A new bill introduced last month in California could allow illegal immigrants to receive the same benefits as citizens when purchasing a home for the first time.

Assembly Bill 1840, introduced Jan. 16 by Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula, would change existing law to allow illegal immigrants to be eligible for the California Dream for All Fund, which provides loans for a down payment on a home for first-time buyers.
