Claim: “Kamala Harris wants to give $25,000 to illegal aliens to buy American homes.” (J.D. Vance, 2024-08-16)
Evidence (2024-06-26): Press Call by Vice President Harris Announcing New Action on Housing [...] This investment is part of a larger strategy to lower rents and help more Americans buy a home. President Biden and I have proposed a national housing plan to build 2 million units of affordable housing. Our plan will also help millions of families afford to buy their first home. We will give folks who are the first in their family — first generation in their family to buy a home $25,000 for a down payment, and we’ll give millions of first-time homebuyers $400 a month to help them meet their mortgage.

Evidence (2024-10-04): "The fine print on Harris’s 25K for first time home buyers; if your mother, father, brother, sister has ever owned a home you are NOT eligible," reads text in the post's image, a screenshot of a TikTok post. "Pretty much a program exclusively for illegals, and YOU’RE going to pay for it." [...] "We also know that as the price of housing has gone up, the size of down payments have gone up as well. Even if aspiring homeowners save for years, it often still is not enough," Harris said, according to a White House transcript. "So, in addition, while we work on the housing shortage, my administration will provide first-time homebuyers with $25,000 to help with the down payment on a new home." Harris’ campaign website has a similar description, indicating she would "provide first-time homebuyers with up to $25,000 to help with their down payments, with more generous support for first-generation homeowners." Her campaign also released a statement in August that says the down payment assistance would be available to working families who have paid their rent on time for two years.

Evidence (2024-08-07): Vance said Harris failed as "America’s border czar," attaching a title to her — as Trump has as well — that is not accurate. "Kamala Harris is America’s border czar," Vance said in Virginia, "and how’s our border doing, ladies and gentlemen? She hasn’t talked to the chief of Border Patrol a single time in her entire tenure as border czar. Remember, on her very first day in office, she and Biden suspended deportations, they stopped construction of the border wall, and they reimplemented catch and release. The border crisis is a Kamala Harris crisis." [...] His other claim that Biden and Harris would "rather buy oil and gas from tin-pot dictators" than "American workers" is also misleading.

Evidence (2024-08-22): How Kamala Harris’ plan to give first-time homeowners $25K could backfire [...] Her signature housing policy calls for up to $25,000 in federal down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers who have paid their rent on time for at least two years. That dramatically expands on Biden’s prior proposal for a $10,000 tax credit for first-time buyers, which had limited additional down-payment assistance to first-generation homebuyers. [...] The Trump campaign also quickly slammed the proposal, with Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance claiming "Kamala Harris wants to give $25,000 to illegal aliens to buy American homes."

Evidence (2024-08-16): JD Vance’s False claim that Harris wants to give immigrants in the US illegally $25,000 for homes [...] Providing little detail, Vice President Kamala Harris pledged to provide up to $25,000 in down payment assistance for "working families who have paid their rent on time for two years and are buying their first home." [...] "Kamala Harris wants to give $25,000 to illegal aliens to buy American homes," the Ohio Republican wrote Aug. 16 on X. "This will only further exacerbate the housing shortage in our country. It's a disgrace. We should be making it easier and more affordable for American citizens to buy homes."

Evidence (2024-08-23): Her signature housing policy calls for up to $25,000 in federal down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers who have paid their rent on time for at least two years. That dramatically expands on Biden’s prior proposal for a $10,000 tax credit for first-time buyers, which had limited additional down-payment assistance to first-generation homebuyers. [...] The Trump campaign also quickly slammed the proposal, with Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance claiming "Kamala Harris wants to give $25,000 to illegal aliens to buy American homes." It is unclear whether the Harris plan would have a citizenship requirement, but immigrants present in the country unlawfully are not eligible to apply for traditional, or "conforming," mortgages. Depending on how the program was administered, that could also make them ineligible for federal assistance with a down payment.

Evidence (2024-08-16): First-time homebuyers and working families could see up to $25,000 in assistance on down payments, according to a plan set to be unveiled by the Kamala Harris campaign on Friday. But some economists and housing experts expressed skepticism that the proposal would address the crux of the current housing crisis — namely, that there's too much demand for not enough supply. Ahead of a speech in North Carolina on Friday, the Harris-Walz campaign released its first economic policy agenda, focused on lowering costs for American families. Among the ideas floated in the proposal is giving $25,000 to more than a million first-time buyers who have a history of making their rent payments on time. [...] The Harris plan is essentially an expanded version of a proposal set forth by President Biden, which would earmark $25,000 in down-payment assistance for 400,000 first-generation home buyers plus a $10,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers. The Harris campaign says its proposal would benefit four million first-time buyers over the next four years.

Evidence (2024-10-01): Public county data doesn’t separate case numbers by city or demographics, so public health experts cautioned against tying changes in case rates to immigrants. When discussing immigrants in the U.S. more broadly, Vance mischaracterized one of Harris’ proposals, saying she "wants to give $25,000 to illegal aliens to buy American homes." But Vance is filling in blanks about a proposal that we know little about. Harris has not detailed her plan or said who would qualify for this first-time homebuyer assistance. Walz’s attacks on Vance and Project 2025 Like Harris, Walz routinely works in warnings about Trump and Vance embracing proposals from Project 2025, even though the Trump-Vance campaign has distanced itself from the 900-page policy manual for the next Republican administration. Walz said Vance "literally wrote the foreword for the architect of the Project 2025 agenda." This is True. Vance wrote the foreword for Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts’ forthcoming book, "Dawn’s Early Light." The Heritage Foundation led the network of groups that created the policy handbook.

