This is a consequence of a lot of people wanting immigrants but not wanting to pass the laws that would allow the number they want. Instead they try to bend the law (see asylum rules under Biden) or ignore it.
Personally I'd like to see more immigrants brought into the United States. Taking people from the rest of the world and turning them into Americans is a core competence of the country. That said the way it's being done is totally nutty.

I'd understand carve outs for foreign workers, etc...but if you're a foreign WORKer, you'd hope that the work could pay for housing?
Social housing is typically a safety net for those fallen on hard times, or people with various handicaps and unable to work?
