country.  All countries have border for good reasons.

    So you would just slaughter them? Hitler once tried that sort of thing.

    I might consider it if (1) I had an extra room and (2) if that illegal alien was ET.

    Yeah but if it was ET he would run up your phone bill calling home. Cheers!

    You said you have no room and if you did it would only be available to ET.....none of the illegal aliens are ETs.   So that sounds like no to me.

    It is unfortunate that you cannot grasp a joke. This post was edited by Spunky at June 9, 2023 8:38 AM MDT

    Hello my:

    If my business was to rent rooms, I would NOT discriminate. I just wouldn't.. To me, they're customers.   If you can see these people as less than you, you can see ANYBODY as less than you...  I'm just NOT built that way, and if I was, I surly wouldn't admit it in public.  Shame on you.

    Most of the time, but not always.

    It is always illegal. That doesn’t mean it never happens.

    No, in some states to rent to an illegal alien is illegal.

    Which thus means housing discrimination is legal.

    No more discrimatory than requiring a background check or good credit is.
