One illegal alien was arrested this year in Tucson after allegedly
using a stolen social security number to buy two homes and rack up over
$780,000 in bad debt.
Some five million fraudulent home mortgages are in the hands of illegal
aliens, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
It's not known how many of those have contributed to the subprime
housing mortgage meltdown, but it has affected every state, including
Arizona.
The problem began years ago when banks were forced to give mortgages
without confirming social security numbers or borrower identification.
As a result, illegal immigrants were able to obtain home mortgages
which they could not afford.
