Economists fear wave of evictions on way in US

Last updated: September 7 2007 03:00

The fate of the US housing market is increasingly in the hands of an opaque part of the financial system normally associated with moves to evict families from their homes.

Mortgage service companies, which are responsible for calling on Americans to keep up with their loan payments, have assumed a pivotal role in President George W. Bush's market-oriented strategy for dealing with the pending wave of foreclosures in the subprime mortgage sector.

An estimated 6m high-risk subprime loans, worth a total of more than $1,000bn, are outstanding, which will in many cases reset to higher interest rates in the next 18 months, putting more than 2.5m Americans at risk of foreclosure.

"It is sort of like being in New Orleans a month before Hurricane Katrina hit when you know there is a storm coming," said Guy Cecala, of Inside Mortgage Finance.

Now that the ratings show the Republican debate on Fox, as the most watched debate thus far... Do you think it was a mistake for the Democrats to refuse to appear on the network?

Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Thursday arrested 19 people who work for Cloudburst Lawn and Sprinkler.
ICE spokesman Tim Counts said all 19 people were arrested on "administrative immigrations violations." That means they are accused of being in the country illegally.

Counts said there were no criminal arrests.

He said the 19 people who were arrested were being processed in Grand Island and would be detained in the Phelps County Jail.

He said preliminary indications are that 11 of the people arrested are from Mexico, six are from El Salvador and two are from Guatemala.

He said some people may decide to waive their right to a hearing and agree to be deported.

"Others may say they've got a right to be in the country and want a hearing," Counts said.

He said the hearing would be in the administrative immigration court in Omaha. Although the court is in Omaha, the judge in Chicago may hear the case through a video teleconference.

Counts said the administrative immigration hearing would be in "several weeks or one or two months."

He said he has no way of predicting hearing dates because the administrative immigration court resides in a different part of the federal government and sets its own schedule.

"ICE is part of the Department of Homeland Security and the administrative immigration court is part of the Department of Justice," Counts said.

He said the ICE arrests were part of an investigation, but he declined to say why Cloudburst Lawn and Sprinkler was chosen as the site for an immigration enforcement action.

The Independent was unable to contact the owner of Cloudburst on Thursday.

In December 2006, ICE conducted a raid at the Swift plant in Grand Island, arresting 261 people who it believed were in the country illegal. Only one of those arrests was criminal, with the remaining 260 arrests administrative violations.

ICE arrested four more Swift employees this past July.

question about a 12 year old child who has not seen her father
since a toddler.
Her grandfather has helped raise her.
Her father went to court when she was 1 and got some rights
visitation every other weekend.
He dropped the case ,since he started it and decided not to pursue
rights.
He then stopped paying child support.
I know legally this sounds wrong but this was done through lawyers
not a child support agency.
I allowed this to stop because I was concerned about her safety with him. He was going to try and get full right and let his childless sister adopt him.
His son is older and I feel he can voice her feelings a bit more.
I have recently decided to try for child support again.
Since I heard it is the law.
Even though I still have concerns about her safety, this is not
done through lawyers so it doesnt give any custody rights ,yet.
I am trying not to say too much ,but what do you feel about this?
If I am concerned with her safety should I just let it go?

In my humble opinion, ciggerets and liquor is way more dangerous then pot. Statistics show that ciggerets kill thousands of people every year due to lung cancer heart attack, etc, pot has yet to be proven to cause any of these thinks. Statistics also show thousands of people die from alcohol overdose, but yet, you can't overdose on weed no matter how much you smoke. As a matter of fact, the only reason why weed is illegal is because they can't tax it, so people would grow it on their own and not pay taxes on it, not because of what it does to you. Weed also wears off in about 2 hours, so you can drive home sober. If you get tanked at a party, your going to be drunk for the rest of the night, and most people are willing to take the risk to drive home. Alchol can also cause fights and people to becoume violent, not pot. Do you agree with my following statement.

If hezbolah was responsible, why is IRAN being forced into accountability?

Is this a Bush ploy, where his U.S. attorneys and judges cherry pick its lawsuits to help gain hatred against Iran?

If U.S. wants this enforceable, then does that mean that survivors of innocent people killed in Iraq, during the war, can Sue Bush and the U.S. for deaths caused by a war that was fought under unproven circumstances??

No WMD's ever found!
No links to Alqueda in the beginning!
All the pre-war intelligence that was held secret for so long!
And all the intentional mishandlings of the war..
breaking up the army, and causing civil unrest.

If U.S. can sue Iran, then can Iraq sue the U.S.??

the police and i are arranging me to turn myself in for one count of burglary at which point i will be released on bond and have to appear in court. i know this is a felony and i want to get this expunged from my record. I was wondering if it mattered if i had a private attorney or a public defender. i just turned 18, and this is my first offense ever so my goal is to get "youthful offender" status and this be expunged from my record. i am not sure if only an attorney can do that or if a public defender can do that as well since i am not contesting anything my main goal is for a plea bargain where this does not go on my record but i serve my probation time. thanks guys

So our invasion was to pre-empt that move. If this is true, then our underlying ulterior motive for visiting death and destruction on thousands of innocents, not to mention their warm 'n fuzzy despotic dictator, was to postpone the inevitable collapse of the world's 'dollar-based' economy.

Now Iran has abandoned the dollar and is selling oil for Euros.

Based on the above reasoning, do you think this leads to the inevitable conclusion that an attack on, and invasion of, Iran is next on the neo-con's agenda?

Question part II: If by some miracle Ron Paul is elected potus, and our troops are brought back home from every theatre, will we be safer, or at greater risk?

They are responsible for terrorism and the evidence is clear. They are supporting violence in Iraq and if they were not we could leave there peacefully leaving behind a peaceful nation. They are supporting Hezzbolah who is killing innocenet people as well.

So why, instead of invading Iran, don't we simply embargo them. Deny them exports of oil, allow them to receive nothing but food and medical supplies until they stop. And here is the important part - why not tell every country on earth that if you trade with Iran you do not trade with the United States....so who's the better trade partner?

What do they pump into the oil wells to keep them producing .
Water of course .

In the middle east would you pump your water into the oil wells or simply slow production .

The choice between oil and water for the people is obvious .

You give the water to the people right .


Well Bush and big oil have other plans for that water .

Well In september ofd 2006 my dad died He was a resident of Illinois He was kinda mently ill and a really bad alcoholic and wasnt in my life from time i was 7 Its pretty hard to explain how he was But he was really bad he tried to commit suicied but his girlfriend called the cops My dad then threatened the cops with a knife, and they felt they had no choice but to shoot him 3 times with a beanbag shotgun. But the 3 one went through the side of his head and he was in a coma for 4 days. I didn't find out till about a week after. Now My mom and I are sueing the illinois police department under wrongful death. My question is, do you they could have delt with the situtation diffrently. I mean why not use a REAL gun and shoot him in the foot or something? WHY the head. He had a leg injury at the time, and he is pretty small. I don't see why they had to shoot him in the head for him having a knife. PLEASE if you don't have anything supportive to say, don't say it I don't need hurtful comments
