Once again Democrats are going out of their way to give aid and comfort to illegal aliens. The Los Angeles (L.A.) County Board of Supervisors have voted to declare a state of emergency in order to give financial assistance to residents who lived with illegals who have been deported, reports the AP.
The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on illegal alien invaders. Some people are against this emergency declaration if it will lead to an eviction moratorium.
Daniel Yukelson, CEO of the Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles says that landlords are still trying to catch up the loss of money during Covid because of uncollected rent and eviction bans. He also says, while they are sympathetic, the association is unaware of there being any inability to pay rent because of immigration enforcement.
Neil Mammen lived in California for almost four decades and is author of "Jesus is Involved in Politics."
"It’s just the City Council posturing, saying ‘Hey, because all these people are now not able to work, we're going to give you rent relief as though this is some emergency like the wildfire emergency’," says Mammen.
Mammen says this is really a bad idea that will, basically, bankrupt the city a bit more.
"You know that they're not in good shape; they also have to live by a budget,” says Mammen. “So basically, what's going to happen is that this money is going to be paid by everybody. They're just going to have to raise taxes. It's a very silly idea because why should the rest of L.A. suffer because of illegal immigration?"
