Caution, more Democrat sellout

By Associated Press

SACRAMENTO -- A bill that would allow undocumented immigrants to apply for financial aid at California community colleges was approved by the state Assembly on Thursday.

The bill, by Sen. Martha Escutia, D-Norwalk, would direct the board of governors to establish a process so students without legal immigration status can apply to have tuition waived.

It would require that the student attended high school in California for at least three years, obtained a diploma or an equivalent degree and, if the student isn't in the state legally, has applied to become a legal resident.

Opponents said the bill followed in the footsteps of the recently approved bill to allow illegal immigrants to get driver's licenses.

"Now we want to give financial aid in community colleges to illegal aliens?" said Assemblyman Dennis Mountjoy, R-Monrovia. "Members, what is the matter with you?"

But supporters said the bill would help those students become educated members of the state's work force, helping the economy.

"We can continue to bury our heads in the sand and ignore it, but this helps kids who are in this state, who have graduated from high school, who we hope will go on to college, or learn a trade," said Assemblyman Joe Nation, D-San Rafael. "It's the right thing to do politically, it's the right thing to do socially, and it's the right thing to do economically as well."

The bill was approved on a 43-27 vote, returning to the Senate for approval of Assembly amendments.

How many times have Californians put these two into public office?

The real problem in Calif is out of control illegal and semi legal immigration. Giant sucking sound of money sent home instead of spent in the local economy, overburdened social and medical services, etc. What exactly are Arnold and/or McClintock going to do about this? If they don't, they may fail miserably.

"California spends at least $3 billion a year on illegal aliens, providing health, education and welfare at the expense of the state's taxpayers, incarcerating illegals who get themselves arrested committing non-immigration-related felonies."

Excellent article, thanks for posting.

" They are here paying taxes. They pay $1,400 more a year than they get back in assistance."| - Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante

Then lets hope California never asks for any federal money, they should have no problem getting their budget balanced with all that money coming in from the illegals.

Californians should vote Republican at the local level and when that fails to control illegal immigration...vote for the BIGGEST government being offered at the national level. In other words, let ALL the generous liberal states pay for the failed liberal policies of the most populated state in the nation.

"Indeed, there were more than enough Americans willing to pick fruit and harvest produce, mow lawns and trim hedges, prepare meals and bus tables and clean up rooms and do laundry before the influx of more than 7 million illegal aliens."

Odd that there is so much media buzz about overweight teenagers. There aren't many things that illegals are doing today that I didn't do for any amount of money when I was growing up.

Californians will hire illegals to care for their tiny lawns and homes while they pay $100 a month to drive miles from their home to an exercise gym.
