That's good right?
Why would you want a bill specifically helping undocumented immigrants buy houses?
If I'm wrong I'd like to know why.
Certain people will be all in these comments saying it's discriminatory or unfair this almost happened and now didn't...it's not.
If you're undocumented and even here so long and this is your life...etc. That's one thing.
Expecting to be rewarded for that when others are not is not going to fly with the right or left. It's an insane proposition to begin with that focuses on a certain subject of the population, and then step further because they are not officially the population. Kind of a snub to others.
Not rewarding anybody. Read the article
Another article also said that aid would be given based on a lottery-type drawing. Seems a bit silly and also lotteries typically work by giving less than you get. How about encouraging naturalization and awarding aid to someone recently naturalized? I'm not in the camp of saying to hell with helping undocumented immigrants but if you're going to call them out specifically I think the focus should be on naturalization or helping them become documented.
