If the majority insists on going down this path. the least we can do is to give those who have served our Nation the highest priority in receiving housing assistance under this legislation. and to make sure that those who have preyed upon our society as criminals are not helped by the legislation. In its present form. the bill allows homes acquired and rehabilitated with taxpayer money to be purchased by convicted drug dealers. convicted sex offenders. and people who have been convicted of mortgage fraud. Last night our colleague. Mr. ALTMIRE. offered an amendment that prohibits homes made available for sale under this bill. acquired and rehabilitated with taxpayer dollars. from being sold to illegal immigrants. That was a good amendment and I am glad to see that the House just now overwhelmingly adopted it. In advocating for his amendment.
