I contacted the housing authorities of Tempe. Yuma. Tucson. and Maricopa County. Not one of the housing authorities disagreed with my proposal. They all said that once an applicant or resident checks on an affidavit that he/ she is a legal citizen. they are not allowed to pursue the issue. The housing authorities currently only ask for verification of immigration status if the applicant checks that he/she is an immigrant. This amendment will curb the amount of housing assistancepaid for by taxpayersgoing to illegal immigrants. It will return housing opportunities to the people who are here legally. I thank my colleagues for supporting this amendment.
