While the California proposal targets prospective homebuyers and not new migrants, it could nonetheless carry a political risk for Harris by providing fodder for Trump as he seizes on anything that could link his opponent to the border crisis. [...] At the federal level, Harris herself is pushing a Biden administration proposal to provide up to $25,000 in down payment assistance to first-time, first-generation homeowners, though undocumented immigrants would not qualify under federal law.
