  And our current administrations answer is to bring in upwards of 100,000 refugees, in direct competition for the limited housing available, not to mention jobs, and then move them all to the head of the line in both funding and access. 

  Poor American citizens have always been pawns to be trotted out in times of need, and then conveniently ignored when their usefulness has passed. Both major parties use them, and both have abused them for political gain, and because of the nature of the average politician, they just can't seem to help themselves.
