A bill now heads to Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk which makes illegal immigrants eligible for California’s Home Purchase Assistance Program, allowing First-Time Home Buyers to get up to $150,000 in interest-free loans for a home down payment.
On Wednesday, Democrats in California passed the Assembly Bill 1840 (53-18) in the state Assembly and (25-14) in the Senate, which allows illegal immigrants to apply for the California Dream for All Shared Appriciation Loans program. This program offers no-interest loans of up to $150K to cover down payments and fees.
Once again, Democrats are showing they represent the interest of foreigners who are not even supposed to be here in the first place. Republican Assembly members took the position on Wednesday that the bill’s inclusion of illegal immigrants would unfairly take away loans from U.S. Citizens.
Democrats are so delusional that Assemblymember Isaac Bryan (D-Los Angeles) said he believes California can focus on their immigrant population and take care of their native born population.
According to LA Times, Assemblymember Tom Lackey (R-Palmdale) said, “What is not right is, you are going to overshadow many eligible people who really, really, really are having difficulty themselves.”
Home prices are already high due to a shortage and Assembly Bill 1840 is only going to increase the demand for houses, which will lead to an even higher increase of prices. U.S. Citizens are going to have to compete against illegal immigrants for a home in a housing market that desperate for more supply.
This is not fair and it is not right.
Another argument made by Assemblymember Kate A. Sanchez (R-Rancho Santa Margarita) was that the program is going to incentive “more illegal, not legal, immigration into this state.”
As she said, “this isn’t rocket science. If you’re giving out free stuff, more people are going to come.”
Another Republican Assemblymember Bill Essayli said, “it’s a slap in the face to legal immigrants when we incentivize the breaking of our laws and the normalizing of being in this country unlawfully.”
He’s right.
What we must do instead is call for immigration moratorium to close our borders for 10 years.
Democrats have made the borders wide open, allowing millions of people to come into our country, and now the state of California is creating a huge incentive for those who came here illegally to come to California.
“I didn’t know it was possible to make the border crisis and the housing crisis worse with just one vote, but Democrats found a way,” said Republican Assemblymember Leader James Gallagher. “Giving taxpayer-funded housing subsidies to illegal immigrants will drive costs even higher and encourage more chaos at the border.”
If California Democrats truly represent the interests of U.S. Citizens, and not illegal immigrants, they would instead be funding the Mass Deportation of illegal immigrants in their state.
As we can see, they would rather advocate for illegal immigrants and pass a bill that will worsen the housing shortage issue we face today.
Ken Johnson, professor of finance and the Walker Chair of Real Estate at the University of Mississippi, warns that offering widespread down payment assistance would be like “throwing gasoline on an already on-fire housing market".
He’s one of several economists who spoke to Realtor.com, and he cautioned that Harris’ plan could backfire by stoking demand in an already hot housing market, driving home prices even higher.
In conclusion, this bill will distort and destroy California’s housing market, cause home prices to skyrocket, potentially increase illegal immigration which will add more artificial demand, and have U.S. Citizens in California foot the bill.
The question remains if Kamala Harris is going to copy and paste this bill into her $25k Housing Policy.
Will Kamala give Free Homes For Illegal Immigrants Under her 25K Housing Policy?
U.S. Nationalist, those who believe that U.S. Citizens should come first, must come together and loudly denounce Kamala and her Democrats’ push to represent the interests of foreigners who are not even supposed to be here in the first place.
