HUD Mum on Illegal Mortgages

A retired agent from Immigration and Customs Enforcement says that five million illegal immigrants nationwide may hold home mortgages.

Earlier this week, we posted a story that said figures from the Department of Housing and Urban Development showed that home mortgages were held by 5 million illegal immigrants and that this may have contributed, in part, to the housing crisis that has led to the recent failure in the financial markets.

Our source for that story, a retired agent from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, stands by those numbers.

A person from Housing and Urban Development contacted KFYI to tell us the number was inaccurate, that there were only 2.3 million mortgages held by immigrants, so there was no way that 5 million illegals could have mortgages.

When asked what HUD says the correct number is, the person (who identified himself only as 'Brian' and who refused to give his last name), either would not or could not say how many illegal immigrants hold mortgages. He also said there was "no way" HUD would grant an interview on the subject.

Everyone inside of the Beltway needs a good toilet-style flushing. Doesn’t matter if they’re elected, appointed, or hired. Flush ‘em. Start over.

70 years of leftist infiltration has left the foundation rotting.

my rule of thumb regarding illegal immigrants:

whatever the govt. will admit to, multiply the number by three (3).

Oh, the dems will investigate come Nov.

Funny how the term limits part of the Contract with America never got passed. Republican opportunists bit us all in the butt by leaving so much scum entrenched in DC.

Knowing how the rats think this will be the justification for legalization so they can pay off their mortgages for them. Why is this not being reported in the MSM???

5 MILLION ILLEGALS that COULDN’T AFFORD a HOUSE got a MORTGAGE.....PLUS they would sell to one another at inflated prices and POCKET TENS of THOUSANDS of DOLLARS!!

And where were all the WHISTLE BLOWERS????????????

[norwaypinesavage]

The numbers seem consistent to me: It would be easy for 5 million (mostly married) illegal immigrants to hold 2.3 million mortgages. Either number is outrageous.

"Kevin Johnson, dean of the UC Davis School of Law and one of three professors at the school advising the Obama campaign on immigration policy, said immigration reform is "a dangerous issue to talk about when the economy is melting down."

Whew, I thought it might be a Trillion dollars not just a measly 500 Billion.

No interview required. That's what GAO audits are for. Time to roll back the carpet and watch the roaches run for it.
