This is true of both legal and illegal immigrants. There are illegals who do own property. In my condo complex I have one in by building where the owner was deported and often in the media's sob story the people being deported own a house or condo. Also most foreclosure stories you would read about were mostly about Hispanics. I must add that not only did it happen with Hispanics but Russians as well. I used to see it in the Russian papers and magazines where the mortgage brokers would advertise in Russian and had people who spoke Russian on staff just like the realtors.

Thompson Blames Immigrants For Mortgage Crisis
LOS ANGELES, CA (CBS4) ― Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson has placed part of the blame for the current mortgage crisis on immigrants.

"A lot of them couldn't communicate with the people they were getting the mortgage from," Thompson told an Iowa audience during his "Clear Conservative Choice bus tour" according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.

Some of thos in the audience also expressed their frustration that even phone message options are recorded in Spanish.

"Everything is in Spanish," said Janice Easley, "It's sickening."

"You are so, so right," Thompson said.

Thompson's anti-immigrant rhetoric came as the former Tennessee senator tried to breathe some life into his lackluster campaign.

Thompson who joined the race in September and has watched as his campaign has slowly fizzled over the last few months. This month's Yahoo/Associated Press poll finds he's retained just over half of those who supported him in November.
