Gavin Newsom Kills California Bill to Give Home Loans to Illegal Immigrants
September 6th, 2024Is it possible that there’s a limit to Gavin Newsom’s madness? More likely, this looked very bad right before the election and it will come back later.
Via: Politico:
Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill on Friday that would have made some undocumented immigrants eligible for up to $150,000 in state-backed home loans, rejecting a proposal that ignited criticism from the right as immigration has become a major tension point in the election.
The Democratic governor’s veto comes a day after former President Donald Trump said he would ban undocumented immigrants from receiving home mortgages if he returns to the White House. It also takes the issue off the table ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris’ first scheduled debate against Trump next week. Karoline Leavitt, a Trump campaign spokesperson, described the California bill last month as “fundamentally unfair but typical Democrat policy.”
Newsom cited funding concerns in his veto message.
“It also takes the issue off the table ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris’ first scheduled debate against Trump next week.”
Maybe the real goal was to create an issue they could back off from later, giving the impression that they chose to do the right thing as well as wasting everyone’s time in discussing this instead of the real issues that are still there.
