Banking on illegals

New South Federal Savings Bank is giving illegal aliens home mortgages to help them realize the American dream.
Its Casa Mia program is designed to help tax-paying immigrants "without traditional forms of documentation" -- like anything indicating they are Americans. Remedios Gomez Arnau, consul general of Mexico in Atlanta, is working closely with the massive Alabama-based bank "to ensure the accurate identification of Mexican immigrants." Said Senor Arnau: "We are excited to see a loan product specifically aimed at helping Mexican immigrants."
New South describes itself as Alabama's largest thrift with $1.4 billion in assets. It has residential mortgage loan offices in 13 states and services home loans in 30 more, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. If enough illegals apply, New South plans to offer Casa Mia mortgages in Atlanta, Phoenix and Houston "in the near future." Unless, that is, the bank officers are arrested for helping to harbor illegal aliens.
'CLEAR VIOLATION'
"What this bank is doing is a clear violation of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act," said Craig Nelsen, executive director of Friends of Immigration Law Enforcement. FILE describes itself as an association of legal and legislative volunteers working on behalf of Americans to ensure that immigration law is being enforced. "If any loans are issued, they are liable for arrest," Nelsen said. "On TV, you see poor Mexican kids being led away in handcuffs. We need these bank directors led away in handcuffs."
It is a felony to encourage an alien to reside in the United States, knowing that such residence is in violation of the law, Nelsen stated in a letter to New South.

That may be your opinion or interpretation of the law, but it's not the one accepted in fact by the government and the financial institutions. See post #96 among others for the reality of the law.
The DREAM Act hasn't been passed yet has it? That appears to be the plan, if they can get these treasonous policies into place that will assist illegals in planting deeper roots in the country. At that point there will be enormous pressure not to deport them but in fact give them amnesty. The guest worker program is part of that.
"Bank of America and Wells Fargo are doing the same thing!!!!"
Not true.
Not with mortgages, possibly on the deposit side.
All borrowers must have residency status documented.
I know because I had potential customers fall on the undocumented side and they cannot get financing.
I just switched jobs from one of these companies to the other this month.
I agree with you and I also believe stop paying your taxes. Only all of us would have to do that. Take away the crooks income and they can't operate.
And, he's doing 15-20 at the moment.
Not yet, Orrin will attach it on something that is long and complicated and then it'll probably slide through unnoticed. It made it thru Committee 16-3. The votes are there for it if the press doesn't catch it.
Who cares. The LAW is the LAW, and I'd like to see the officers of this bank from the CEO on down doin' the Perp Walk.
Illegals have NO RIGHT to own sh*t in this country, except a one-way ticket back to wherever they came from.
Maybe some FReepers in the area should be passing out copies of this article to all their customers down there in FRONT of the bank's branches.
I bet they'd have a sudden rash of accounts closing when the REAL citizens find out what their bank has been up to.
Same goes for any bank doing this. They should have their charters revoked.

I bet he's for the "Reconquista of Aztlan", too.
It should be.
Plus those foreign nationals have PROPER DOCUMENTATION.
What do you want? Us to be overrun by an INFERIOR culture and civilization?
I have. I walked into a fast food joint once and yelled out "La Migra Immigration Raid!" and half their staff fled out the back door, lol!
Yeah, I know. I can't help it I'm an incurable practical joker. Its amazig how many people STILL fall for the thumbtack-on-the-chair one......
And the law is that every American has a right to sell his property to anyone he chooses to and to loan money to anyone he chooses to.
No, it just sounds like he read Eisenschimml.
Hey, I think Stanton was behind it, too. The man was a power-hungry looney-tune.
Sounds like Stormer was right about the International Banking Cabal.
Ya gotta wonder about people who support undermining the foundations of this country. BTTT!
What is it, then, when the US government gives the alien an individual taxpayer ID number (ITIN)?
Sealing our borders is the ONLY secure option, along with immediate deportation of all illegals.
I don't give a crap about what "roots" they have in any community or HOW it may tear a family apart.
Screw the illegals AND their idiot cheerleader-apologists such as yourself.
Guest workers! Sheesh, what a moron!
PS, let 'em take their spawn back to Mexico with them.
Oh, OUR families were torn apart for centuries during slavery, but you don't hear me whining about it.
To hades with the illegals. Send 'em all back immediately.
Where's the rest of the FOQNA loons?
