Activists for illegal aliens in L.A. are now demanding that apartment landlords should give free rent to the illegals they are renting apartments to because the migrants have “trauma” over fear of being deported.
First of all, if you are a landlord renting to an illegal, I already don’t have much sympathy for you. However, you still deserve your rent money from any tenant.
But activists are now trying to force landlords to eat the cost of renting to an illegal. Why? Because many of them are staying home from work because they are afraid of being grabbed up in an ICE raid and then deported. So, that means they aren’t making money and are skipping rent payments.
Per The Blaze:
Several unions are calling on the Los Angeles City Council to vote for a rent moratorium on the basis that deportation operations have severely shut down business activity.
The community groups say that businesses have been crippled by the loss of workers as well as consumers who are fearing detainment from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
On Tuesday, representatives of the Los Angeles Tenants Union held a press conference with the Coalition of Labor Union Employees and the SEIU to demand the rent moratorium.
“We know that many tenants will not be able to pay their rent come July 1,” said Kenia Alcocer of LATU, who said she is also an illegal alien.
Again, though, these landlords have been part of the problem in the first place because they have been renting to illegals at all. They should never have been doing that from the beginning.
Instead of getting free rent, these illegals should be evicted. And let’s hope many of these illegals are set out on the street to help give them the imputes to self-deport back to where they belong.
