California Dreaming Act gives higher education hope to illegal aliens
Examiner ^ | September 28, 2010 | Kimberly Dvorak

The Golden State is drowning in budget shortfalls to the tune of $20 billion; Californians’ have done without pay increases, services and increased taxes, however, one sector of the state’s residents that haven’t suffered cuts are illegal aliens. While the DREAM Act may have languished at a national level, it is still on this week’s to do list for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. California’s very own Dream Act comes in the form of Senate Bill 1460 and Assembly Bill 1413 both were approved by the state legislature and are ready for Gov. Schwarzenegger's signature.

California AB 1413 and SB 1460 aka “The Dream Act” – would divert financial aid away from legal California residents and give assistance to illegal aliens. Critics argue the new benefit will only offer more incentives to break the U.S. immigration law.

Early cost estimates of the Dream Act weigh in the neighborhood of $40 million. The bill calls for the state to provide benefits to assist illegal aliens who attend California colleges. Critics argue that this assistance will add to the estimated $90 million a year California taxpayers provide to give illegal aliens in-state tuition benefits... except for one thing- if illegal’s graduate college they still cannot not legally get a job under federal law.

The ramifications of a Gov. Schwarzenegger signature means taxpayers will have to add more money to cover the increase in budgetary expenditures. Some benefits illegal aliens would receive include taxpayer-funded grants and other assistance to offset increasing costs of colleges in California....

Just what CA needs right now. A bunch of victim mentality, you owe me, Chicano Studies graduates.

Just think of the jobs these enterprising yutes will create - NOT!

What a disappointment Ahnold turned out to be. Have I said this too many times?

I remember back when he and Michigan's Canadian-born governess were being touted as reasons to amend the Constitution.

I called this morning, everyone else should: 916-445-2841

Press 1 for English (!!), then 2 for legislation, then wait through a little recital until they say press 3 for SB 1460, then press 2 to oppose it.

The line is busy now, I tried to call again to talk to an apparatchik.

But keep trying. Burn up those lines. This becomes law if Arnie does nothing.
