Schwarzenegger vetoes California Dream Act
CA Governor's web site ^ | September 30, 2006 | Arnold Schwarzenegger

Posted on 09/30/2006 6:33:12 PM PDT by ruination

To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 160 without my signature.

I applaud all young people who work hard, graduate high school and attend college.

Current law allows undocumented students who have attended a California high school for three years and graduate from a California high school to attend a state college and get a reduced “in state tuition rate” but not be eligible for public financial aid dollars. California has over 100,000 students here legally who apply annually for financial aid to attend college, and our state has limited funds available for this important purpose.

While I do not believe that undocumented children should be penalized for the acts of their parents, this bill would penalize students here legally by reducing the financial aid they rely on to allow them to go to college and pursue their dreams.

For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,

Arnold Schwarzenegger

A veto of SB 1534 would've been nice but at least it preserves local municipalities to act "at their own discretion" which is a good thing: LOCAL CONTROL.

(Angelides would) require the bill to be in Spanish.

Are you certain the governator was speaking English? What I heard was:

"I ham returnink Zenate Bill Vun-zixtee wit-hout my zignacher.

But hey, the guy's only been here for thirty-something years.

More people better become aware of these illegal expenses. Just this weekend, at a local flea market, a Mexican woman walked by holding a baby and trailed by three little stairsteps. All were chattering in Spanish and when spoken to by the vendors in English just smiled and shrugged--they didn't speak English. I would bet that at least two or maybe all those four children were American citizens--just two parents came here illegally, but produced four Spanish speaking citizen offspring. They don't want to BE American, just be here to enjoy the goodies. Given 1 million ilegals times 4 in about 6 years= 4 million Spanish speaking CITIZENS who can't be shipped back to Mexico.

Mexico has a back-up quasi amnesty plan... Officials there are about to submit to the president-elect a proposal allowing individual U.S. states to negotiate immigration pacts with Mexican regions for the "temporary" visits of Mexicans in the USA (among other perks and favors that seemingly do little for us up here, or for the struggling pro-entrepreneurial reform movement in Mexico).

Entregarán senadores a Calderón propuesta de reforma migratoria

La propuesta elaborada en la pasada Legislatura por el entonces diputado federal del PRI, Roberto Pedraza, contempla una reforma que permita a las entidades federativas de México signar acuerdos regionales con sus homólogos de EU para la contratación de migrantes
Notimex

Ciudad de México
Domingo 1 de octubre de 2006
09:42 Senadores del PRI entregarán al presidente electo, Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, una propuesta de reforma migratoria mediante la cual podrían evitarse cientos de muertes de mexicanos y terminar con el tráfico de indocumentados.
La propuesta elaborada en la pasada Legislatura por el entonces diputado federal del Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), Roberto Pedraza Martínez, contempla una reforma que permita a las entidades federativas de México signar acuerdos regionales con sus homólogos de Estados Unidos para la contratación de migrantes.
“Intentamos desde el Senado revivir esta iniciativa denominada Por Una Migración Ordenada entre México y Estados Unidos, mejor conocida como 10-2 y 5-1 la cual se encuentra guardada en el algún escritorio de la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores desde hace tres años”, lamentó su autor.
El ahora senador suplente dijo en entrevista que se prevé el consenso de más senadores de todos los partidos para entregar la propuesta al presidente electo e impulsar desde el principio de su administración una verdadera agenda nacional en el tema migratorio.
La propuesta establece que además de los acuerdos regionales o interestatales, se promovería la “certificación” de los emigrantes mexicanos, para evitar que se les acuse de delincuentes y con ello también acabar con las bandas de “polleros”.
“El sexenio del presidente Fox fue el de las cuentas alegres en materia migratoria y al final terminas con la construcción de un nuevo muro, vigilado por militares”, expuso Pedraza Martínez.
Deploró que la iniciativa elaborada por diputados federales y consensuada por toda la Cámara de Diputados en la LIX Legislatura haya sido desechada primero por el titular del Ejecutivo y después por el canciller Luis Ernesto Derbez.
Recordó que la propuesta del Congreso mexicano establecía la “certificación de migrantes”, la posibilidad de realizar convenios migratorios entre estados de los dos países, un esquema de trabajo temporal y el pago de fianzas que garanticen que los trabajadores mexicanos regresen al país.
“Se dilapidaron seis años de la actual administración en reuniones de presidentes de ambos países en sus ranchos, de diálogos de amigos, de impulsar el endurecimiento de las medidas migratorias, pero no en una verdadera reforma en el tema que frene las más de 500 muertes de mexicanos en la frontera común”, agregó.

Notice how the Mexican immigration reform proposals do absolutely nothing to erradicate any of the officially sanctioned racism embodied in Mexico's own immigration laws against us gringos? For more details on how much more strict Mexico's immigration laws are against us than ours are against them:

This thread is a year old.
He did however veto this again this year, one of the few things he did right.

Notwithstanding, I’d like to see him out of Sacramento and Government—permanently.
