The midterm elections have brought into focus some interesting issues for the Hispanic community this year. Anti-immigrant sentiments have been part of the campaign rhetoric in states across the country as candidates hurl accusations and negative Hispanic images at one another. Arizona’s SB1070 law has sanctioned anti-Latino attitudes. http://ow.ly/2XuRp The slurs and innuendo are downright offensive, insulting and impossible to ignore.
Within days of major lenders putting foreclosures on hold, I began to hear from NAHREP members about the problems the embargo was causing new buyers in the hardest hit markets. Like you, I was relieved to hear the news that the White House opposes a national foreclosure moratorium and applaud the Administration for not overreacting to the recent document/recordkeeping issues. http://ow.ly/2WLYx The unintended consequences of a broader moratorium would certainly deal a blow to an already fragile housing market.
