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.
  • Supporters of the bill argued it would help hard-working families build generational wealth.
  • The California Dream for All program offers up to $150,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers.
