California moves ahead with $0 downpayment 'loans' for new homes for illegal immigrants
2024-08-21
[POSTMILLENNIAL] The Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Senate Appropriations Committee has moved full speed ahead to allow illegal immigrants colonists the opportunity to make use of the state's zero-money-down, no-payment, "loan" program for buying a home. The move from the state chamber comes amidst the ongoing illegal immigration crisis at the southern border.

According to The Center Square, bill author Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula, D-Fresno wrote of the bill, ''The social and economic benefits of homeownership should be available to everyone. As such, the California Dream for All Program should be available to all."

''When undocumented individuals are excluded from such programs, they miss out on a crucial method of securing financial security and personal stability for themselves and their families," it added.

Bill AB1840 has already passed the state Assembly and will now move onto the floor of the Senate for a vote. The program allows for applicants to get "loans" for up to 20 percent of their home's price, with zero down payment on the loan and no payments on the loan.

The "loan" can then possibly be repaid back when the home is refinanced, sold, or transferred with the borrower paying back the loan amount in addition to 20 percent of any increased value on the real estate. However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
it is not clear what happens if a family decides to keep the property long term as no provision sets a limit on how long the loan can be used.

The California Appropriations Committee analysis stated that there would be "unknown significant cost pressures, potentially in the millions annually, to provide additional funding for the Home Purchase Assistance Program to accommodate the expanded eligibility population.''

18,000 people have applied for the "loan" program costing $255 million through lottery, with 1,700 winners getting $150,000 each to go towards down payments as well as closing.

A compassionate smile. "To be freed
From your hellscape of envy, er, need,
Of late-Marxist preening,
Self-hatred, and greening,
Grasshopper, means owning your greed.
And of course mine and everyone else's."
"Like, in common?"
Milton wept.

Or was all that posturing just setting up Friedman's spike? Off to watch the whole thing...

Everyone in the whole, wide world, right? The people who run this state want to provide housing for everyone in the whole, wide world. Nevermind the impact that will have on the people who already live here. When the Democrats are done with this state nobody will want to live here.
