California DREAM Act Clears Legislature

Maryland Isn’t the Only State Walking Down This Path …

from Stateline.org -

CALIFORNIA DREAMING: Lawmakers in California sent Governor Jerry Brown a bill last week that would make college financial aid available to residents of the state who are in the country unlawfully. The bill, known as the California Dream Act, would allow illegal immigrants to receive help from endowments or private foundations, as well as preserving their in-state tuition rights, according to The Sacramento Bee. Brown has not indicated whether he will sign the bill. During his campaign, however, he supported giving financial aid to illegal immigrants. A nearly identical piece of legislation cleared the Illinois Senate last week, despite getting no votes from Republicans, The Associated Press reports. And Maryland recently extended in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. In December, lawmakers in Congress voted down a federal Dream Act.

The Democrats will do anything to get the votes in 2012.

Think Obama has not figured this out yet?

you might as well educate them
your not going to get rid of them
some should consider getting an education along with them
you might need it the new conservatism is going to be a lot harder to understand than flag waving and Nascar
it was easy to follow a dope like Bush but if Newt gets in you might want to expand your vocabulary if you want to feel in the loop

Let them pass it. Then their politicians will be in the same boat as Maryland's. A boat that is ready to capsize from being top heavy with the swollen heads in the Democratic Party.
