The state Assembly voted today to send Gov. Jerry Brown a bill that allows undocumented immigrant college students to receive publicly-funded financial aid.
After a lengthy debate, Assembly Bill 131 -- the second part of the controversial measure known as the California Dream Act -- cleared the lower house on a 45-27 vote.
"Today is a wonderful day," said Assemblyman Manuel Perez, D-Coachella. "Today is a day of hope. Today, there are many students throughout the state of California who are saying, 'It's about time.'"

PING
We have to force the ruling political caste, regardless of party, to follow our will that We The People want an end to illegal immigration and DREAM acts.
This should be the decisive issue in the Republican Presidential race, and it should eliminate Slick Rick Perry from contention.
This is typical of the crap we put up with in California. There just are not enough conservatives, non-union, non-government employees out here to fight it.
The only consolation (I predict) is that very soon there won’t be enough federal funds available for these damn border-jumping spawn. Tax revenues are dropping like a rock, businesses are leaving the state in unprecedented numbers, and even the pro-union/big gov’t supporters are defecting from the progressive cause.
(Always brings a smile to my face when I hear liberals loose their minds when they finally realize that illegal aliens and their spawn receive government freebies and benefits that they themselves do not qualify for. The best way to turn a liberal into a conservative is to hit them in their pocket books.)
And all 67% of the sheeple that are against this will just sit on their fat arses & do NOTHING. Same 50 or so that voted for it will suffer NO consequences.
California Ten years behind the progressive curve established by Texas governor Rick Perry.
Good thing California has a budget surplus and low unemployment. /1963
Then, when it comes to Americans, they make no pretense ~ they got an Hispanic politician there saying "It's about time" ~ time for what buddy ~ maybe time to check your passport or something.
These people all have a perfectly good place to go back to ~ it's called Mexico, and on the worldscale of things it's one of the better places.
I have a feeling a bunch of these pukes in California are going to get caught up in the "send 'em all back" emotion they are creating among the broad masses and they, themselves, will end up there.
Sorry, we don't know you ~ you turned your backs on your countrymen to curry favor with foreigners.
Yes, the California Democrats are getting almost as radical as Rick Perry!
They don’t even have the tax dollars.
Thanks SmithL.
Yeah; I’m glad I’m not 67%er.
Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit for "discrimination" ! LOL
Some foreigners are better than OTHER foreigners.....
I find it bizarre that these people think they can favor the foreigner who cuts their lawn or trims their hedge and think of the guy from some other country as little more than a revenue source to bleed dry.
Won't help to give all the foreign students instate rates either ~ not while you deny that to American students.
A month ago the democrats said they had to close parks because the state is broke.
This week it’s a new program.
Will they be changing the name of the LA campus to UC-Olay?

Oakland Police Dept Mug Shot: Mishel Caviness, Hayward, accused of
running a large-scale operation devoted to stealing people's identities.
HAYWARD, CALIFORNIA -- A Hayward woman has been charged with numerous felony counts for allegedly running an identity-theft operation that created fake Social Security and California identification cards, checks and credit cards. Mishel Caviness, 40, was arrested after an investigation by Oakland police and the U.S. Secret Service.
The probe began when an Oakland city employee reported in January that someone was fraudulently cashing her checks, according to police Officer Ryan Goodfellow and court records. Caviness was identified with the help of surveillance-camera footage from Bay Area stores, police said.
A search of her apartment on the 21000 block of Foothill Boulevard in Hayward last week uncovered a printing operation capable of making fake checks and credit cards, police said. Also found were 900 blank credit cards, personal information belonging to as many as 1,000 people, blank checks and computers, police said.
Alameda County prosecutors charged Caviness with forgery, identity theft, forgery of a driver's license and grand theft. She has a previous conviction for welfare fraud and told police that she is disabled and unemployed. She is being held at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin in lieu of $325,000 bail.

THE LUCRATIVE PHONY ID BUSINESS---DOCUMENTS FOR A PRICE
NORTH BERGEN, NJ -- July 21, 2006 -- Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, L/E said.
The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses for any state in the US, passports and resident alien cards, said state police.
Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. Authorities wouldn't identify the NJ hotel by name for fear it would spark retribution from savage drug cartels operating in the US.
The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout.
L/E approached the Texas brothers when they returned to the NJ hotel and questioned them separately. The Texas brothers consented to a search.
Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.
All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street. Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 fake Social Security cards. ####
