'Why don't They Do Their Jobs?' — Ben Carson Reacts After Democratic Lawmaker Suggested He Should Break Immigration Law

HUD Secretary Ben Carson reacted to Democratic New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney’s insinuation that he should break immigration law by providing housing assistance to illegal immigrants.

Carson made his comments during a Tuesday night appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Earlier that day, the HUD secretary was criticized by Democrats, including Maloney, for a White House proposal that would exclude all illegal immigrants from public housing, even those who currently live with a U.S. citizen.

“As you well know, Congresswoman Maloney called your proposal, quote, ‘despicable,’ but it’s my understanding that it’s illegal for illegal aliens to be living in public housing in the first place, is it not?” Carlson asked.
