Gogo,
What does the CA dream act consist of?

I got an email alert on this item this morning. I have called and also emailed by disapproval. Also passed email along to all my friends. We need to get this out to as many people as possible. We can't let this pass.

What is the email. It gives in-state tuition to illegals among other things. Cakers do you have all the specifics?

Here is an article on Senator Cedillo's site and it looks like they will be calling and emailing in favor of the bill. We need to help out with this one guys!!! Lets make a difference!!!!

[quote]SB 1 was approved by the Legislature on the last day of session and is now under consideration by Governor Schwarzenegger.

The bill has been amended to address the Governor’s veto message last year and concerns raised by the Los Angeles Times in an editorial earlier this year.

The California Dream Act, SB 1 (Cedillo) allows U.S. citizen and undocumented AB 540 students to apply for community college fee waivers and eligible for the Cal Grant which can be applied at California colleges and universities. However, SB 1 specifically excludes students from the Competative Cal Grant Program.



California high school graduates who have been accepted to our premier public colleges and universities may not be recognized as state residents and may be ineligible for state financial aid. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, there are over 25,000 undocumented students who graduate every year from high school. These students confront a difficult challenge of financing their college education because they are ineligible for any federal grants or loans and are unable to legally work.


“In short, although these children have built their lives here, they have no possibility of achieving and living the American dream. What a tremendous loss for them, and what a tremendous loss to our society.â€

-----------------------------------------------------------
The ever-increasing cost of higher education is squeezing California's middle class families, yet the state legislature has voted to give scarce financial aid dollars to illegal alien students. SB 1 by state Senator Gil Cedillo would take us a step further in blurring the lines between those who are here legally and those who broke our immigration laws.

SB 1 would penalize students who are citizens or legal immigrants by reducing the financial aid available to them. The legislative analysis showed that this bill would cost millions of dollars per year.


In 2006 Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar bill, SB 160, also by Cedillo. The Governor stated, "California has over 100,000 students here legally who apply annually for financial aid to attend college, and our state has limited funds available for this important purpose."



The Governor got it right then. Encourage him to again veto this bill.
