Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is backing off from expanding job opportunities and housing for undocumented immigrants ahead of Election Day. 

The Democratic governor recently vetoed legislation that would have allowed major universities across the Golden State, including the University of California and California State University, to hire undocumented students for campus jobs. Newsom’s move to block Assembly Bill 258 will affect roughly 55,000 undocumented students living in the state.
