Gov. Newsom Vetoes Bill Allowing Undocumented Immigrants Home Loan Access
Citing budget constraints, the California governor rejected legislation expanding mortgage assistance eligibility to undocumented immigrants.
- The bill, introduced by Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula, aimed to include undocumented immigrants in the California Dream for All program.
- Newsom emphasized the lack of funding for the program as the primary reason for his veto.
- Republicans praised the veto, arguing the bill was unfair to legal residents and incentivized illegal immigration.
