Tejada, a first generation immigrant from Guatemala, isn't going to college. If that was ever the American dream, it isn't hers. She's going into home buying. Her older brother also bought a house. Indeed part of the reason she bought her house so young was that she wanted to beat her brother, who bought his house at the age of 21. She is very happy about the fact that her friends seem impressed that she owns a home.

There have been many articles in the Wallstreet Journal and other publications in recent past 08 regarding Acorn helping illegal immigrants to get gov't backed loans. Acorn was going so far as to go door to door in hispanic communities putting fliers on the doors offering help for illegals to obtain homeownership.

wow...2400 per month income and paying 1300 per month for mortgage? thats crazy! About 12 years ago, I was making about $2400 per month and paying $615 per month in rent but I had some months where I was having to borrow 100 bucks here and there from family. I'm pretty sure that she MUST have a roommate and this article is embelishing. With her weight, she must spent alot of money on food and I doubt she has ever made a month budget or even ever tracked all her expenses for 1 month.
No way someone with $2400 per month gross income is able to make those payments unless she has no TV, no internet, no electricity, no gas and only eats rice and beans to live on (and judging by her weight we can guess she doesnt eat the bare minimum.
