California Is Set to Approve Government-Subsidized Loans of $150,000 to Help Illegal Aliens Purchase Homes in the US
Kamala Harris is a lifelong California politician, of course.
I saw someone point out that Kamala's DNC speech deliberately omitted naming her home town: Berkeley, California. I sure would like to hear her thoughts on this in an interview with literally any of the 1000 friendly media figures who want to help her win the election. But she's too afraid and too incompetent to sit down even with Jim Acosta.He's as mum about this as his fellow traveler KA-ma-la.
Lawmakers in California could soon make the Golden State the first in the country to make undocumented immigrants eligible for up to $150,000 in state-supported home loans. The Democratic supermajority in the California state legislature is likely to pass a measure this week that would make undocumented immigrants eligible for the "California Dream for All" loan program, a state-funded program that provides 20% in down payment assistance up to $150,000, according to a report for Politico. Participants in the program must be first-time homebuyers, and at least one must be a first-generation homebuyer, while income levels must be below certain limits depending on the county where the recipient lives. The measure comes amid the backdrop of a national election in which immigration has taken center stage, the report notes, with the Trump campaign attempting to tie Vice President Kamala Harris to Biden administration border policies that have proven unpopular with voters. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has been one of President Biden's and now Harris' top surrogates on the campaign trail, has not said whether he will sign the bill into law if it clears the legislature before the Aug. 31 deadline.
... Meanwhile, Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told Politico the bill is "fundamentally unfair but typical Democrat policy."

The loan is one with no interest, and you don't have to pay it back until you sell the home.
And it's for the down payment of up to 20%... so homes up to $750K.

A hundred and fifty grand does not sound like much of a down payment, considering the utterly insane home prices being demanded in CA now. But then, the illegals are nto going to make any payments anyway,

If you are an illegal with any business sense this is a gold mine.
Apply to the program with a dozen fake identities and now you've got a small real estate empire to rent out to people.
Oh and of course this will dramatically raise the cost of housing for people in CA...

I still don't understand the true purpose of this program. No illegal will ever be able to get a mortgage for a new home, making a free 20% subsidy irrelevant. Banks are subject to fairly strict lending requirements. No illegal will qualify.
So what's this program really about? I'm sure it's some kind of graft or slushfund or sleazy way to stuff cash in Democrap donors' filthy pockets. But I'm just not sure how it will work in practice.

So this is an example of yet another White Wing blogger, raging in his basement as he misconstrues everything about a program designed to help our people. It isn't for "illegal aliens." Setting aside that deeply problematic and othering language, this is a general program run by the State of California to help its residents. All they are doing is modifying the acceptance criteria to help those who live in California achieve the American Dream in California.
He also leaves out various conditions for the loan. This is a hand up, not a hand out. The loan is in fact repayable. It is repaid when the property is sold later. The loan is also not "free." A piece of the property's appreciation is remitted to the state when the loan is repaid.
What we have here is a sensible, safe program to promote California's greater social good, which is structured to give both the buyer and the state an interest in the property. This is how you build stable communities and help everyone at once.
Be better, all of you.

Then there are the extra votes, increased voter rolls, and a generally very pliable new electorate.

Unless he has a policy proposal in mind to deal with places like CA and WA who do this crap - like cutting *all* federal funding to "sanctuary" jurisdictions altogether, or punitive measures for spending taxpayer money on illegals - he should just leave it at a simple comment that it's all bullshit.

The GOPe couldn't field a quality candidate if they had 5 years to get primed. They came up with shit. Nothing but shit. Trump is the highest quality candidate to come out of the GOP since Reagan, and he didn't come out of the GOPe.
Non-leftist voters want the opposite of a GOPe candidate. Socially liberal, pro-corporate, and expensive drawn out wars are not going to get you to a majority of the vote.

You are really good at this and should work in political coms! 😂. You left off the part where the pay back is up to 20% on a sliding scale based on income. So not the whole thing.
Sometimes I wonder what channeling the left’s thought processes does to our brains.

I still don't understand the true purpose of this program. No illegal will ever be able to get a mortgage for a new home, making a free 20% subsidy irrelevant. Banks are subject to fairly strict lending requirements. No illegal will qualify.
So what's this program really about? I'm sure it's some kind of graft or slushfund or sleazy way to stuff cash in Democrap donors' filthy pockets. But I'm just not sure how it will work in practice.

Maybe, but the real money's not in paperwork. It's in stealing the $150k. I think more likely the scam will involve doing just that. I'm just not sure how. Possibly they can somehow get their hands on the money before closing, without a bank commitment, without the sale ever closing or being expected to. The "seller" then keeps the deposit.

