California: Project that excites illegal immigrants
In Californiaa bill that could transform the opportunities for undocumented immigrants in the state is now in the hands of Governor Gavin Newsom for final approval.
The proposal, headed by the assemblyman Dr. Joaquin Arambulaseeks to allow undocumented immigrants to have access to the loan program “California Dream for All”which would facilitate the purchase of their first home if they meet the established requirements.
The objective of the project is AB 1840 law is to ensure that undocumented immigrants who have contributed to the state’s economy through taxes and other means, can participate in programs that were previously inaccessible to them due to their immigration status.
This bill does not create a new program nor does it offer additional benefits; it simply opens the door for these people, many of whom have lived and worked in California for decades, can apply for a mortgage loan under the same conditions as other residents.
Dr. Arambula has defended this initiative as a step towards equity and social justice. He argued that it is fair to offer the undocumented immigrants the same opportunities as any other eligible resident.
“AB 1840 is about equity”Arámbula said, stressing that many of these immigrants have already proven to be responsible citizens by fulfilling their tax obligations.
