HOME LOANS TO ILLEGAL ALIENS

By Bryan Preston

Moira Breen sent me this link today (see below)--it's just infuriating. Banks have begun issuing home loans to illegal aliens based on their Individual Tax Identification Numbers, since they don't have SSNs. The result of this is, naturally, encouraging more people to come here illegally.

That's infuriating in and of itself, but the tone of the story struck me as dishonest. The illegal alien interviewed mentions that he has four children, three of whom were born in the US--the story never touches on the fact that those three kids are automatically US citizens. The illegals are consistently referred to as "undocumented workers," which makes them sound like they forgot to fill out proper job applications when what they actually did was line-jump a very long process while failing to pay the fees associated with legal immigration. And they broke the law and continue to live outside the law every day they remain outside the legal immigration system.

And then there's the FDIC's role in encouraging banks to loan money to "unbanked immigrants." We have a section of the government encouraging an industry to serve a population defined by its systematic breaking of US law. In. Sane.
