La Raza Group Teams Up With Feds To Push Govt. Aid In Spanish
Judicial Watch ^ | July 8, 2011

President Obama’s favorite La Raza group has teamed up with a federal agency to promote one of the administration’s many government cash giveaways with Spanish ads encouraging Latinos—possibly illegal immigrants—to apply for free U.S. taxpayer dollars.

The new campaign warns Hispanics that time is running out to get up to “$50,000 in help” from Uncle Sam to pay their mortgage, past due charges, taxes, insurance and even legal fees associated with their home. The money is being disbursed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as part of a billion-dollar Emergency Homeowner Loan Program (EHLP).

In 2008 the agency revealed that some 5 million fraudulent or defaulted home mortgages were in the hands of illegal immigrants, who obtained the loans from banks that were pressured by the government to offer them. In fact, the agency in charge of preserving and promoting public confidence in the nation’s financial system, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), began pushing banks to offer services to illegal aliens years earlier and many still do today.

It’s logical to assume that the involvement of the nation’s most powerful open borders group, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), in promoting government-funded mortgage aid is geared, at least in part, towards undocumented immigrants. The EHLP expired but recently got extended amid record-high unemployment to help people keep their homes. The NCLR, which has seen its federal funding skyrocket since one of its top officials got a job in Obama’s White House, wants to make sure Latinos get a piece of the pie. This week it launched a Spanish-language public service campaign to highlight the program’s “fast-approaching” deadline.

“The biggest challenge now is ensuring that people know about this opportunity and take advantage of it during the short period that it is available,” according to the NCLR director who announced the campaign that will help Latinos “seize” an “opportunity.” In the ad HUD Assistant Secretary Mercedes Marquez alerts Hispanics of the imminent deadline to get their government cash and directs them to a Spanish HUD website that assures the money will be disbursed in a “fair and impartial manner.”

Last year Marquez , a strong ally of the open borders movement, awarded an NCLR affiliate known as Chicanos Por la Causa nearly $40 million in grants to “stabilize neighborhoods and rebuild economies.” The money came from a Neighborhood Stabilization Program that has doled out $2 billion to community groups to combat the negative effects of “vacant and abandoned homes.”

Just a few weeks ago a Judicial Watch investigation revealed that federal funding for the NCLR, which for years has raked in millions of taxpayer dollars, has catapulted since Obama hired its senior vice president (Cecilia Muñoz) to be his director of intergovernmental affairs. In fact, the government cash more than doubled the year Muñoz joined the White House, from $4.1 million to $11 million. Additionally, NCLR affiliates nationwide raked in tens of millions of government grant and recovery dollars last year thanks to the Muñoz factor.

"I have lived in two other lands with different languages and learned by living, and became fluent in both languages, as an adult. ARE LATINOS TOO STUPID TO EVEN TRY????"

No sir, they are NOT too stupid.

What they're trying to do is "latino-ize" the U.S., to whatever degree possible. They do not want to assimilate with Americans, they want their own culture, society, language and even borders within the U.S., (states such as Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, etc, which they believe are rightfully theirs anyway).

Add to that the fact that Latinos, (with some notable exceptions), are the laziest people on earth, with their "third world" mentality that their nations do not need to be exceptional, their customary daily "siestas", their laisserfaire attitude, and their criminal mentality, (breaking into the U.S. in the tens of millions under the cover of darkness, assuming a false identity, and feeling no guilt whatsoever about it), then what you have is an age old form of foreign invasion, from peoples from a foreign land, which is precisely what it is. Instead of warfare, they simply find their way here, stake their territories out, and then over time heavily populate those territories.

History, (which Americans are no longer familiar with), reveals that this very same situation was the beginning of the Fall of the Roman Empire; (the allowing in of the 'barbarians' to do their labor for them). And do not, REPEAT, do not, expect the Repubicans, (as Mark Levin likes to call them), to help stop this invasion. If it does stop, it will be the American people themselves who do it, not our elected "representatives".

Emergency Homeowner Loan Program (EHLP)

They missed a great opportunity for a better acronym. Make it Homeowner Emergency Loan Program (HELP).

I don’t know if you remember the discussion 5 or 6 years ago, but even then FReepers on this topic were warning of a mortgage bust

Ah yes. I had forgotten. But it was obvious at the time that the use of the TIN was a cheap scam to get around the SSAN requirement. Still makes my blood boil!

Happily that was one of the things I took into account when I got out of any equities late in 2007/early 2008 and went into cash and bonds. Did lose value in the house, but not that awful. Paying attention to concerns from sensible sites like this and others convinced me.

Really tells you what the real consequences of the illegal immigration disaster are: economic collapse.

Sadly agree with all you said. They can only get away with invasion both physical and cultural IF WE LET THEM.

And we are rolling over like a dog who wants his tummy rubbed.