Evidence (2024-08-15): Felicia Wong, chief executive of Roosevelt Forward, a progressive advocacy group, said Harris' proposals would require new spending. "The good news is that we certainly have that money in our country," Wong said. [...] Harris' plan would give unspecified tax incentives to homebuilders for houses geared to first-time buyers and for affordable rental housing. She proposed a $40 billion fund to help local governments finance developments, up from a $20 billion proposal from the Biden White House. Like all spending, these proposals would depend on Congress being willing to fund them. Harris said she would ask Congress to give first-time homeowners up to $25,000 toward their down payments — a plan that her campaign said could help more than 4 million first-time buyers. That is more generous than a plan Biden announced in this year’s State of the Union address that would have given first-time homebuyers a $10,000 tax credit, and help about 400,000 first-generation homebuyers with down-payment assistance.

Evidence (2024-08-15): Vice President Kamala Harris will propose an ambitious proposal to give first-time home buyers up to $25,000 in down payment support as part of her economic platform, which Harris is scheduled to provide details about on Friday in North Carolina. [...] Harris is characterizing her plan as a simplified and expanded version of President Joe Biden’s proposal for $25,000 in down-payment aid explicitly for 400,000 first-generation home buyers and a $10,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers. [...] Few details about the down payment assistance program were released in the email, including further eligibility requirements and how much more support first-generation homeowners could receive. It also does not state exactly what mechanism would be behind the up to $25,000 of support, though the Biden administration’s proposal was in the form of a tax credit.

Evidence (2024-09-06): Up to $25,000 in down-payment support for first-time buyers Harris is proposing the government provide up to $25,000 in assistance for first-time buyers. Her plan says that support will be available to working families who have paid their rent on time for two years and are buying their first home. [...] While that supply is being built, Lincicome thinks Harris’s first-time homebuyer support would push up demand and lead to a spike in prices.
Claim: “Kamala Harris wants to give $25,000 to illegal aliens to buy American homes.” (J.D. Vance, 2024-08-16)
Evidence (2024-10-06): Assembly Bill 1840, authored by Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula (D-Fresno), would expand eligibility of the California Dream for All program, to be renamed under the bill to the Home Purchase Assistance Program, and remove any disqualifications based on an applicants immigration status. If approved, illegal immigrants can enter the lottery system under the program that gives 20% in down payment assistance up to $150,000. This year, out of 18,000 people who applied to the California Dream for All program, only 1,700 were chosen. The bill would greatly expand the number of applicants, due to the California Dream program targeting low to middle income first time buyers. [...] Opponents of the bill, including GOP and moderate Democrat lawmakers, quickly urged Newsom to veto the bill. The number grew quickly throughout the week, with Senate Republicans even sending the Governor a letter urging him not to sign the bill. Some Democrats on the more national scope have also urged him not to sign, as Vice President Kamala Harris supports a Biden proposal that would give $25,000 for down payments for first-time, first-generation home owners, with illegal immigrants being specifically excluded because of federal law. Newsom signing AB 1840 would suddenly put him at odds over both her and Donald Trump, with the latter’s campaign calling the bill "fundamentally unfair but typical Democrat policy."

Evidence (2024-08-18): Kamala Harris is promising up to $25,000 in down payment support for first-time homebuyers, and Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance took a bizarre swipe at the proposal. [...] "The Biden-Harris administration proposed providing $25,000 in down payment assistance for 400,000 first-generation home buyers -- or homebuyers whose parents don’t own a home -- and a $10,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers," the Harris campaign said. "This plan will significantly simplify and expand the reach of down-payment assistance, allowing over 1 million first time-buyers per year – including first-generation home buyers – to get the funds they need to buy a house when they are ready to buy it," the Harris campaign said. [...] "Kamala Harris wants to give $25,000 to illegal aliens to buy American homes," Vance posted on X. "This will only further exacerbate the housing shortage in our country. It's a disgrace. We should be making it easier and more affordable for American citizens to buy homes."

Evidence (2024-08-29): If passed, California would become the first state to grant undocumented immigrants state-supported home-buying loans. [...] "For every dollar going to an illegal immigrant, that’s a dollar that isn’t going to a veteran or a legal California citizen that also qualify," State Senator Brian Jones, the GOP Minority Leader, said. "There isn’t an unending amount of money the state has for these homebuyer program." [...] Harris has also backed a modest federal home down payment grant proposal, which excludes undocumented immigrants.

Evidence (2024-09-10): Open-border czar Harris is a proponent of giving free health care to illegal immigrants even as she claims to prioritize the middle class; however, her ideas would only add to the already hefty price tag that American taxpayers must shoulder. [...] - Harris wanted to create a new tax-based housing subsidy for renters. This would only further increase housing prices and hold taxpayers responsible for yet another failed Big Government endeavor. [...] - This would provide a tax credit of up to $25,000 to first-time homebuyers, further boosting demand for home ownership and lead to higher home prices.

