I just *love* this line: "We're not required to ask the immigration status of any of our customers. That is the responsibility of the federal government," Wells Fargo bank representative Jerry Ruiz said.

I just completed filling out paperwork to transfer my checking account over there. UH NO. They lose. They no get my moolah!

Just what happens when our undocumented friends end up underwater on their mortgage and flee back to buena Mexico? I'm betting Wells Fargo won't be stuck with the tab.

Welll... I doubt they'll be doing much bussiness. Ya think illegals send in their tax returns and have a valid IRS tax number !?

I think their shameless promotion of this program is truly shocking. It just shows how above ground and flagrant this illegal immigrant problem has gotten. All law-abiding Americans should close their Wells Fargo accounts.

Since when has the American dream defined as owning a home, it use to be to become vastly wealthy? Oh, thats right the rich are now evil. Lowering ever standard possible is the dems play book. I guess in 25 years owning your own mobile home will be the American dream.

When these illegal aliens welch on their loans, you and I will be paying them off, no matter where we live or what we do. That is called George Bush's redistribution of the wealth.

The banks love illegals and the politicians who support their interests in keeping the border open.

That's why this is such a hard fight. Look who we're up against.

I was wondering when (or if) this story would get some national attention. Prior to today, this was the only story I had seen reported.

Wells Fargo Offers Home Loans To Illegal Immigrants
KFMB News San Diego
Last Updated: 01-19-06 at 8:03AM

Wells Fargo Bank has raised some eyebrows for a new program that gives home loans to illegal immigrants.

The bank's Celebrate Home program is aimed at what it says is an untapped market in real estate.

Wells Fargo said the program meets all federal guidelines.

Critics said banks should not reward people who have broken the law by coming to the U.S. illegally.

Five years ago, Wells Fargo began allowing customers to use Mexican I.D. cards to open checking and savings accounts.

If you leave Well's Fargo make sure you let them know the reason...that they're supporting illegals. I did.

Wells fargo should be treated the same as a cayote smuggler.

Those houses are loan payments are USED BY LAWYERS in the petitions to obtain the "free pass" and contacts for waivers etc.

Remember we have ROLLING AMNESTY now, hide for 10 years and you get a green card. (really) You just have to show contacts and responsibility.

Banks should be required to collect the immigration status.

Wells Fargo is a "gay friendly" bank too.

Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.

A sad note on this is that the probability of one of these illegals getting tossed out of the country is so low the bank doesn't have much to lose.

How do illegal aliens have social security numbers to file tax returns?

If we had a real and enforceable law that required employers to be turned in for hiring illegals, the loan officer would be obligated to turn in the employer when reviewing the loan application.
