Senator Padilla and NALEO Educational Fund Announce American Dream Loan Fund
Thursday, November 15, 2007
Program will provide zero-interest loans to eligible residents applying for U.S. citizenship, and help offset increased naturalization fees

Responding to a significant increase in the cost of the naturalization fee imposed by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on July 30, the NALEO Educational Fund has launched a revolving loan fund initiative called the American Dream Fund. The program will provide zero-interest loans to legal permanent residents who demonstrate difficulty paying the $675 naturalization fee, enabling hundreds of newcomers with limited resources in Houston, Los Angeles and New York City to continue their journey towards full civic participation and engagement in American life. The American Dream Fund is made possible through a $100,000 grant from Advance America.

“The fee to become a naturalized U.S. citizen increased 69% this year. The cost has soared by
650% since 1991, when legal permanent residents paid a fee of $90 to file their applications,â€

To apply for a FM3 in Mexico (which enables a US citizen to live in Mexico year round) it is required to prove that you have at least $1500.00 income monthly to be approved. This $1500.00 monthly income cannot come from any kind of job that would take away earnings from Mexicans. Pretty ironic, isn't it? We give illegals 0 percent interest on loans to apply for citizenship and we have to prove that we can provide for ourselves.

Any elected office holder that instead of representing American citizens fights for Illegal Aliens should be 'Tied to the Whipping Post!'

Do they have to apply in English?

I don't get it "NALEO Educational Fund’s 2006
Community Empowerment Program" What does a Educational Fund have to do with immigration? Shouldn't they be using their resources to help our schools that are being dumbed down by illegal immigration?

It's like they are in a hurry to get as many welfare cases into citizenship as fast as possible. Americans should be pissed, as we will end up takeing care of people who can not even come up with enough money to become a citizen.

These people have really gone off the deep end!
