Well OBVIOUSLY hes using it to fend off the hordes of FR conservatives that vowed to hold his feet to the fire and now have an excuse as to why they tried but could not.

But their happy thoughts are what counts.

Illegals prey on other Illegals the way Blacks in Chicago prey on other Blacks.

So when you have controlled, legal, immigration - say the handful of Japanese that move here each year, are we IGNORING their past lives, crimes, etc.? Are those Japanese coming here subject to being raped repeatedly by human traffickers?

I think that we know the answer...the answer is that if you get to pick-and-choose who comes here, you can get a really good, productive, bunch. But if you just open the floodgates...you get whatever. That is Trump’s problem with Open Borders - we deserve better than ‘whatever’.

Yes the dregs of society ie mestizo Mexicans and central americans are being wholesale exported so their countries don’t have to deal with them.

If the upper crust ie doctors, lawyers and Engineers were coming nobody would have a problem with it because they don’t commit crimes, and they are productive citizens wherever they go. They don’t need welfare and they don’t block vote Democrat.

No country can absorb the entire underclass of an entire continent.

Not to mention numerous scams: Voter fraud. Medicaid fraud. EITC refund frauds, among them.

Florida is the epicenter of latino mortgage fraud and Medicare fraud.

One Floridian was able to pull off eye-popping financial scams mainly by lying about her marital status, bank accounts, and false claims business ownership....using the usual illegal ploys of multiple identities, stolen SS nos, and falsifying official US documents (a felony)

No figures yet on how much she ripped off taxpayers in EITC refunds.

SOURCE--justice.gov: From at least Dec-2003 to Jan-2013, Lopez/Clas used the SSN for “Nereida Valle” to obtain almost $500,000 in federal housing, social security, food, cash, and medical benefits from HUD, SSA, USDA and HHS.

At the same time, she used the SSN for “Gloria Lopes Clas” to obtain mortgage loans and buy real estate in both Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

At various times, her husband, Gonzalez, assisted her in obtaining housing benefits.

As “Gloria Clas,” she sold two Broward properties for a profit of over $200,000. She also purchased over an acre of property in Loxahatchee on which she built an approximately 2,700 square foot residence.

After the residence was built, she received a $200,000 HELOC collateralized by the property, but defaulted on it owing over $150,000.

Valle-Clas, who formally changed her name from “Nereida Valle” to “Gloria Nereida Valle-Clas” in 2003, used approximately 12 aliases in perpetrating the scheme, most of which were variations on “Nereida Valle” and “Gloria Lopes Clas.”

FLORIDA TOPS MORTGAGE FRAUD LIST Florida Broker Sentenced to 42 Months for Mortgage Fraud Scheme----October 17, 2012

(Source: FBI) - Juan Carlos Rodriguez, 52, a real estate agent and mortgage broker from Weston, Florida, was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge Kenneth A. Marra for his participation in a mortgage fraud scheme relating to properties in the Versailles development in Wellington, Florida.

Rodriguez pled guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, and financial institution fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1349, and conspiracy to commit money laundering, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1956(h).

Over the last five years, more than 30 defendants have been prosecuted for mortgage fraud schemes in the Versailles neighborhood. Most recently, in addition to Rodriguez, eight other individuals have pled guilty and been sentenced in four related mortgage fraud schemes that were centered in Versailles:

According to court documents, the defendants used “straw buyers” to submit false documentation to various mortgage lenders substantially inflating the purchase price of the properties.

As part of the conspiracy, duplicate HUD-1 Settlement Statements were prepared. One set, listing the real price, was provided to the seller; another set, with the inflated price, was provided to the lender.

The fraudulent loan proceeds were then laundered through multiple accounts to conceal the source and distribution of the money and were ultimately used for the benefit of the defendants and their co-conspirators.

Investigative efforts of the FBI, coordinated with IRS-CID, U.S. Secret Service, Florida’s Department of Financial Services and Office of Financial Regulation, FDLE, and the Palm Beach County Mortgage Fraud Task Force.