Evidence (2024-09-27): Kamala Harris’s proposal offers up to $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time and first-generation homebuyers, aiming to boost homeownership, particularly among immigrants and disadvantaged communities. Homeownership has long been a cornerstone of the American Dream, symbolizing stability, wealth-building, and a sense of belonging. However, for many immigrant families, achieving this dream can feel out of reach due to high upfront costs like down payments and closing fees. Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent proposal to provide up to $25,000 in down payment assistance aims to make homeownership more attainable for first-time and first-generation homebuyers. This initiative is particularly significant for immigrant communities, who often face unique barriers in the housing market. [...] Kamala Harris’s $25,000 down payment assistance proposal represents a significant opportunity for immigrant families to achieve the dream of homeownership. By providing targeted financial support, this initiative addresses some of the key barriers that have kept many immigrants from buying homes. It builds on previous efforts to make the housing market more inclusive and equitable, offering a concrete pathway for immigrants to build wealth, gain stability, and fully participate in American life. For immigrant families, this proposal could be the key to unlocking the doors to their own homes and, by extension, their future in the United States.

Evidence (2024-08-22): Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris laid out her economic plans Friday during a visit to Raleigh, North Carolina, including offering up to $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-generation homebuyers. [...] The proposal includes $25,000 in downpayment assistance for 400,000 first-generation homebuyers, defined as those whose parents do not own a home. To qualify, these families must have a history of paying rent on time for at least two years. Additionally, the plan offers a $10,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers. Harris also promised to ban price gouging on food and ensure salaries are "enough to provide you and your family with a good quality of life." Another proposal would reinstate the expanded child tax credit of $3,600 per child.

Evidence (2024-08-26): California Dems want to help undocumented immigrants buy homes – during presidential race [...] Harris, in her DNC acceptance speech Thursday said the country can "live up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants, and reform our broken immigration system." 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.

Evidence (2024-08-15): Vice President Kamala Harris plans to announce Friday what her campaign is describing as a four-year plan to lower housing costs, including $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homeowners and actions aimed at spurring the construction of new housing, including tax incentives for building starter homes. [...] The plan promises to provide up to $25,000 in down-payment support for first-time home buyers. The down-payment support would apply to working families who have paid rent on time for two years, with more generous support for first-time home buyers. The plan, which would be implemented during Harris’ first term, according to the campaign, would also provide a $10,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers, something Biden proposed earlier this year. According to the Harris campaign, the plan would allow for over 1 million first-time buyers per year, including first-generation home buyers, to access the funds.

Sen. JD Vance, former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick, attacked Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign pledge to ease the burden costly down payments put on first-time homebuyers.

Evidence (2024-08-27): Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign’s national press secretary, in a statement said that "Kamalanomics" is to blame for home ownership becoming less attainable, an attempt to undermine Harris’ message of being a change candidate who can open up opportunities for the middle class. Trump’s main play has been to claim that Harris can’t pay for her housing agenda. That’s even though he also attacks her for supporting tax increases and other revenue raisers proposed by Biden that could in theory offset the costs. "She has no clue how’d she paid for $25,000 to every first-time homebuyer, including illegals," said Trump at an August 19 rally in York, Pennsylvania, claiming without clear evidence that her policy would support immigrants without legal status. The Harris campaign plans to hold housing affordability events in the Pennsylvania cities of Lancaster, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, as well as the Arizona cities of Phoenix and Tucson. There will also be events in the Nevada cities of Las Vegas and Reno and the North Carolina cities of Asheville and Charlotte, in addition to Savannah, Georgia.

Evidence (2024-07-02): If you’ve been forced to spend time around conservatives at any point in the last several years, you’re probably aware that they live in a completely different version of reality than normal people. It’s impossible to keep up with all the insane things they believe, and unfortunately, the latest obviously fake rumor involves cars. Specifically, the claim that Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky’s wife bought a Bugatti Tourbillon, which only just got unveiled and won’t enter production for another two years. That, of course, didn’t happen, but you just know it’s going to come up at your family’s 4th of July celebration. You, a normal enough person, are going to do something innocuous like grabbing another ice-cold Coors to wash down that pulled-pork sandwich, and your crazy uncle is going to randomly go off about how we’re wasting billions of dollars helping Ukraine, and Zelensky’s just using it to make himself rich. His wife even bought the new Bugatti! They’re so corrupt, so we should just let Russia win.

Evidence (2024-07-03): No, Zelensky’s Wife Did Not Buy a Bugatti With American Tax Dollars A viral social media post by Jackson Hinkle, a prominent pro-Russian commentator with 2.6 million followers on X, claims that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s wife used American taxpayer money to purchase a multimillion-dollar luxury sports car. Hinkle’s claim is false: Olena Zelenska did not purchase a Bugatti. Hinckle deleted his post on Wednesday afternoon, minutes before this fact check was published, but not before it had been viewed more than 7.2 million times.
