One state lawmaker from the southland is taking another shot at helping undocumented California college students pay for their education.
Democratic Assemblyman Gil Cedillo of Los Angeles Tuesday re-introduced a state version of the federal "DREAM Act" which was shot down by Congress last month.
Cedillo's previous attempt to help illegal immigrant students obtain financial aid was vetoed three different times by then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who cited the state's financial crisis as his reasoning.
If approved, the measure would give undocumented college students in the Golden State the opportunity to vie for Cal grants and other means of financial aid.

Maybe not. The Crats being pro-illegal was only to seize power. They now have a lock on CA, all state offices. If they keep on doing what they did they will go bankrupt and lose power. They really don't want that. They've got the golden goose strapped down under their total control but they know not to completely kill it. What do they need more Democrat voters for at this point? Democrats now outnumber Republicans almost 2 to 1. There is no payback buying more Democrat voters at this point, only certain loss of power.
As much as we dislike what Arnold did there were times he acted as a sensible gatekeeper.
