Do you have a source that shows that the bulk of 'bad' loans went to legal hispanic aliens and for the bulk of defaults are from blacks?
I'm not challenging you, just asking for the details.
The information I've found shows that the number black homeowners were only slightly above hispanics, (49.4% for blacks and 49.8% for hispanic, legal and illegal) and that the level of homeownership of legal hispanics vs. illegals is about 8.9% higher. (71.5% for legals and 53.3% for illegals)
In the foreclosure data, there is no information about the race, ethnicity or nativity. But using correlations of foreclosure rates and immigrant share of the county population, the foreclosure rate for immigrant Latinos is higher than average. It's possible that the presence of immigrants in representative counties skews the data.
Like I say, race, ethnicity and nativity is not present in the national foreclosure data. But by population, hispanic communities have higher rates of foreclosures than non-hispanic communities.

But the impetus of the enforcement of the CRA was not to help illegal aliens. Most of it was generated by people who wanted low income blacks to get easier loans. These people believed blacks were being discriminated against. Why lending institutions would turn down good loans to eligible people of any color was not explained. In short...they wouldn't.
It's just the black Americans were easily the biggest lending risks. And since blacks default at a much higher rate than other groups, I have to believe blacks with subprime loans were probably the biggest culprits.
