    California’s DREAM Act Brings Sharp Criticism From Opponen

    Only 30 percent of white voters approve of the new law, which grants illegal immigrants the same financial aid for college as legal citizens.

    The immigration debate in California is one that has only intensified in recent years, and now that the state has passed a new law granting financial assistance for college to illegal immigrants, many California voters are voicing their disapproval.

    Gov. Jerry Brown approved the DREAM Act last month amid sharp criticism from state Republicans. The bipartisan survey found that 53 percent of registered Democrats supported the new law while only 23 percent of Republicans did. "It's morally wrong.

It also permits students to obtain fee waivers in the community college system. Students will have to meet certain requirements to be eligible, including having graduated from a California high school after attending school in the state for at least three years and providing documentation to show they are in the process of applying for citizenship.

    Separately, in the state of Alabama, Blacks and Latinos have banded together to fight a controversial immigration law that that, among other provisions, requires state and local law enforcement officials to verify a person’s immigration status during routine traffic stops or arrests, if they feel “a reasonable suspicionâ€

    Does Cali still allow for Affirmative Action to be used for admittance purposes?
