California’s open hatred for the U.S. citizen continues.
The Golden State’s latest plot to siphon away even more federally-granted taxpayer dollars to waste on anti-American gunk comes in the form of Assembly Bill 1840. As if sanctuary cities were not catastrophic enough to the local populace, the bill will expand the application of a first-time mortgage loan plan to include illegal immigrants on the state dime.
“Existing law authorizes moneys deposited into the fund to include, among other moneys, appropriations from the Legislature from the General Fund or other state fund. This bill would specify that an applicant under the program shall not be disqualified solely based on the applicant’s immigration status. By expanding the persons eligible to receive moneys from a continuously appropriated fund, this bill would make an appropriation.”
Before expansion, the California Dream for All program was intended to help lower-income first-time homeowners by granting them a 20% loan that does not grow any interest. If this bill expansion passes, it will push out countless potential first-time homeowners and spike state debt so as to benefit illegal immigrants who wish to suck American sustenance for free.
Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula, who introduced this ludicrous bill, gave the most ridiculous justification: “The social and economic benefits of homeownership should be available to everyone.”
To that, I have one simple question: Why are they actually not available to everyone? Before even considering providing for a bunch of unchecked strangers, California needs to sort through the housing mess of its legal citizenry.
California’s homeless situation is absolutely abysmal. Despite containing 12% of the national population, the Golden State has the largest homeless population, a full 28% of the nation’s total and 51% of the unsheltered homeless population in the U.S. The state government has not provided adequate housing for them, so they are more likely to acquire ailments or die prematurely.
The homeless problem in California is partly caused by the absurd unaffordability of housing in the state. California has by far the highest housing prices in the United States. Its median house price is $843,340, more than double the national median of $394,300. Such awful prices have forced many residents to cohabitate to afford the collective rent and mortgage payments of their homes.

These are just some of the reasons so many Californians have been compelled to migrate out of their state in recent years. California has committed itself to the prioritization of foreign nationals over its own impoverished and unhoused population.
The policies of the negligent rulers of California, if adopted across the country, are the sorts of things that could lead to the slow death of the United States. By blurring the line between citizen and noncitizen and by diluting American culture into nothingness, they would erase all sense of nationhood itself. Giving homes to illegal immigrants is simply the next step in that process.
