This makes me angry. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Untold thousands of illegal immigrants live in public housing at a time when hundreds of thousands of citizens and legal residents are stuck waiting years for a spot. The issue made headlines in November with news that Zeituni Onyango, an aunt of President-elect Barack Obama, was living in Boston public housing while in the country illegally. The federal government, which funds the lion's share of the nation's public housing, requires only that illegal immigrants share a home with at least one family member who is in the country legally and pay their share of the rent. While there are no hard numbers on illegal immigrants in public housing, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reports that 29,570 people are "ineligible noncitizens." New York City has about 260,000 people in line for housing aid. Chicago recently opened its waiting list for the first time in about 10 years and collected 259,000 names in four weeks for 40,000 slots. "As long as that waiting list includes American citizens or legal immigrants, there's no reason an illegal alien should occupy any of that housing," news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090101/ap_on_re_us/public_housing_immigrants

Another thing that makes me mad is that the US Army has a brigade patrolling America: www.armytimes.com/news/2008/09/army_homeland_090708w/Yet we can't get decent military enforcement of our borders. Maybe our public housing needs more illegal tenants???

Does not sound good. First, make the people credit slaves. Next, bring in the military to enforce the rule of the corporate rich. When the people wake-up to their wages taken away and replaced with credit, minimum wage, and government handouts in order to survive, Fascism will be ready. Hopefully a nightmare, a bad dream, a condition, we will never see. I guess it depends on how bad the Bush Depression gets.
