It's still smoke and mirrors during the old dog and pony show from the feds w/ respect tho illegal immigration.

Many of us saw it coming. Many in high places (Washington and Wall Street, for example) had their heads in the sand or up their derrieres.

Embracing Illegals
Companies are getting hooked on the buying power of 11 million undocumented immigrants

“The result is a hot new market in the making. With hundreds of thousands of illegal alien households earning enough to qualify for $95,000 mortgages, according to the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, ITIN and conventional mortgages taken out by illegals could be worth as much as $60 billion over the next five years. That's pushing big banks such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM ) to examine the market and upping pressure on mortgage buyers Fannie Mae (FNM ) and Freddie Mac (FRE ) to create a secondary market for ITIN loans.”

Corporate America and government got hooked on the illegal alien drug. It didn't take a rocket scientist in 2003 to figure it out.

This is what the LSM and government will not address to the public.

A retail / service sector (all consumption) economy is so strong.....my rear.
