FULL: HUD Secretary Scott Turner links surge in illegal immigration to rising housing costs

Published | Video Starts at 08:15

We eliminated FHA backed mortgages to illegal aliens so that those mortgages go to American citizens and American citizens only. We put out a mandate to all public housing authorities across our country that they give us a comprehensive account of every person living inside of section 8 or HUD funded housing to make sure that they are American citizens. Why do I say this? Because those reforms are not needed if there wasn't such a surge and a big problem with illegal immigration in our country. (08:15–08:30)