EXCERPT More at website of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida at www.usdoj.gov/usao/fls.

US Dept of the Treasury Says Illegal Aliens Collecting Billions in Tax Credits According to the US Dept of Treasury’s Inspector General, more than $4.2 billion in additional child credits were paid out in 2010 to illegal immigrants. In 2005, the payouts totaled $924 million.

This program allows low income earners to claim a $1,000 per child credit. $20 billion EITC is estimated to have been paid out to these cunning "impoverished" illegals.

Most of them are collecting over and over again-----using multiple identities---falsifying official apps---claiming children they do not have and/or falsely stating kids are back in their homelands. The IRS sent $45 Million (32,000 EITC refunds) to illegals at ONE address.

REFERENCE March 8, 2012 KENNER, La. -- Kenner police arrested illegal Marvin Baca who sold false W-2 forms to another illegal immigrant for $1,500. Baca sold fraudulent W-2 forms for $1,500 to other Hispanics here illegally.

Police said that on one of the forged W-2 forms had a SS no of a person living in Virginia. Police said illegal Hispanics purchase fictitious W-2 forms and file false tax returns with the government to receive EITC refunds. Baca was charged with one count of ID theft and two counts of forgery.

BILLION DOLLAR SUB-PRIME FRAUD ON CAPITOL HILLThe Congressional Hispanic Institute, Inc, is an entity organized by then-Cong Joe Baca (D-Cali) in his capacity as then-head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Then-Cong Baca created "HOGAR" (Spanish for home) in 2003 to work with the mortgage industry, lender and banks and latino community groups to increase mortgage lending to what savvy observers considered to be unqualified Latinos.

"HOGAR" colluded w/ Cong Baca in what was to become a massive bilking of taxpayers. Cong Baca calculatedly hyped the fact that the national Latino homeownership rate was 47%, compared with 68% for the overall population.

HOGAR was coached to call the figure "alarming," and to say "a concerted effort was required to ensure that by the end of the decade Latinos will share equally in the American Dream of home ownership."

HOGAR and Cong Baca conned the public, failing to note that most of the "dreamers" were illegals, citizens of Third World countries who had violated US borders.

Predictably, HOGAR colluded w/ co-conspirators which included:

(a) shaky mortgage companies that ran into big trouble;

(b) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both now under federal control after billions in taxpayer bailouts;

(c) Countrywide Financial Corp., sold to Bank of America Corp;

(d) Washington Mutual Inc., taken over by the US government and sold to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.; and,

(e) New Century Financial Corp. and Ameriquest Mortgage Corp, both now defunct, killed by defaulted subprime Latino mortgages.

HOGAR's ties to the subprime mortgage industry were substantial. Bribery and self-dealing were rampant:

<><> Companies that donated $150,000 to Cong Baca got the right to have their own research fellow who would conduct fraudulent studies, which were cunningly used by industry lobbyists to pump lending.

<><> Bribery and extortion in the form of $100,000 annual donations to Cong Baca, for which HOGAR provided phony news releases from Cong Baca's Hispanic Caucus promoting a lender's commercial products to the Latino market,

<><> The most shocking example of bribery well-substantitated by Hogar's literature..... HOGAR announced it worked with Freddie Mac on a self-serving two-year examination of Latino homeownership in 63 congressional districts.

The "study" found Hispanic ownership on the rise thanks to "new flexible mortgage loan products" that the industry was adopting at the urging of Cong Baca's collusive coterie.

<><> HOGAR conned lenders into even more lenient down-payment and underwriting standards.

<><> As the subprime debacle unfolded, HOGAR declined repeated requests for comment despite the economic havoc their activities precipitated.

The mortgage schemes demonstrated the criminal activities of border violators with multiple identities---perhaps violent, terrorist-connected foreigners---colluding and conspiring to defraud private companies and public entities. And mortgage racketeering enterprises which employed sub rosa finance and business practices to carry out deceptions and frauds.

