Alabama Sens. Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville clashed over the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act: Britt defended the measure, while Tuberville opposed it and claimed it would benefit people in the country illegally. The bill passed both chambers by wide margins and was sent to President Donald Trump.
Tommy Tuberville said the housing bill would route money through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, add to the national debt and benefit people living in the country illegally. He argued that lowering interest rates would be a better way to address housing affordability. The article describes his claim about illegal immigrants as false.
Katie Britt rejected Tuberville’s characterization, saying the bill provides no money for illegal immigrants and keeps them ineligible for HUD housing assistance. She said it would help disabled veterans, rural families and people moving from government dependence to economic independence. The bill passed the Senate 85-5 on Monday and the House 358-32 on Tuesday. Trump canceled a signing ceremony and said he would wait for Congress to pass the SAVE America Act.
