I rent half of a duplex in the USA and my landlord has made it abundantly clear he prefers my Iraqi immigrant neighbors to me. They are degrading the property by throwing trash onto the ground, cramming eight to ten people into a house meant for four, etc, but their rent is guaranteed by a combination of a private charity and government aid. What's more, the charity and the government (using my taxes) are paying above market rates for the property. My landlord is actively seeking more immigrant tenants and when he finds them, I'm out the door. The other side of the duplex will come available soon, anyway, since the same combination of private charity and government grants of taxpayer funds is giving a newly renovated house, free and clear, to this immigrant family. I've paid tax for 45 years and served honorably in the US Air Force. Where's my free house? They are even having moving expenses paid, so they're not a penny out of pocket.
It took me four months to find this place. My neighbors were settled here by the charity organization and never had a single hour of stressful house-hunting. I've been searching for a house to buy for two years now, but always get outbid by investors who want to turn them into rentals. My neighbors got a nice house without lifting a finger. I did everything I was supposed to do all my life and this is my reward: unwanted and dispossessed in my own country. I'm trying not to be angry and bitter about it, but it's sometimes hard not to.
