As California governor Gavin Newsom considers whether to sign or veto a bill that would allow undocumented immigrants access to low-cost loans for first-time homes, Republicans across the state are expressing concern over the project. The bill has already passed the California Assembly and Senate with votes largely split along party lines, illustrating the state's Democratic supermajorities.
One of the most vocal critics within the GOP has been Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones, who told Newsweek he believes the bill "sends a message to the rest of the world to come to California, whether legally or illegally."
