Here is the Washington Post article: Immigrants Hit Hard By Repossessions The rosebushes at the house on Bayshire Lane in Herndon have died. Plastic wrappers and empty crates are visible through the windows of the otherwise vacant house. A breeze riffles the pages of a weather-beaten copy of the Nuevo Testamento on the front porch. To view the entire article, go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/29/AR200706 2902468.html?referrer=emailarticle Also: "Now many immigrants who bought homes in Herndon are walking away from the properties, said Miguel Martinez, a real estate agent with Prosperity Realty. He said the good-paying jobs they had in residential construction have disappeared, and they can't make the payments any more. Many undocumented workers also fear anti-immigrant sentiments in Herndon, Martinez said, and worry that they or their relatives could be deported if arrested for other infractions." To answer Ed's comment about the banks looking for a quick buck on risky loans, the states are cracking down on them for that practice. David L.
