FIRST THE PROPAGANDA:
THE BACKGROUND ON DEMOCRATS IN CALIFORNIA:
The Dream Act
Most Cal Grants pay the cost of basic tuition, currently $12,192 at UC, and $5,472 at CSU. To be eligible for state aid to attend UC or CSU, an undocumented student must meet the following requirements:
-- Sign an affidavit saying they are in the process of requesting legal status
-- Have attended a California high school for at least three years
-- Have maintained at least a B average in high school if applying to CSU or UC, or a C average if applying to community college
For more information about Cal Grants:

Other Bills
In addition to the Dream Act, the governor also signed:
-- AB1112, by Assemblyman Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, which raises fees on imported oil to pay for oil spill prevention.
-- AB438, by Assemblyman Das Williams, D-Santa Barbara, which imposes restrictions on public libraries that seek to privatize. This bill was a priority for labor unions.

ReplyDeleteIn 2005, the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that up to 3 percent of the 30,000 individuals called for jury duty from voter registration rolls over a two-year period in just one U.S. district court were not U.S. citizens.
ReplyDeleteThe percentage of 3% of voters results in a 6% difference in the results, enough to turn the results of the majority of US elections.
ReplyDeleteIn 1996, Congress enacted the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, making it a federal crime for non-citizens to vote in any federal election (or state election, unless authorized by state law). As a penalty, ineligible non-citizens who knowingly vote may be deported. Additionally, a non-citizen who falsely claims to be a United States citizen is in violation of this law.
ReplyDeleteHowever, there are many documented reports of non-citizen voting,1 2 and there is no evidence of prosecution of the aliens for their action.
One of the greatest burdens in L.A. County is welfare for children whose parents are undocumented.
ReplyDeletein 1994, 59 percent of California voters passed Proposition 187, a ballot measure that outlawed education, health care and social services to illegal immigrants and their children. At that time there were estimated to be three-hundred thousand illegal immigrant children in public schools.
ReplyDeleteEven though Proposition 187 passed, the measure was declared unconstitutional in federal court and was never enforced.
Why do you pay taxes and follow the law in a country where the elected officials, from the president on down, routinely ignore the law to the financial detriment of you? Because, unlike the illegals or the politicians, you will be punished, your freedom and property taken.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you put up with that?
The left embraces illegals to bolster their voter base...to hell with the law, to hell with the taxpayers. It's all about RACE...LaRaza.
ReplyDeleteCan you say reconquista ???
If a lifeboat holds 30 people and you put in 45, you're going to sink it and kill us all. The US does not have unlimited resources. We permit about a million immigrants a years to come here. Children who were snuck into the country should be given citizenship? Why bother to be born here? This will only encourage more illegals to keep bring their children, when will it stop?
ReplyDeleteWe need hardliners in government and the day is coming they will be here. If not we only have to look south to see what our future will be.
Life is a beach!
ReplyDeleteWhat in the whirled would you expect, after you annex large swaths of a foreign country, but foreigners in your country?

Thought we spoke English in "America".
Why didn't the names change, with annexation, if we did not want to continue the foreign influences?
If we did not want Mexicans in the US, why did we annex large swaths of populated Mexico?
ReplyDeleteTo all those who are opposed to AB 131, please understand that this measure is not as economically dentrimental as you would think, "The California Department of Finance estimates that 2,500 students will qualify for Cal Grants as a result of AB 131, at a cost of $14.5 million. The overall Cal Grant program is funded at $1.4 billion, meaning that 1 percent of all Cal Grant funds will be potentially impacted by AB 131 when the law goes into effect."
ReplyDeleteNow you may have contentions that stem from principles/philosophical beliefs that people who were born here or have legal residency should ONLY be benefiting from the state's education system. This state's population is growing and people are going to retire, we need teachers, policeman, and other workers who need to be educated with degrees. I hope you find it in your heart to have some compassion and allow your intellect to see that immigrants who are allowed access to social services can then only CONTRIBUTE to our economy & communities. Immigrants from all different demographics (from white Eastern Europeans to brown Southeast Asians), there are too few of us to be divided and I can only speak for myself, but all of us in the immigrant rights' movement hope that you can simply join us in attaining equal rights for all, no matter our designated status in this country.
When the Constitution says "People" it odes not abide discrimination against non-citizens, as they are people, too.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Founders wanted to make citizenship an issue, they did.
They understood the meanings of the words.
The Revolution lives.
It is growing.
Embrace the Enlightenment.

Naturalization, immigration, solely Federal issues.
ReplyDeleteThe Supremes concur.
Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States struck down a state statute denying funding for education to illegal aliens and simultaneously struck down a municipal school district's attempt to charge illegal immigrants an annual $1,000 tuition fee for each illegal alien student to compensate for the lost state funding[1].
The Court found that where states limit the rights afforded to people (specifically children) based on their status as aliens, this limitation must be examined under an intermediate scrutiny standard to determine whether it furthers a substantial goal of the State.

"He is a Mormon, that much I know. ...I am not going to get into an analysis of Mormonism vs. Christianity. "

DR: To merely frame the question, as "Mormonism vs Christianity", well, Mr Cain establishes his position that there is a substantial difference 'tween the two.
ReplyDeleteCain is right. Mormonism is basically the fourth Abrahamic religion, and the most recent one to come along, in 1830, about 1200 years after the third Abrahamic religion came along, which was Islam.
I am not saying he is wrong, Ms T.
ReplyDeleteI do know that Mormons self-identify as Christians.
That Jerusalem centric Christians may see it as you, understandable.

