Here is background on the bill.
All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray...
"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...
Citizenship should be required for ANY public service paid for by taxpayers. Not satisfied with stealing an basic education for their kids (mostlhy in Spanish at that), illegals now want to steal a college education. Lovely.
Glad Ahhhnold terminated it.
Excellent!
This was the "financial aid to illegal immigrants" bill passed by the CA socialist Leftist Legislature and Arnold VETOED it!!!
I bet Angelides would sign it.
Good news!
Let me guess: Angie will claim that he'll use the National Guard to make Arnold change his mind...
From the Legislative Counsel Analysis of SB 1534, Public benefits. (Senators Ortiz and Alarcon)
Federal law, Section 411 of the federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), provides that certain persons are not eligible for defined state and local public benefits unless a state law is enacted subsequent to the effective date of the act, August 22, 1996, that affirmatively provides for that eligibility.From the Senate Floor Analysis(snip)
This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to affirm the ability of counties, cities, and hospital districts, at their own discretion, to provide health care and other services to all residents. The bill would authorize any city, county, city and county, or hospital district to provide aid, including health care, to persons who, but for the above-referred to provision of the federal PRWORA, would meet the eligibility requirements for any program of that entity.
(snip)
PRWORA prohibits states and counties from providing free or discounted nonemergency health care to the undocumented, but authorizes states to provide additional public benefits to this population as follows:
A State may provide that an alien who is not lawfully present in the U.S. is eligible for any State or local public benefit for which such alien would otherwise be ineligible under subsection (a) [which excludes them] of this section only through the enactment of a State law after August 22, 1996 which affirmatively provides for such eligibility.
According to the author, this bill provides the reaffirmation allowed under federal law.

Ah-nuhld's done good on this one.
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

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:
