For the love of Pete. Will a Republican please sue to stop this mess?
The rats did it to us.
Sounds good, but it was the Republicans who did it to us. See my FR home page for details. (Ol' Dan Tucker)
George W. Bush started right after he was elected in 2000.
On February 16, 2001, just 3 weeks after his inauguration, President George W. Bush met with Mexican President Vicente Fox to discuss the terms of the Partnership for Prosperity Agreement (with Mexico)
The Partner for Prosperity Agreement (with Mexico) signed on September 6, 2001.
Bush signed the USA PATRIOT Act into law that changed banking laws to allow illegal aliens to enter our banking market. Prior to this, illegals could not because they didn't have a US Social Security number. Afterward, they could open bank accounts, get home, auto & business loans, get credit cards, etc.
In June 2002, he called on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to increase commitments to the 'minority' market by $440 billion.
He also called upon Congress to fully fund the American Dream Down Payment Act, which he signed into law in 2004. (sponsored by Republicans)
In May 2003, he formed the New Alliance Task Force. (NATF)
By 2007/2008 the real estate bubble burst leaving the US taxpayer to pick up the tab for Duhbya's largess.
In 2003 Bush also signed the US Social Security Totalization Agreement (with Mexico). Under the terms of the agreement, Mexican illegal aliens would be able to apply for, and receive US SS payments for the time they were here illegally. A US citizen has to work 40 quarters (10 years) before they're eligible to apply. In contrast, the illegal alien could apply for, and receive benefits after having worked only 6 quarters. (18 months)
Not only that, but the Mexican illegal alien could apply for, and receive US SS benefits for their family back home in Mexico, even if the family have never stepped foot in the USA.
