It was said in sarcasm. Not the outrageous part, because I think it IS outrageous that an illegal alien can legally purchase a house. The sarcasm was regarding HUD, because why not get a govt secured loan to boot.

You bring up an interesting point. When my mom applied for a mortgage loan, why they wanted to see her SS card and her citizenship papers,etc. How exactly DOES an illegal alien get a mortgage? UNLESS... they paid for it outright in cash. My dad had my mother do the loan to establish credit, but he paid the house off in cash. I am not familiar with HUD but if it's anything like student financial AID, I want nothing to do with it!
