Winston-Salem Journal
Washington -- Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-5th, has proposed legislation that would require more checks to prevent illegal immigrants from getting federally guaranteed loans.
Foxx proposed an amendment to immigration legislation under consideration this week. The proposal came after Foxx learned that a man, who police say is living in the country illegally, bought a home in Winston-Salem with a $123,000 loan guaranteed by the federal government. The man also is accused in several rapes in the Triad.
Gilberto Cruz Hernandez, 24, has been arrested and charged in connection with a string of rapes and sexual assaults in Winston-Salem, High Point and Greensboro. He is being held in the Forsyth County Jail with bond set at $3 million.