Free down payments. Must be nice.
And the way this scheme is structured, CA gets paid back when the house is sold. In lieu of interest, the state gets a piece of the appreciation.
So assuming a $500k house, the "buyer" will get $100k for the down payment. He does not have to make payments on that loan. When he sells the house, the $100k is repaid to the state. If the house is now worth $600k, the state gets 20% of the $100k in appreciation, so the total repayment to the state is $120k. Sometime in the future. Eventually.
But what happens during foreclosure? I bet a lot of these end in foreclosure. What happens if there's a market downturn?
Well, then the state doesn't get made whole. The money is just gone. The risk belongs to the state. They take that risk on. For illegals and "first-generation" citizens. This is a *big* handout with lots of balance sheet risks that are wished away through accounting fiction, made available even to those who have been here illegally.
What a program. Makes a man proud to be a Californian, eh?

Have two friends who live together in LA. They pay more for a one bedroom apartment each month than we pay for our four bedroom house payment in Georgia. One of them had to drain his 401K to pay the bills the past two years. Of course, they will never have enough money for a down payment on a home there, ever.
They vote Democratic.
I told then to move to Georgia, but they are in "show biz" and still think they will have their big break someday. They are delusional.

I'm in CA... 150 thousand won't buy you anything.. Is it for down payment on a house ? Hope they can afford the other 600 thousand

"So assuming a $500k house, the "buyer" will get $100k for the down payment. He does not have to make payments on that loan. When he sells the house, the $100k is repaid to the state. If the house is now worth $600k, the state gets 20% of the $100k in appreciation, so the total repayment to the state is $120k. Sometime in the future. Eventually."
Who puts up the money for the rest of the cost of the house? And if the state only gets 20%, the illegal rakes in the rest? Or does that go to pay off the loan?
I don't get it.

This mirrors the plot of one of the most popular Soviet comedies: "Ivan Vasilevich Changes His Profession", where a Russian experimenter creates a time machine, and sends his obnoxious apartment manager back to the court of Ivan the Terrible, and brings Ivan the Terrible to modern-day Moscow. (The apartment manager and Ivan the Terrible were played by the same actor.)

Same as any other property transaction.
You buy a house with 20% down. You sell it later. The lender gets paid out (mortgage is paid off), you pocket the difference. If the property appreciated, you get your down payment back plus the additional.
This is no different, it's just that there's a "silent second" mortgage at origination. Both lenders (in this case, the mortgage lender and the State of California) get paid off, and the difference belongs to the buyer.
So let's take the example above of the $500k house (100% financed, 80/20 with the 20 as a "silent second") that sells for $600k. Assume no repayment at all to keep the math easy. Of that $600k:
- $400k to the mortgage lender (he is paid back)
- $100k to the State of California (it is paid back)
- $20k to the State of California (appreciation sharing requirement)
- $80k to the original borrower/buyer (profit from appreciation)

Another wrinkle is that Prop 13 freezes what the property tax is from when you bought the house and rate increases due to value are limited. Getting an old property into a sale means a big kick in the tax assessment.

It is, and from the same place as the rest of the hole: the capital markets, in two ways.
First is state bonds. CA still sells them and people still buy them.
Second is taxes, which in CA are largely downstream from the capital markets. When the market is hot, CA state government is usually awash in cash as the Silicon Valley guys with loads of stock-based compensation (SBC) cash out. When the market sucks, the tax revenues tend to fall precipitously. CA state revenues are particularly sensitive to the stock market in a way that is not true in other states.

When the market is hot, CA state government is usually awash in cash as the Silicon Valley guys with loads of stock-based compensation (SBC) cash out. When the market sucks, the tax revenues tend to fall precipitously. CA state revenues are particularly sensitive to the stock market in a way that is not true in other states.

that would make undocumented immigrants eligible for the "California Dream for All" loan program, a state-funded program that provides 20% in down payment assistance up to $150,000, according to a report for Politico.
Participants in the program must be first-time homebuyers, and at least one must be a first-generation homebuyer, while income levels must be below certain limits depending on the county where the recipient lives.
Now drop in the kicker.
That "up to $150,000 DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PAID BACK until the house is sold plus 20%".
How many are betting that "loan" will be forgotten about in 20 or 25 years. And if they sell it and don't make $150k +20% free and clear, where's the money coming from to pay the state back?

His lawsuit against ActBlue which he filed in December forced them to turn on verification earlier this month through a court order.
By contrast, Miyares in VA filed a lawsuit against ActBlue a few days before Paxton's lawsuit actually had results.
I think it's easy to see why Paxton is much, much higher in my estimation than someone like Miyares. It's the difference between results and failure theater.
Also, those who believed the negative stories that led to Paxton's impeachment should really consider how gullible they are.

