Action Alert



CA ALERT! – Legislature passes SB 1460—financial aid for illegal alien students!
Ask Schwarzenegger to veto this bill


While California's middle class families struggle during this recession, the state legislature has voted to give financial aid to foreign students who are in the country illegally. Both houses passed SB 1460, the so-called California Dream Act, by Sen. Gil Cedillo (D-Los Angeles).

The legislative analysis revealed this would cost $38 million annually from Cal Grants, $4.8 million from CCC waivers, and additional millions from UC and CSU aid programs. Even though the California Legislature has failed to meet its constitutionally mandated deadline for passing a budget, it is poised to give millions of dollars to those who are here illegally.

Financial aid for illegals means less aid is available for Americans. Gov. Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar bill, SB 1301, in 2008. Let the Governor know how outrageous you consider the legislature’s action and ask him to wield his veto pen again.

ACTION NEEDED

Tell the governor that this bill insults American students and families who play by the rules. Send a fax or an e-mail by entering your ZIP Code and clicking "Go!" below.
