Governor Moonbeam Brown and California's "Dream Act"...

Liberty -vs- Tyranny
While OWS has been grabbing headlines all over America the retread governor of the Peoples Socialist Republic of California is continuing to prove he is clueless. Well, to be fair he actually does know a lot about battiness.
In his most recent bat crap craziness Jerry {Moonbeam} Brown has just signed into law the "California Dream Act." This bat excrement parchment of legislative progressive idiocy grants illegal aliens financial aid at public universities and community colleges, compliments of the taxpayers of what once was the Golden State of California.
From the Los Angeles Times...
Altruism has achieved it's finest moment. Out of a sense of "fairness" the very progressive democratic state legislature and Mr. Moonbeam have decided that the working taxpayers of California ought to foot the bill for Illegal Immigrants to ghet a university or college education. Because it is "a dream that promises intellectual excitement", I'm sure it does. Especially as the bill gets sent to the taxpayers.
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly (R-San Bernardino) nails it...
To which I would add... Morally wrong by every conceivable consideration.
What is most disconcerting is that the United States at large is being ever so certainly nudged by the same altruistic progressives to enact similar legislation as law of the land. To which every citizen that values their liberty ought to rise up against and insure this ill advised craziness never becomes the law of thew land.

From the Los Angeles Times...
Gov. Jerry Brown on Saturday granted illegal immigrants access to state financial aid at public universities and community colleges, putting California once again in the center of the nation's immigration debate.
But he vetoed a measure that would have allowed state universities to consider applicants' race, gender and income to ensure diversity in their student populations.
Deciding the fate of 50 education-related bills, the governor also rejected an effort to make it more difficult to establish charter schools. But he accepted a move to improve college life for gays, lesbians and bisexual and transgender people and a measure to restrict the privatization of libraries.
None of the other proposals, however, has drawn the attention — or rancor — surrounding the California Dream Act...
"Going to college is a dream that promises intellectual excitement and creative thinking," Brown said in a statement. "The Dream Act benefits us all by giving top students a chance to improve their lives and the lives of all of us."
Beginning in 2013, illegal immigrants accepted by state universities may receive assistance from Cal-Grants, a public program that last year provided aid to more than 370,000 low-income students.
The new law also makes students who are not legally in the country eligible for institutional grants while attending the University of California and California State University systems. And it permits them to obtain fee waivers in the community college system.
Altruism has achieved it's finest moment. Out of a sense of "fairness" the very progressive democratic state legislature and Mr. Moonbeam have decided that the working taxpayers of California ought to foot the bill for Illegal Immigrants to ghet a university or college education. Because it is "a dream that promises intellectual excitement", I'm sure it does. Especially as the bill gets sent to the taxpayers.
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly (R-San Bernardino) nails it...
"It's morally wrong . We have just created a new entitlement that is going to cause tens of thousands of people to come here illegally from all over the world."
To which I would add... Morally wrong by every conceivable consideration.

Les, "altruism" (or "being nice," as most people call it) is not the prime motivator for Brown's signature. Rather, for the same reasons Rick Perry and other governors of big states have, Brown signed a bill that is good for the universities, the people of the state, and the the country.
ReplyDeleteIf an illegal immigrant kid can graduate high school, with a high GPA, qualify for state aid, and only after all legal residents have first, and only of that illegal immigrant kid can show they are legalizing, then they get the same resident state aid as everyone else.
This bothers you, huh?
1. The schools get a greater variety of students. Always good.
2. The kids that came here illegally (most often without their choice) have the opportunity to advance themselves and maybe become Americans like us (and I certainly hope they could and would after educating them!).
3. What a great incentive for the children of illegals to avoid bad choices on the streets of LA and the like.
4. Education is an investment in the people that almost always ensures a more productive and wealthy citizen - or visitor, or alien, or immigrant, or whatever you want to call them. If they are here, and they are highly productive, innovative, civil and informed, they are good for the country.
5. That's why Brown (and Perry) signed such a bill.
(He's no "moonbat," ya' know. You should read more about Jerry Brown. He's highly respected by the right in this country. He's not the caricature some on the far-right paint.

Not surprising to hear ya singing the progressive altruistic tune.
Another to add to the list of moonbats.
*Facepalm* I can't wait to leave this place. I will miss the climate and locales but I just can't wait.
ReplyDeleteLes, do you not see your own self-interest in what I said? Or do you just prefer these silly "socialist" jive?

ReplyDeleteHow is this good? What does it have to do with anything at all?
"3. What a great incentive for the children of illegals to avoid bad choices on the streets of LA and the like."
There are already strong disincentives. Gang activities are illegal.
"He's not the caricature some on the far-right paint."
The opinions of the far right are never discussed here.
