"UNDOCUMENTED (ILLEGAL ALIENS) CAN NOW PURCHASE HOME" (Indocumentados pueden comprar casa)

By Delines Batlle

TV47 Telemundo, 7 September 2005

[TRANSLATION SPANISH TO ENGLISH BY FREEPER]

"New York, NY-- Thanks to a private bank initiative, it is now possible for undocumented immigrants to the United States to purchase a home, without having a Social Security Number.

A new program, it will now help those immigrants who have not been able to purchase a home, and to help them achieve the American Dream.

For a very long time, Elena Hernandez did not have the illusion of being able to buy a home, not because she did not want to, but because she did not have legal immigration papers. The Mexican immigrant said "I knew that for me, the door was closed for me to purchase because I did not have a SSN, and without an SSN, you know you cannot do anything," she said.

Traditionally, undocumented who wanted to buy a home in the United States had to resort to underhanded means, such as with false documents, or with the help of other persons....

But now thanks to the Citigroup, in alliance with a group ACORN, the Asociation de Organizaciones Comunitarias para Reformas", they are able to help immigrants to buy homes who do not even have Social Security numbers.....

(el snippo)....this could be accomplished just with a Taxpayer Identification Number.... it is important for all those interested, who want to take advantage of this new program, to contact a center of ACORN Housing Corporation, and you can do it in the following communities:

Nueva York

Nueva Jersey

Bridgeport, CT

Washington DC

Miami

Baltimore, MD

Chicago

California

For more information, you can visit by Internet ACORN HOUSE, and below that, ACORN Housing and Citigroup Partner on Remarkable Home Loan Product, where you will find more details. For the office of ACORN closest to you, just contact ACORN in Spanish."

Indocumentados pueden comprar casa Por Delinés Batlle

PUBLICADO: 7 de septiembre de 2005, a las 12:11 pm (este) ACTUALIZADO: 30 de septiembre de 2005, a las 9:16 am (este)

NUEVA YORK, NY. -- Gracias a una iniciativa de la banca privada ahora es posible para inmigrantes indocumentados comprar casa en los Estados Unidos sin necesidad de tener número de seguro social.

AP

Un nuevo programa ayuda a los inmigrantes que no pueden comprar casa, a cumplir su sueño americano.

Durante mucho tiempo Elena Hernández ha tenido la ilusión de comprar una casa, pero no lo ha logrado, según ella por no tener papeles migratorios.

La inmigrante mexicana dice: “creo que se me han cerrado las puertas para comprar una casa porque no tengo una tarjeta de número de seguros social”, así que sin el numero de seguro social no puedo hacer nada”.

Históricamente los indocumentados que han comprado casa en Estados Unidos, lo han hecho bajo cierto riesgo; con documentos falsos o con la ayuda de otras personas.

“Hay personas que si tienen su propiedad, pero están a nombre de otra persona que si tiene documentos legales”.

Pero ahora el Ctigroup se ha unido a Acorn, la asociación de organizaciones comunitarias para reformas, para ayudar a inmigrantes a comprar su casa aunque no tengan el número de seguro social.

Lo que si necesitan es el ITIN, el número que da el gobierno federal para que las personas sin seguro social puedan pagar sus impuestos.

“Tienen que traer copia de 2 estados de banco recientes, 3 talonarios de cheques más recientes y sus declaraciones de impuestos de los últimos 2 años”.

Además, hay que tener 3 o 4 líneas de créditos, aunque para eso cuentan recibos de pago de alquiler, luz o agua.

Las ventajas de tener estas hipotecas disponibles para ciertos indocumentados, es que solo hay que tener 3 % de enganche o pago inicial y recibe una tasa de interés hasta de 1 punto más bajo que en el mercado.

