Former Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi celebrated a bill that would allow illegal immigrants to buy homes with taxpayer loans in her home state of California.
“Making the American dream of homeownership available to all people is something we have to do,” the Bay Area congresswoman said in a Friday interview with Bill Maher.
Pelosi was responding to a question about state lawmakers passing a bill last week to expand eligibility for a government program which offers residents home down payment assistance. Under Assembly Bill 1840, the California Housing Finance Authority would be compelled to consider applications from illegal immigrants for the “Dream for All Program.” The fund gives first-time homebuyers loan assistance of up to 20 percent of a property’s value with a cap of $150,000. Buyers then pay back the loan plus up to 20 percent of any property appreciation depending on income.
“Giving government assistance to undocumented immigrants to buy houses,” Maher told Pelosi, is “kind of a different place than the Democratic Party used to be on immigration.”
“Immigration had always been a bipartisan issue,” Pelosi said.
“But not free houses,” Maher responded.
“Well it’s not free housing,” Pelosi added, “it’s making the American dream available to more people.”
Nancy Pelosi states that the goal of the Democrat party is to convert undocumented immigrants (illegals) into documented immigrants:
