California Reintroduces Its Own Dream Act
January 12, 2011

The DREAM Act is back, in California at least. Today Assemblyman Gil Cedillo re-introduced the DREAM Act which would allow undocumented youth who are accepted to college the ability to apply for institutional financial aid and state grants from the state’s public universities, state and community colleges.

Cedillo’s new strategy is to split the bill in two. The San Jose Mercury News reports that one bill would allow undocumented immigrant students who are California residents to apply for Cal Grants, a state student aid program for low-income students who are accepted by state community colleges or the University of California. The second bill will allow undocumented immigrant students to apply for fee waivers from public institutions that they are accepted by.

The California DREAM Act was first introduced in 2006 and passed the California state legislature but was vetoed three times by the former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

California’s new governor Jerry Brown supports the California version. “Yes to the California Dream Act,â€

What he hasn't introduced his Drivers License Bill for illegal's yet? This man has tunnel vision. With Brown announcing his budget cut to California Universities how does Cedillo plan to pay for this added burden?

Stupid politicians and stupid voters mostly populate this state...Let us sink into the ocean quickly and get us out of our misery!

If they pass the California Dream act then the Feds should cut funding to those schools.

If this passes, I expect to see alot of longtime Californians to start relocating, most likely out of state.
My decision to leave SoCal to OK was a last minute decision and with no garuantees when I got here.

One bill gil at his worst..........

The truly sad thing is, it will probably pass. What the rest of the country needs to do is refuse to bail our the California when they continue to pander to criminals who are bankrupting the whole state. California is already in debt why on earth would this idiot want to creat more?

One college, Fresno State, is facing a $20 MILLION shortage and they want to add to that?!?!?! Un-freaking-believable! What are they thinking???
