President Trump’s Move to Rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program has been Blocked by the Courts, but the Administration is reportedly Continuing to Sabotage the Lives of Young Immigrants Protected by the Program in other ways.
Edith Aguirre Vazquez is just One of a Number of DACA Recipients “who have been denied government-insured home loans from lenders following unofficial instructions from Trump administration officials to shut them out,” Buzzfeed reports.
The Lender at USA Mortgage who was Working with Aguirre told BuzzFeed News Pinned the Blame on the Administration. “It was not USA Mortgage decision, it’s [Housing and Urban Development] HUD decision that [Federal Housing Administration] FHA loans can no longer be made to DACA. We are following HUD rules,” he said.
But Immigrant Youth Pay to be Enrolled in DACA, and Contribute Taxes through the Work Permits and Social Security Numbers they’re Issued by the Government. So when asked for comment on whether there’s been Official Policy Change, “HUD spokesperson Brian Sullivan pointed to an FAQ posted on the department’s online resource center, which does not specifically address DACA but says noncitizens are eligible for loans if they meet various criteria.”
That doesn’t Answer the Life-Changing Predicament some DACA Recipients are in right now.
Not Only are they having to Live their Lives from Court Decision to Court Decision, some who had been Expecting to Close on a Home, like Aguirre Vazquez, are having the Ground Ripped out from under them. “I’ve been here since I was 3 years old,” she said. “I feel as American as anybody else and I’m kind of getting doors shut, getting blamed for something that you had no choice of.”
