Arizona's New Immigration Law

You know who built all those houses? Illegal immigrants, that's who. Thus proving a plot by the socialist parties of Mexico and Cuba to invade our land with low skill low wage workers who would topple the very foundation of the free market by flooding the housing sector with unneeded houses thus forcing the banks to begin the subprime craze, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to keep pumping money until the system collapsed. Then the socialists of Cuba/Mexico took to the Gulf where they forced Big Oil to drill in deeper and deeper water until Big Oil lost it. I see the whole picture now. It is clear. Thank you joetheismanfan. Die all you capitalist pigs, socialism will rule!

Builders returning to the devastated Florida housing market - Apr. 16, 2010 (http://money.cnn.com/2010/04/16/news/economy/Florida_home_building/index.htm?section=money_topstories)


Putting people into the housing market who weren't in the housing market. Releasing credit restrictions to get rid of them houses. These two links show New York housing market and Florida.

Neither of these two articles show any proof that the market was saturated preboom. Neither show any indication that, pre-boom, banks were funding builders w/ no demand.

From the Florida article:
"This is quite a turnaround for Schulmeyer's group, which had retreated to building just over 100 homes in only four communities in 2009, down from 900 houses in 20 locales during the peak mid-decade."

From the New York article:
"Furman Center researchers found that the city gained 170,000 new housing units from 2000 to 2008."

Wow - they built too many houses and then the market crashed. The explosion in price occurred at the same time as your articles show the building boom. NOT BEFORE. Where's the proof that the housing boom existed before prices exploded?

Further, neither of your articles mention anything about the so-called easy money available to builders PRE-BOOM and which, according to you, was the ultimate cause of the housing crash.

Don't worry, I won't tax your limited comprehension skills by requesting you prove your hyperbole. Feel free to cling to your comfortable, simple misconceptions.

I think good ole jtf reads the headline and fills in the story to meet his agenda/world view, facts aren't really necessary for the rest of the details.

I had to buy a house in that market when there where not enough houses and to many buyers. If you liked a home you better have a contract in their hands for 10,000 or more over asking price or you where left sitting on the curb. It was just crazy. My budy put in a contract to have a home built for like $280,000 and after the contractor dragged it out for a 1 1/2 yrs his new home was now worth over $425,000. He sold the home and never moved in. Part was a supply problem and then people figured out they could get some fancy loan and buy a bigger home. Then we rounded up more illegals and contractors started building house after house then the market dropped and now we have a bunch of home and no buyers. We are also stuck with a bunch of illegals that now won't leave.

FOXNews.com - California Students Sent Home for Wearing U.S. Flags on Cinco de Mayo (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/05/06/california-students-sent-home-wearing-flags-cinco-mayo/)

Oh man. That's scary. US school teachers sending kids home for wearing the American Flag on a T-shirt? Fail, fail, fail.

I've heard that no Mexicans outside the town of Puebla even celebrate Cinco De Mayo. Apparently the "holiday" celebrates when that particular town fought off the French in 1862. Mexico was ultimately unable to stop the European "intervention."