Es importante que todos los interesados, sepan que este nuevo programa está disponible solamente a través los centros de ACORN Housing Corporation, en las siguientes comunidades:

Nueva York Nueva Jersey Bridgeport, CT Washigton DC Miami Baltimore, MD Chicago California

American Dream For Illegal Immigrants
Tue, 11/14/2006 - 15:03 — Webmaster
Officials at the government agency in charge of preserving and promoting public confidence in the country’s financial systems are encouraging banks nationwide to offer services to illegal immigrants and many have obliged.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has succeeded in getting several large lending institutions to offer a variety of banking services to illegal aliens, including home loans. Headquartered in Washington D.C., The FDIC insures more than $3 trillion of deposits in U.S. banks and is managed by a five-person board of directors appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate.

It’s ironic, then, that agency officials would promote programs that would aide those who have broken U.S. federal laws by entering and subsequently living in the country without appropriate documentation. The chairman of a Tennessee bank (Bank of Bartlett) that recently launched a mortgage program for illegal aliens said the federal government gave him the idea.

Thanks to this type of encouragement from federal officials, several other banks across the country offer such incentives to those in the country illegally. The special programs, endorsed by the federal agency, allow local and national banks to grant home loans to people without Social Security numbers.

Last year, Wells Fargo proudly launched a lending program - called Celebrate Home—for illegal immigrants and the bank even issued a press release claiming the bragging rights of being the first major lender to offer undocumented aliens home loans. Years ago, Wells Fargo became the first U.S. financial institution to accept so-called foreign consular identification cards, in lieu of a Social Security card, to open bank accounts.

Bank officials don’t see anything wrong with helping those in the country illegally obtain the American dream of owning a home. In fact, they say that they are not required to ask the immigration status of their customers since that is the responsibility of the federal government

I wish they would use the term “illegal alien” instead of “undocumented immigrant”.

Calling someone “undocumented” suggests that they simply don’t have an ID. If any of us lose our driver’s license or birth certificate, then we are “undocumented”. They make it sound like they simply don’t have their identification paperwork in order, and that this is not a serious problem. They are using certain words to change the perception of who these people are and what they are doing in our country.

To do that would offer a value judgement. It would adjudge illegal aliens as somehow criminals. Cant have THAT!!As a result, in the Spanish language references and common discussions, in nearly 90% of the cases, the term “undocumented” (indocumentados), even “immigrant” (inmigrante) has to be the euphemism utilized, to avoid tainting them in any negative fashion. But it is one big lie, as everyone with a brain can tell you. Especially LEGAL IMMIGRANTS with all their LEGAL DOCUMENTS in their briefcases, filing cabinets, desks and hutches at home.

And the leftists are going wild now over the fact that McCain apparently was hanging out with ACORN folks and even praising them at (illegal) immigration rallies in 2006.

Republican Commissar’s Warning: By joining this ping list, you may be subjected to the delusional rants and ramblings of McCainiacs, of "moderate" Republicans, of pragmatic conservatives resigned to voting for the lesser of two Democrats, and of countless GOP shills who simply want to meet a new overlord.

Citibank is the bank that Barack Obama sued on behalf of ACORN to force it to make more bad mortgages to minorities.

ACORN also beat up Wells Fargo for five years and Wells finally relented in the face of continued protests and flashmobs showing up at its branches.

Any wonder why Juan has been less than enthusiatic about linking Obama to ACORN? And what about the La Raza- ACORN link...and the millions of HUD loans to illegals?

Let Citibank die its natural death.

If you live making stupid decisions, by lending to people whom you can never track, we are in the country ILLEGALLY and can skip just as quick, you should die the same way.

When I explain this situation to Japanese, that any foreigner could waltz into the USA, illegal in the first place, and then get a loan on little documentation, then flip up properties until the crash, absconding and just leaving the keys behind, they think AMERICA HAS GONE MAD.

HOW COULD THE BANKS LOAN TO SUCH PEOPLE is what I hear Japanese after Japanese say. (Of course, their banks loaned to idiots in the 1990s, so maybe they have some experience in this foolishness first hand). At any rate, most are incredulous to grant this to foreigners illegally there.
