Jerry Brown Funds Student Illegals, Cuts Middle-Class Scholarships
Daily caller ^ | February 22, 2017 | David Krayden

California Governor Jerry Brown won’t touch scholarship funding for illegal immigrant students while he cuts scholarship funding for middle-class U.S. citizens enrolled in higher education institutions, Campus Reform reports.

Awash in another budget deficit expected to hit $2 billion by this summer, Brown decided to trim education expenses — but spending on scholarships for illegals will continue to increase.

The 2017-18 Governor’s Budget detailed Brown’s intention of phasing out the Middle Class Scholarship program, which assists students who come from households with a combined income of $156,000 or less with 40 per cent of their tuition costs.

There needs to be a class action filed against Brown on this. The civil rights laws clearly state that government cannot discriminate on the basis of national origin. This provides benefits for illegals from other countries while denying them to Americans.

This guy is on traitorous territory. What state will be next? How can anyone living in California bear to read the local news? Sanctuary cities need to be developed for the honest tax paying citizens.

California is soon to be a ghost state. It is totally bankrupt.

Free for illegals, just like everything else.
When will the morons in California wake up and realize that the illegals are more equal than they are?..............

This is proof that California has enough spare money laying around to address flooding and failing dams without any federal help.

Jerry Brown and the Democrat Party spent millions on a Dam in California on behalf of party favorites instead of where it was needed now thousands are having to flee their homes because of political graft.

Not surprised if the majority of Calif voters give him a thumbs up.

I don’t want to wish bad health for anybody, but Jerry Brown has some serious prostate cancer problems now. Sad thing is, he is a wise old man compared to the bomb throwers waiting in the wings in Sacramento.

Clearly Californians have a high capacity for self abuse. They elected this traitorous b____d and I’ve seen no moves to impeach him, prosecute him, or otherwise put a halt to the destruction of their state.

CA is a good example at the state level of what would happen to the US if it followed a popular vote.

The CA legislature is saturated with democrats (polite term) to where the few republicans therein cannot really achieve anything at all.

Why wouldn’t a hack politician spend tax money on people who are most likely to vote for him?

The fundamental problem with Commiefornia is not just the fiscal bankruptcy, it is the pervasive moral bankruptcy.