The alleged ring of swindlers---a Congresman, individuals with multiple identities, banks, insurance companies, mortgage nrokers--might be charged with cheating the US govt, taxpayers and bank share holders out of hundreds of millions of dollars via an elaborate web of mortgage and bank frauds.

The mortgage Dreamers used multiple phony identities, fraudulent Social Security numbers, purchased from identity forgers in order to obtain govt-subsidized benefits.

L/E will find that individuals with multiple identities obtained fraudulent mortgages then flipped the houses at ever-higher prices to family member who then absconded to foreign countries, sticking banks (and taxpayers) with hundreds of millions in fraudulent mortgages.

BACKGROUND A Wall Street Journal investigative report related that, according to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council examination of the borrowing spree, uncovered financial schemes by low-income housing groups, Hispanic lawmakers, a congressional Hispanic housing initiative, mortgage lenders and brokers, all colluding in fraduent schemes to increase homeownership among Latinos with forged documents which enabled massive fraud.

This was not simply the mortgage market at work. It was fueled by avarice, greed, and Congressional enabling fraudulent practices. In 2005 alone, mortgages to Hispanics jumped by 29%; Latinos with multiple fraudulent identities in low-paying jobs obtained subprime mortgages for prime properties---soaring to 169%.

(Research provided by Wall Street Journal. Some material excerpted from the NY Times.

================================================

The separatist blood-thirsty "La Raza" was given tax dollars and Congressional earmarks to finance its so-called mortgage activities. La Raza's "strategic partnerships” with Wachovia and Bank of America caused taxpayers billions in bailouts and decimated the US economy.

La Raza aided and abetted risky federal and private-home loans to latinos over the last decade. thanks to the lending industry’s version of “don’t ask, don’t tell.” In addition to millions of federal tax dollars, La Raza also collected a $1 million Democratic earmark that funded “community-development” projects. Analysts report that much of it went to "mortgage counseling."

CIRCA 2005---NJ BERGEN RECORD---Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity (many latinos establish multiple identities in order to ride the US gravy train).

The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses----for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said NJ state police.

The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot.

The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. After a search, police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards. ####

Georgia Girl is right. The Euro-Spanish Mexicans are getting rid of the Native Mexicans. This is simply a more humane version of what happened in Rwanda.

I remember citing that story years ago, and I cite it in this thread. Do you know what kills me about it? The AZ Dept. of Corrections link in the story is broken. If I recall the AZ Dept. of Corrections data correctly, 15% of the people in AZ prisons for sexual assault were illegals, who only made up 7% of the population. Someone needs to get the original data from Arizona.

One hundred percent of illegals are criminals - by definition. In addition, they are disproportionately likely to commit other crimes.

The problem I have with Chapman’s article is he does not even bother to check the crime statistics in illegal immigrant heavy states (e.g California ).

The 2010 census shows Hispanics are 37.6% of California residents. California prison stats for 2010 show Hispanics are 39.8% of the prison population. Conclusion: Hispanics are slightly more likely to commit felonies than their population would suggest. Of course the stats do not tell us how many of these crimes are committed by illegals.

But then, even if we were to assume that most of these crimes were committed by LEGAL immigrants, that makes the situation worse. It would mean that we are making LEGAL a huge number of people who are NOT desirable citizens.

Blacks are much worse: they are only 6.2% of the CA population, but 28.9% of the CA prison population. Whites are 57.6% of the population, but only 25.2% of prison inmates.

But this just shows that Chapman’s claim that increased immigration resulted in lower crime rates is obvious nonsense.

The reduction in crime rates during the last 20 years is much more likely due to the end of the crack epidemic of the 1980’s and the increase in criminal penalties (e.g., the Three Strikes Law) in the 1990’s.

Chapman badly wants to make the decrease in crime rate correlate with INCREASE Hispanic immigration. He has ways to go to prove his point. The statistics in fact show the OPPOSITE — Most crimes in California are committed by HISPANICS.
