Two bills came up for a vote this year in the Assembly higher education committee. One, introduced by a Republican legislator, sought to help young men and women serving in the National Guard qualify for Cal Grants - a state- funded scholarship awarded to Californians needing financial help attending college in the state. The other, carried by a liberal Democrat, sought to make the same Cal Grants scholarships available to persons who entered the country illegally. Not surprisingly, the liberal-dominated Higher Education Committee approved the bill granting benefits to persons in California illegally, and killed the measure to assist young people who joined the National Guard.

WOW. ... Doesnt that say it all???

"Two bills came up for a vote this year...."

That was the section that almost knocked me from my chair, too... How can any Californian read that and not immediately register as Republican????
