San Diego Escorts: ACORN’s Illegal Alien Home Loan Racket
September 18, 2009 at 3:00 am | In San Diego escorts | No CommentsACORN’s Illegal Alien Home Loan Racket
On Wednesday, O’Keefe and Giles
published the
fifth in a series of
BigGovernment.com
sting videos. ACORN official Juan Carlos Vera
coached the pimp-and-prostitute-posing pair on how best
to pull off a
border-busting smuggling operation. It would be
“better from
Tijuana,” he counseled on videotape. Vera then generously offered the
investigative couple his Mexican
“contacts” to
bring 12 illegal alien girls into the country for
prostitution.
GOP California Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger now wants an investigation.
But neither the Terminator nor any other California
public official raised a peep when the very same San
Diego ACORN office publicly announced a partnership with
Citibank to secure home loans for illegal aliens.
In 2005, Citibank and ACORN Housing
Corporation—which received tens of millions of tax
dollars under the Bush administration alone—began
recruiting Mexican illegal aliens for a lucrative
program offering loans with below-market interest rates,
down-payment assistance and no mortgage insurance
requirements. Instead of the Social Security numbers
required of law-abiding citizens, the program allows
illegal alien applicants to supply loosely monitored tax
identification numbers issued by the IRS.

Claudine Scott with the East Village Association told the council that the city must strengthen its permitting process and give residents a say when applicants want to open shop in their communities.
“They should go before the community to explain why they are needed in the neighborhood,” Scott said.
San Diego, like many cities, lacks land use guidelines governing where pot collectives or cooperatives may be located. Nothing in the city’s regulations prevent them from opening next to schools, playgrounds or churches.
Unlike liquor stores and adult businesses, dispensaries are not required to go through the police department to obtain permits before opening. They only need to apply for a business tax certificate from the City Treasurer’s Office and a zoning use certificate from the Development Services Department.

September 17, 2009 at 9:13 pm | In San Diego adult entertainment | No CommentsSAN DIEGO — A San Diego ACORN employee who appeared to give human-smuggling advice to a pimp and prostitute in an undercover video made by conservative filmmakers has been fired, 10News’ Juliette Vara reported.

San Diego ACORN and ACORN offices around the country are continuing to halt our service programs pending the results of the evaluation of the independent Advisory Council and we are continuing to fight on our campaigns: stopping foreclosures, affordable, accessible health care, and a strong education for all children.

September 17, 2009 at 7:49 pm | In San Diego escorts | No CommentsMeanwhile, the debate about another video purporting to show an ACORN worker in San Bernardino offering advice on how to set up prostitution businesses intensified today.
Conservative activists James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles pose as a pimp and a prostitute, respectively, in a hidden-camera video released Tuesday that depicts a woman who O’Keefe says is an ACORN worker in San Bernardino saying she could show them “how not to get caught.” On the video, which is edited, she also discusses killing her ex-husband and says she “laid some groundwork” beforehand by going to domestic violence shelters and saying she was abused.
