Pelosi on Helping Undocumented Immigrants Buy Houses: ‘Making the American Dream of Home Ownership Available to All People Is Something We Have To Do’

The California lawmakers just passed a law, it hasn’t been signed by Governor Newsom, but giving government assistance to undocumented immigrants to buy houses. That’s kind of a different place than the Democratic Party used to be on immigration, is it not? Like I say, that’s what the country’s going to do, but that’s certainly where California is. Well, let me just say, immigration had always been a bipartisan issue. I refer you to the.. But not free houses. Well, that’s not free housing. It’s the American dream, being available to more people. But understand this about immigration. The best speech on immigration was by President Ronald Reagan. This is the last speech I will make as president of the United States. I want to communicate a message to the country I love. And he talked about the Statue of Liberty and the beacon of hope it is to the world, and what America was preeminent in the world because our door was always open. And we will cease to be preeminent when we shut the door. Now, I don’t do justice to the great communicator. Google it. It’s a fabulous speech. And George Herbert Walker Bush continued in that respect for the diversity of America and the rest. California’s Always in the lead. Maybe others will follow that lead, but that’s up to those states. But we are very blessed here with beautiful diversity. So you’d vote for this law? Excuse me? So you’d vote for this law? Well, I’m not familiar with exactly what that is, but making the American dream of home ownership available to all people is something we have to do for people who are here now. This is before you, this is undocumented. This is for the undocumented. Well, what I would like to do is move them to documented. The fact that I can move them to documented. One of the best things that we can do for our economy is to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
