Who Does our Tax Money Support
Once again I ask who gets the benefits of our hard earned tax dollar. Is it the hard working LEGAL CITIZENS, who put in 80 plus hours a week in order to support their family and spouse who adds an additional 30 hours aweek in order to get health care? Is it those who hold that second job in order to make the dream of owning a home more plausible? Obviously not them. Check out this story.
Illegal immigrants get home loans, low interest even

From this:
Tuesday night [5/17/05], in a vote of 15-4, a majority of the Madison Common Council signed off on a resolution allowing undocumented workers to apply for low-interest housing loans through the city Community Development Block Grant programs...
These "undocumented workers" need to have an ITIN ("Individual Taxpayer Identification Number"), which is similar to a Social Security number. SSNs are, of course, not available to illegal aliens, but ITINs are.
Note that this isn't just an isolated case of a "liberal" city deciding to support illegal immigration. As with other issues related to illegal immigration, it gets worse the more you look into it.
The quasi-governmental Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority already guarantees home loans to illegal immigrants. Here's a quote from their director, Antonio Riley:
"We don't see what can be so controversial about helping people realize the dream of homeownership."
Thankfully, WI Sen. Glenn Grothman has introduced legislation that would put an end to Madison's loan program as well as WHEDA guaranteeing such loans:
[Grothman] says the idea is "almost comical". He says it's absurd to offer assistance to people who are in the country illegally. "What type of message are we sending to people?" He says. "We're telling the border guards we don't appreciate their job. We're telling the people that inspect local business that we don't care what they do. We're telling anybody who is waiting to get into this country legally that they're a bunch of suckers for trying to obey the law. It's absolutely comical."
Now, here's where the story gets even worse. Not only are Madison, the WHEDA, and several banks involved, but so is the (U.S.) federal government. And, they're working with the Mexican government to get loans to illegal aliens.
The FDIC is "independent agency of the federal government", and last year they continued a pilot program they started in 2003:
...Under this pilot program, which is located in Chicago, the FDIC, the Mexican Consulate, more than 63 banks, credit unions, community organizations and government agencies have come together to form this New Alliance Task Force... One of its efforts is reaching out to persons who send money in the form of remittances to other countries...
Bankers who comprise the Task Force also developed a new mortgage product intended for use by potential homeowners who pay taxes using Individual Tax Identification Numbers...
When asked about the propriety of the FDIC helping banks give loans to illegal aliens, an FDIC spokesman replied:
"A home might be the ultimate dream, as with any other family. The important thing is that they have access. There might be some criticism, but immigration issues are not our purview."
For more information, see:Who is the FDIC? And, why are they working with a foreign government to subvert our laws?"Tax-number loans help immigrants buy homes" (lists a few banks that give ITIN loans, there are 10 more listed here.)
Man I sure wish I didn't have to work a second job. Hell I wish I owned my own home and wasn't an apartment renter . But I got to keep paying those taxes so that all THESE ILLEGALS CAN BENIFIT FROM MY HARD WORK. I am glad to know someones dreams may come true.
