The Biden administration released a statement Thursday warning financial institutions against using a person’s immigration status in credit applications.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) released a joint statement telling financial institutions that while it is not illegal to consider a person’s immigration status in the decision on whether to lend money, an overreliance on it could run afoul of the law, according to the statement. The statement implicates the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), which makes it illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex and more in considering a person’s credit application as the mechanism, even though the law does list citizenship status as a protected attribute.

How long before joe forgives those loans?
Their status doesn’t compare to every other reason to not lend to them.
Welcome to Mortgage crisis 2.
The first one was so much fun, and it only cost $500 billion bailout.
The banks were accused of this new thing called ‘Redlining’ which was racist. (How dare they refuse loans to poor people who could not afford to pay them back)
They picked a bank that ‘refused’ was sued by the clinton administration, with Andrew Cuomo running the show.
They had to pay what was the largest fine in history.
So the rest of the banks fell in line- If they didn’t loan the money they would get sued, if they did- and the loan went bad- the government would bail the out. So it was a no brainer.
This let to the first S&L bailout- which was 100% the government’s fault.
Tt is not illegal to consider a person’s immigration.
Memo returned to WH PISS OFF
they ain’t immigrants ...
Yet its ok to close bank accounts on Republicans/and or conservatives/gun companies/gun owners
A small regional bank needs to file suit in a carefully selected federal district court (with a Trump appointed judge) in an appellate circuit with a majority of conservative judges (e.g., the Fifth Circuit) to declare that they can and should refuse to make loans to illegal aliens.
The problem is that all banks will be afraid to go against the Biden regime since it will inevitably result in extensive audits by the FDIC and the IRS (including IRS audits of all bank employees).
If they (the banks) comply with this, it is because they WANT to comply. The President has no authority over banks or any other business. They could take him (Biden) to court if he uses the government to coerce them in breaking the law.
It’s a sick twisted world that the left wish upon us.
This admin is the very worst money can buy. The bad guys really got their money’s worth with this criminal organization they are calling an Administration.
They’ll get an ITN and also get earned income credit...if they work.
I cannot help but not bust out laughing...
First question should be, what asset do you have that we can attach that is worth more than the money you wish to receive. This idem must be in the US and an item legally able to be possessed. No answer to this question means do not provide any further details and destroy this application.
Not to mention those pesky credit scores Americans have been blackmailed with for years.
This is the recipe for bank failure. Banks making loans that probably won’t get paid back. This puts every ones money at risk. Total insanity.
The basic immigration law denies aid of any kind to persons here illegally. Lending money falls into ‘aid of any kind’ category.
“What’s the purpose of doing a credit check on someone who doesn’t have a valid Social Security number?”
Or credit score
Joey is moronic and needs a lid...
Banks do not give a damn about who you are unless a Maga Man. At the urging of Biden’s administration many conservative companies and businesses have had their credit lines cut off. Banks care about your credit worthiness. If they deny a loan to an illegal alien it is because they do not think they will be payed back.
If you lend to an illegal alien the bank examiners will cite your institution. Furthermore, if you lend to an illegal and then you need to foreclose, the institution is then required to pay for an attorney to represent the illegal that you are foreclosing on. INSANITY !!!
