Can redistribution of funds to a critical voting bloc answer embarrassing popularity ratings?
(Judicial Watch) — 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.” And 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, 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. NCLR affiliates nationwide fared just as well, raking in tens of millions of government grant and recovery dollars last year thanks to the Muñoz factor.http://weaselzippers.us/2011/07/08/obama…http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/politic…

How Many Noncitizen Latinos Should Hud Award $50,000 Ehlp Grants In Lottery For American Homeowners Assistance?
Posted on July 13, 2011.
I would say that NO non-citizens should be awarded these grants.
None. They should not being getting anything! It is seriously disgusting how thee racist groups are working in this country while breaking laws to boot. If racist la raza does not aid and abet illegals, then no one does.
Hate to tell you this but you been fooled. The program will not allow illegals to get the money but in the news piece it quote possible as in slight chance of somebody providing false paper work. Another fake news story.

Illegal aliens shouldn’t even be here–it’s against the law–but they are.
Illegal aliens shouldn’t be working–that’s against the law, too–but they are.
Illegal aliens shouldn’t be driving without licenses–but they do.
Illegal aliens shouldn’t get welfare–but they do.
Illegal aliens shouldn’t be able to get home mortgages–but they did.
Illegal aliens shouldn’t be able to stand up in the halls of Congress, admit their status, and be told that the laws to detain and deport them would not be enforced–but they were, in just the past week.
Now, you were saying…
absolutely none. I wonder if they’ll delete this question too. Seems we have some very liberal anti-American moderators on this site, huh?
Deport them all including there anchor baby’s .
I think the word “should” should be eliminated from the English language. Reason, Logic and common sense no longer apply in the current reality to Reelect The President.
Ehhh Capaso Hombre. Muway importante that I get these house esse. Where
else are me and my Illegals going to squat homey. All I got to do is run a con
on the ugly white chick at the government office. And that crib is mine. Gracious
