558-608 Rob Bernabe, ran the residential mortgage divisions at both E*TRADE and H&R Block, and today he runs the Mortgage Workshop at Saddleback (saddleback.com).  His brand new book is Mind Your Own Mortgage: The Wise Homeowner's Guide to Choosing, Managing, and Paying Off Your Mortgage (mindyourownmortgage.com).  Today he explains some of the biggest mistakes people make when getting a home loan.  It all comes down to buying something you can't afford by buying a payment rather than a product.  It's the same psychology as a credit card.  Instead, people need to focus on becoming mortgage free – every loan-owner should know their pay off date, if they don't, they're enslaved to the system.  And if you can't afford a 30 year fixed loan, you can't afford the house.  Period.

628-638(1:34) Felipe Calderon, President of Mexico, gets a standing ovation from Democrats in the House of Representatives yesterday (5/20/2010).

(1:26) Calderon with Wolf Blitzer yesterday (5/20/2010).

BLITZER: So if people want to come from Guatemala or Honduras or El Salvador or Nicaragua, they want to just come into Mexico, they can just walk in?

CALDERON: No. They need to fulfill a form. They need to establish their right name. We analyze if they have not a criminal precedent. And they coming into Mexico. Actually…

BLITZER: Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people they suspect are illegal immigrants?

CALDERON: Of course. Of course, in the border, we are asking the people, who are you?

And if they explain…

BLITZER: At the border, I understand, when they come in.

CALDERON: Yes.

BLITZER: But once they're in…

CALDERON: But not — but not in — if — once they are inside the — inside the country, what the Mexican police do is, of course, enforce the law. But by any means, immigration is [not] a crime anymore in Mexico.

• Hot Air (5/20/2010) Mexican president: Of course we ask immigrants to show their papers.  Let's just enact Mexico's laws here and end this thing.

• Fox News (5/20/2010) Calderon Criticism of Arizona Law Overlooks Mexico's Tough Immigration Policy.  Mexican President Felipe Calderon has been ripping into Arizona's immigration law as he tours Washington -- while appearing to disregard the way his own country cracks down on immigrants along Mexico's southern border

Mexican lawmakers changed that in 2008 to make illegal immigration a civil violation like it is in the United States, but their law still reads an awful lot like Arizona's.

Arizona's policy, which Calderon derided on Wednesday as "discriminatory" and assailed again on Thursday, requires law enforcement to try to determine the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant — provided they are already in contact with that person. They can't randomly stop people and demand papers and the law prohibits racial profiling.

The Mexican law also states that law enforcement officials are "required to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country before attending to any issues."

 644-652 – • Big Journalism (5/21/2010) D.C. Metro Police Escorted SEIU Protesters to Bank Of America Executive's Home.  Where's the "loud, angry mob" byline in the mainstream media about this?  Just imagine if it was Tea Partiers.
