First thanks to CNS News for continue to keep us educated
 
The insanity continues..................
If you are not legally in the Country and do not have the financial wares to purchase
a home without HUD's assistance...................
WHY ARE YOU ALLOWED TO PURCHASE A HOME WITH GOV. ASSISTANCE?
- you are in violation of our immigration laws.
 
And why the special language in Spanish - the illegal alien Germans, Chinese, etc.
must feel really special huh? I thought to become a citizen, you had to have a basic
understanding of the English Language. So why aren't these newcomers
(they term - not mine) learning to speak the language of the land????
 
While many Americans (of all ethnic variations) are losing their homes to foreclosure
because of cheap labor or the lack of employment - our Government is pandering and
pushing homeownership to illegal aliens at a TAXPAYER current price tag of
$41 million dollars.
 
And what happens when they cannot pay back the loans they get
Who will be paying for that?
 
Is there no one in Congress who is awake and sees what is happening?
More importantly - Why are they not stopping this insanity????

HUD Launches ‘Live Free’ Campaign to Combat Housing Discrimination Against Immigrants
Tuesday, April 12, 2011
By Susan Jones
(CNSNews.com) - April is National Fair Housing Month, and to mark the occasion, the Obama administration is addressing discrimination in housing based on national origin.
The emphasis is on immigrants, legal or illegal.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced on Monday that it plans to educate the public -- through community talks and a media campaign -- about discrimination against "persons of foreign descent."
“Through this education campaign, HUD will work with communities to prevent housing discrimination and promote immigrant integration into the broader society," said John Trasvina, HUD Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.
HUD's "Live Free" national media campaign includes a print advertisement featuring a Latino worker looking into the horizon, with a caption in Spanish reading: "You have the right to live where you choose. Report housing discrimination."
HUD points to Census data showing that "newcomers" are settling not only in "gateway states," but also in communities across the Midwest and South.
The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in rental, sales or home lending transactions based on a person's national origin. This includes discrimination based on a person's ancestry, country of birth outside the United States, and the language they speak.
HUD notes that national origin discrimination often involves immigrants or non-English speaking individuals, but it can also involve native-born U.S. citizens based on their family ancestry. The Fair Housing Act specifically bars discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, disability, and family status discrimination.
HUD recently awarded nearly $41 million to 108 fair housing organizations and non-profit agencies across the country to educate the public and combat housing and lending discrimination.
Many of the groups will use the grants to address discrimination against immigrants, Latinos, non-native English speakers and minority communities.
Some examples of how the grants will be used include the following:
-- The Fair Housing Council of Riverside County, California, will test for discrimination based on national origin in the sale and rental of housing units;
-- The Equal Rights Center in Washington, D.C., will investigate 240 new complaints of housing discrimination based on national origin;
-- The Idaho Legal Aid Services will broadcast public service announcements in Spanish about FHA lending information; and
-- Prairie State Legal Services in Rockford, Illinois, will focus on educational outreach to Spanish-speaking residents