Only traditional lenders like banks and mortgage companies that want to sell the paper on to Fannie Mae. *They* care about standards. The entire subprime market - and in this case, I suspect the "deep subprime" market - is predicated on bending or ignoring the traditional rules.
Which is where I suspect most of profit from this scam winds up. Lenders who are in the club with the CA Party likely have an uncanny ability to "navigate" the program and applicants stacked up three deep for mortgages they have no hope of repaying. Take the down, use it to offset the risk, pocket the big 'ole origination fee, and sell the notes - notes with plenty of equity headroom, thanks to the scam - on to private-label MBS aggregators.

It *might* clear hedge funds' and investment firms' backlog of underwater properties that they bought when there was zero interest, and now they can't move and are having trouble paying that interest and taxes.
Imagine, BlackRock bought up a quarter of a city and has all these houses they can't move and can't rent at what they need to get.
They "sell" the houses, the houses go into arrears, the taxes don't get paid and then they go on the block, eventually, it is now a business loss, and they have a new assessment for the investment. I am sure I am wrong somewhere, but let me know where so I can do this again.

You could do that 20 or possibly even 10 years ago. Don't think you can do it now. Because without real banks and real bank money, you have a hot potato that you can't hand off. Private investors want profit. They aren't going to take highly risky dogshit loans unless they think they can flip them. The marks 20 years ago that these worthless loans were flipped to were huge banks. Banks aren't doing that any more.

Subprime, "shadow bank" lending is still very much alive. The free down payment from CA offsets a ton of the risk involved, and then the bundling and risk waterfall structure work the same way they did in the subprime boom in the early to mid aughts. One of these loans in a special investment vehicle with 99 other loans? Manageable risk. Nobody would bat an eye.

You could do that 20 or possibly even 10 years ago. Don't think you can do it now. Because without real banks and real bank money, you have a hot potato that you can't hand off. Private investors want profit. They aren't going to take highly risky dogshit loans unless they think they can flip them. The marks 20 years ago that these worthless loans were flipped to were huge banks. Banks aren't doing that any more.

Subprime, "shadow bank" lending is still very much alive. The free down payment from CA offsets a ton of the risk involved, and then the bundling and risk waterfall structure work the same way they did in the subprime boom in the early to mid aughts. One of these loans in a special investment vehicle with 99 other loans? Manageable risk. Nobody would bat an eye.

Nah. I'm still of the opinion that not a single illegal will get a home through this program. The graft and scam and pocket-stuffing lies somewhere else in the program; somewhere that does not involve an actual loan or closing on a house.

The loan is one with no interest, and you don't have to pay it back until you sell the home.
And it's for the down payment of up to 20%... so homes up to $750K.

GOPe uses the same fraudsters in open primaries in many states to prevent election of populists. That is why they don't want to crack down on them. They are complicit in voter fraud. Ratshitburger got his job for a reason in GA.
Pretty much the only explanation that fits the observable data in Red states that persist in allowing voter fraud activities by Dems across the US. Wyoming's GOPe governor vetoed a regulation that required proof of living in Wyoming to vote for example.

Most of the recipients will probably not be illegals, but perhaps there will be a non-trivial number. Regardless, though, if this expansion passes then they'll make sure there are a few token illegals who get them, at least, for PR purposes. Otherwise, the same people who are skimming off the current program will continue to skim.
Which is probably the point. The originators who hand out loans subsidized with this program probably have opportunities all lined up with illegals, and want the expansion so they can write more paper and increase their fees.

I swear, all the ink some people sport makes them look like they just emerged from a hog wallow and they did not bother to wash up afterward. It is especially revolting for an otherwise decent looking woman to have destroyed her appearance in that way.

DeSantis and Florida legislature recently passed a bill making hospitals that accept Medicaid are required to ask patients their legal status at admission or in the emergency room.
Not surprisingly, the number of illegals seeking medical care dropped in Florida hospitals immediately afterward despite no criminal penalties attached to the illegals for their answers.

Probably not. It's not a new program, it's a modification to expand the qualification for the program. I haven't seen that the bill also expands *funding* for the program, which means the program will remain essentially the same size that it is today. The only difference is that illegals are suddenly able to qualify for it, which will crowd out non-illegals.
It could, however, cause a shift in allocation within the state. Instead of being largely for Coastal California, access by illegals could move more payments to Interior California (illegals in agricultural labor, for example), which could cause some local distortions. Overall, though, I doubt it will move the needle any more than the original program already has.
That doesn't, however, make it right.

