Hey, remember when I wrote about illegal alien home loans nearly two years ago?

Now, government officials in one state have made it even easier for immigration outlaws to settle in:

In a pilot program described as the first of its kind, an agency created by the state government is making it easier for illegal immigrants in Wisconsin to obtain mortgage loans.

Immigrants who do not have Social Security numbers – a common requirement for loans – can use an alternative government-issued tax number to get financing for new homes, under the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) program.

Many holders of the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) are living and working illegally in this country, even though they pay taxes.

Some say the Wisconsin program is an example of how groups and companies are starting to recognize the potential market of immigrants. Critics say the program provides a reward for those who are violating immigration laws…

Gee, ya think?
