Amen. There was an article in the WSJ a few years back where a bank in Elgin Illinois gave a 300 grand loan to a man who's income consisted of going though the trash for recyclables. His legal status was questionable. To help pay the mortgage he stuffed his house with “relatives” from the old country to pay the rent. When the neighbors complained about the congested parking and the late night oompa-pah music and the bank loan,a bank spokesman implied that the complaining neighbors were racist. I read the article here at FR, but can't find it now.