"Biden-Harris national security spokesman John Kirby, asked about the optics of blowing off the commemoration of the 13 dead Afghan servicemen while Trump laid wreaths in their honor: We can never repay them for their sacrifice so we're not even going to fucking bother trying
Gee I guess people should just blow off all funerals and memorials, then. We can never do enough to honor the memory of the fallen, so why fucking even bother. Just stay home and watch TV.
This from the (fake) president who promised the nation that he would always bring us honor and never let us down. Everyone remember how much niceties, graces, and social obligations meant in campaign season 2020? Well Biden's old and tired now so to hell with honor."

Yep. Trump should agree to every condition she wants. If she wants mics on, fine. Trump remained silent over 95 precent of the time Joe spoke in the debate with Joey. Does Kammie have that discipline? I think Trump will be the first one able to say, "I'm speaking now, not you." She wants notes? Fine. Trump will use none and point-out every time she has to shuffle paper and read verbatim from her notes. And so on.

First: yank all of California's federal funding. For everything.
Second: Participants in the program must be first-time homebuyers, and at least one must be a first-generation homebuyer,
Are they going to count the homes they owned or bought in their country of origin? Magic Eight ball says "No"

"Special counsel Jack Smith has charged former President Donald Trump in a superseding indictment in his federal election interference case."
Shocking precisely nobody. Did anyone determine whether he has any authority yet or are we going to just let him ride that one out?

She still won't make any sense. Trump can just sit back and ask why she didn't implement any of her "policies" over the last four years.
He should just dare her to throw Joe under the bus.

The obvious move here is to use an illegal as a front to buy a house and then rent it out.
No down payment rental houses for below market mortgages. Just have to have an arrangement with the illegal frontman. Pay him a few pesos now and then.

Except, oh wait...Detroit only hired 50 Republicans to poll watch. Sure, Whitmer would love to be the candidate in 2028, but the party isn't laxing.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
You left out that Detroit is getting sued over it. State law prohibits what the Dems did there but the RNC is at least proactive enough to sue well before the election day. The RNC is suing Detroit over the conduct of the MI primary election and asking for relief for the fall election. Good lawfare that.
"Under Michigan law, commissioners "shall appoint at least one election inspector from each major political party and shall appoint an equal number, as nearly as possible, of election inspectors in each election precinct from each major political party."

This one is actually showing a little bit of cleft in her blouse, but her boobs aren't hanging out like some of the pictures of internet gals which we have on here and she doesn't need to more fully show her breasts in order to prove she "like totally" supports conservative politics.

The fact that Trump held firm is more likely because he needs the debate less than she does politically. The problem with what the Dems did is that Kamala never got to define herself with voters even at the DNC. Thus, the devastating ads that Trump is hitting her with and her basement campaign relying on media to defend her is not apparently working.
Kallisto remarked that this election seemed more like 1988 and Dukakis than recent ones. Different personality types but both Dukakis and Kamala (even more) were left undefined by conventions focusing on identity instead of policy.

Dukakis defined himself with the photo in a tank and about him not wanting to kill someone who murdered his wife.
You can be the most progressive thing in the world and everyone would understand if you said, "Yes, I would want to kill such a person, but my personal feelings shouldn't be national policy" and slide right by.

Werner is puzzled that no one in the media has yet to mention the contingent of Frau Harris's campaign staff from Miskatonic University. It is not as if they were not prominent during the DNC. One need only look at the campaign platform which, between a pledge to supply every woman with a cat and mandatory free piggy back rides for every undocumented alien which the US citizens must take upon, includes the telling phrase "Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn." along with calls for a volume called the Necrinomicon in every grade school library. When Werner inquired about this, he was told to take it up with the "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred, but he was notably absent. My inquiries about the fleshy appendages eminating from the mouths of the 'Lovecraft Project" members led only to a lecture about respecting the dignity of tentacled-Americans.
Werner ks somewhat confused, uncertain why someone named Dagon is slated to become Secretary of the Navy, or the meaning of someone dreaming in his house R'lyeh such that what is not dead can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die. Has this been focused-grouped, I inquired of the Harris minions? Ach.

Perhaps what I'm missing is that banks only need 10% in reserve, so they can write a check for $400K with only the 20% down payment in reserve ... the rest is they hold the note. So as long as the home holds its value, they come out OK.

Unless inflation raises the price of homes a lot.
Buy $750K home with $150k down.
Want to move in 5 years. Say the price of housing stayed flat. How can you repay the $150k?
And your next home? You don't get $150k again.
