Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) has introduced the “KAMALA Act,” a bill designed to prevent federal funds from being used to support housing assistance programs for illegal migrants. Officially named the “Keeping Aid for Municipalities and Localities Accountable Act,” the legislation comes in response to efforts by states like California to provide loan assistance to non-citizens.
In a recent interview on Just the News, No Noise, Biggs criticized the California legislature for proposing a bill that would have provided $150,000 in upfront money to illegal migrants for home purchases. “This was just such a slap in the face to hard-working Americans,” Biggs said, explaining that the influx of illegal migrants has worsened the housing shortage in the U.S.
The KAMALA Act aims to prevent federal taxpayer dollars from being used by states and localities that offer housing loans or other assistance to illegal migrants. Biggs argued that American citizens should be the priority when it comes to housing assistance, particularly in light of the current housing crisis.
With support from several co-sponsors, Biggs is hopeful that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will help move the bill forward in Congress. The KAMALA Act represents a broader push by Republicans to limit the financial burden illegal immigration places on U.S. taxpayers.
As the 2024 election season approaches, immigration and housing affordability are likely to remain central issues. The KAMALA Act is expected to draw attention from lawmakers and voters concerned about the economic impact of illegal immigration and the allocation of taxpayer dollars.
