I have had perfect credit for more than 2 decades. Never been late paying anything in my entire life. I have purchased 4 homes. Each time, I have gone through the process I have had to give them everything but the right to any descendants of future generations. So I can truly relate to what you are saying and the insanity that accompanies the process. They knew exactly who they were targeting and simply did not care what the end results would be.

Illinois Lisa Madigan (Illinois states attorney, who is currently running for governor) has sued BOA, Wells Fargo, Countrywide and a slew of other banks and mortgage companies for fraudulent practices. She's actually won a few. That being said, as much as I applaud her victories for the little people, many of said little people are illegal alien homeowners in the illegal alien sanctuary known as Chicago.

There are millions of illegal aliens from the middle east living in Michigan.

There are two sets of rules, one for the poor, one for everyone else. I've been noticing that for a while. The ones that really notice it are the working poor that don't benefit from the freebies.

That saddens me. Afterall, that is who our social services should benefit. It angers me that my tax dollars are providing for anchor babies and illegal alien leeches.

That I doubt in all fairness: I suspect it is more like 7-12 million (tops) illegals here in the USA. Now: factoring in the US born Anchor Babies (technically citizens)............we may indeed have ca. 20 million folks of questionable legality.

Yes, it pretty much pisses me off too. Especially when I see someone in the WIC line after they've gotten out of a new SUV with 22 inch rims, can't speak English and have a batch of kids. It does appear that it has become an entitlement.

My bleeding heart Sister used to work in a WIC office and I always get to hear the stories EVERY time we have a get together. I think she does it just to **** me off

Probably. Some people enjoy tormenting others, especially siblings. I have a brother just like your sister. But I can't help but love him to death, I'm sure you feel the same way about your tormenting sister.

If I'm not mistaken it is a federal crime to lie on a mortgage application!!!!
