OK, here come the parade of victim horror stories.
“dreams of going to grad school in public policy and a career as a public servant”
OMG, just what the we need, another government worker that will funnel work to all his PC friends.
Except for the fact that he's illegally present in the United States.
They do not get Calif is broke there is no extra money laying around looking for a place to be spent.They cannot give what they do not have
Just like every other international student.
Hey Claudia did you ever think that there would be more aid avalable for real US citizens like you if some of it were not paying for the illegals? Buy a clue sweetheart he should not be here.
It’s time to go home, Mexico needs him.
WE KNOW THAT DRILL The sense of entitlement displayed here is an outrage. The "undocumented" see Americans as a perpetual ATM machine and fully expect Americans to subsidize their every whim. They are turning the US into a Third World---installing the same failed mindset from their flea-bitten homelands.
Illegals do not add to democracy---they subtract from it. We do not need, nor do we want on US soil, those who are all too willing to destroy Western civilization, and our democracy, for their own self-serving ends.
US laws are just a nuisance to these lowlifes. By their very presence, illegals evince an utter contempt for America, Americans and our laws. These people want privileges........not just rights.
Illegals are building a Third World country inside the US at the behest of their homeland govt's. It is an outrage that they actually think they are entitled to participate in our government, our security, our prosperity, our legislative process, our society.......and get a free education on top of it.
===============================
RIDING THE US GRAVY TRAIN An illegal alien w/ wife and five children violates our borders. He gets a job mowing lawns for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that low wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, so each year, he files an Income Tax Return to get "EITC---earned income credit" of up to $3,200 scot-free. He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent. He qualifies for food stamps and no deductible, no co-pay free health care. His children get free school breakfasts and lunches. The kids qualify for monthly SSI checks, faking ADD; the illegal and his wife get SSI if they fake being aged, blind or disabled; SSI qualifies them for Medicare. Plus illegals don't worry about pricey items like car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance, and qualifies for relief from high energy bills.
ALL OF THAT IS COLLECTED WITH JUST ONE IDENTITY Evidence shows illegals establish several identities with phony SS nos and fake documents (which these "impoverished immigrants" buy from document brokers for several thousand dollars).
I was born in this country. I also did five semesters at a community college to get to Georgia Tech. I worked long hours delivering furniture while I was in school. I didn't take any semesters off, but I couldn't afford to go full time either. It took me fourteen consecutive semesters to earn my engineering degree (with a minor in economics).
I had the foresight to pursue a difficult degree that actually offers a future (engineering) rather than taking the easy route to a degree (English) which unfortunately does not guarantee a good paying job. Yes, it's about choices and trade-offs. And even at $10,000 per year (mine was less), an engineering degree will pay for itself in less than two years.
This person should be grateful to be going to college at all. There are billions of people in other parts of the world who will never have that opportunity. A large percentage of the students I schooled with were from foreign countries. Their families sacrificed quite a bit to have the opportunity for a US higher education. Most did very well, worked hard, and finished near the top. Never once did I hear a single one complain.
“Despite the fact that Ernesto graduated from a California high school, has lived here most of his life, and has beat the odds to become a UCLA student, he is denied any access to state grants, scholarships, subsidized loans and institutional aid.”
It’s not the taxpayers fault you’re illegal Ernesto. Go to your country with your education and experience. They really need you.
OH GREAT!
Another MECHA rabblerouser?
This is supposed to make me feel good? To applaud the robbing of our state wealth? To cheer the voyage of a criminal illegal alien from one form of welfare to another?
Back up and give it another try...
Dear Claudia, Your friend Ernesto is a criminal. You too are a criminal for not outing him to authorities. The California authorities are criminals for allowing this to happen. In my administration you would all be under arrest and given mandatory jail sentences of LIFE without parole. Ernesto too! We’d want to show him the hospitality of our prisons.
Well of course they are ready for the act to be passed. Socialists always want a benefit that will come at the expense of someone else and they will use the authoritative power of government (through the business end of a weapon, if needed) to get it.
Wait until the protesters in Wisconsin, Indian or elsewhere do not get their way through their “peaceful protests”. That is when their true nature of anger and hatred will show itself.

Why doesn’t he aspire to be something more honest, like a pimp, instead of looking forward to dedicating his life to being a parasite on the body politic?
An exceptional young man who will be an asset to his country of origin.
1. I sympathize somewhat with illegals (not “undocumented”s) who are brought here as young minors by their parents. But the solution is not to legalize them. Doing so simply sends a message to FUTURE would-be illegal-border-crossers: “Hey, if you and/or your kids get caught, the very fact that you have kids will somehow keep you all from being deported. So COME ON IN!”
2. DREAM is overbroad even IF we wanted to “not deport” the Ernestos of this land. DREAM allows anyone at least a two-year grace period of legality once he/she even APPLIES, no matter how false the application, no matter how long his/her criminal record. DREAM also allows the DREAMers’ relatives to jump to the front of the green card line, etc.
NO to DREAM or any other measure that makes to better to cut in line (to illegally immigrate) than to follow the law in the first place. No, no, NO.
Ping!