Barely overcoming his Catholicism, by being a war hero.
Mr Romney is no war hero.
That, "Not Here" Q, does not represent Federal policy.
ReplyDeleteLike it or not.
The Supreme Court HAS ruled on the question and "Here" means "USA".
The Supremes have ruled that a child has no more control over his immigration status as does a woman over her gender.
That's the "Law of the Land".
One wonders what the Supremes thought would occur, as those children reached their majority, but I doubt that was addressed in Plyler v. Doe.

ReplyDeleteWhy do you put up with that?

Most people in the country are law-abiding. More they have priorities. When their own government stacks the deck against them they have to pick and choose what they protest against.
During good times, they have the time and flexibility to be concerned about social issues. During times like these, you get OWS.
Immigration, while some regard it as tied to our current economic problems, is in fact peripheral.

ReplyDeleteSecret U.S. Memo Made Legal Case to Kill a Citizen
The Obama administration’s secret legal memorandum that opened the door to the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born radical Muslim cleric hiding in Yemen, found that it would be lawful only if it were not feasible to take him alive, according to people who have read the document...
The memo, written last year, followed months of extensive interagency deliberations and offers a glimpse into the legal debate that led to one of the most significant decisions made by President Obama — to move ahead with the killing of an American citizen without a trial...
The Obama administration has refused to acknowledge or discuss its role in the drone strike that killed Mr. Awlaki last month and that technically remains a covert operation. The government has also resisted growing calls that it provide a detailed public explanation of why officials deemed it lawful to kill an American citizen, setting a precedent that scholars, rights activists and others say has raised concerns about the rule of law and civil liberties..."

ReplyDeletethe Democratic Party sees those illegal aliens as potential votes down the road. That would mean the Democratic Party would have a smashing lead if they could snag them. The Dream Act is a slap in the face of every law-abiding American. The Republicans were thinking the same way in a milder form, but finally threw it in when the realized it would not fly. Accepting that idea means you are walking away from a massive number of American Voters, and at this point.. perhaps they saw it as risky.
There is a second element.
The economists are saying the way to a healthy economy is found if the population continuously expands. That means we essentially throw the environmental efforts out the window and go for big populations regardless of the costs. The Real Estate people are absolutely overjoyed with the idea, and push it hard. But suddenly we also realize Mexico is such a place.. constantly growing population and no where to send those folks. We discover India and China are also such places and while India doesn’t care. China is desperately, and very courageously, attempting to control population by government policy of allowing each family to have one child. I thoroughly believe in God, and I adamantly do not believe God put us here to destroy earth with to many people.
=======================
We have very big issues out there the people need to solve. Not half baked idiots in Washington. We are not electing these people to tell us what to do.. we want them to do what WE tell THEM to do which is exactly how a democracy works. Nor do I want Congress to sneak these items through in the middle of the night in an emergency session no one knew about.
We have had very good government in times when the population was not expanding. We don’t need an expanding population to achieve a good economy.
Ahh…. but we do need good government, and at this point, we don’t have that.

ReplyDeleteSpengler @ Pajamas Media
This isn’t going to be easy, and the sooner we decide to roll up our sleeves and get back to work instead of looking for bankers to blame, the better our chances of coming back.
Spengler accurately describes the public's part in the current crisis. However, his perspective and the conclusions he draws from the graphs he posts is skewed.
He states the banks have suffered more than the public.
1. That is because they have refused to come clean on the assets they hold. They have refused to mark to market the toxic assets in their inventory. They have fought all efforts to share the info. Wall Street has blasted the banks because it has no idea how much trouble the banks are actually in.
2. Also, it comes down to how you define the banks. Bank shareholders (and in some cases bondholders) took it in the ass. The dicks running the banks and making the decisions that got us to where we are didn't suffer at all, neither financially nor legally.
3. In fact, the same dicks are still in charge making the same decisions that got them into the situation in the first place. They are also the same guys stamping their feet and saying that new regulations the government is 'attempting' to implement to make sure the same mistakes are not made again, are anti-business and as Jamie Diamond said "...un-American...".
4. How they can say this with a straight face is their greatest asset. Currently half the government is trying to prevent any new regulations and recall any that have already been passed. They do this by offering new legislation and by denying funding to regulatory agencies like
SEC.
5. The banks suffer? Evidently, you didn't bother to read the post rat put up on the previous thread.
For the trillion dollar damage done illegally by the banks, the government proposes charging them $20 billion.
Looking for bankers to blame?
Let's face it you don't have to look hard. The same guys who got us into this mess are still there drawing their millions.

I am a California resident and a student at a university in northern California. With the recent 12% tuition hike that all California State Universities have implemented this semester, school keeps getting more and more expensive. I have about 2.5 more years of undergrad left and I am getting worried that by the time I graduate I will have a very large amount of debt. I was apart of the student government 2 years ago and I protested against this bill, because we hardly have enough money in the grant and scholarship section for our own citizens. This definitely puts more of a stress on American citizens like myself who are trying to find a way to pay $7,200 a semester for classes.
ReplyDeleteAnd for those of you who commented that we are catering to illegals... you should check out a CSU nursing school application, you get extra points on your application if you are bilingual or fluent in Spanish, but if you are fluent in another language they only "take it into consideration." I thought this was an English speaking country? I guess I thought wrong... Good luck to all of the students trying to afford college! Hopefully California doesn't mess up our chances of affording school in the future!

ReplyDelete"Misprision"
The failure to perform a public duty.
Misprision is a versatile word that can denote a number of offenses. It can refer to the improper performance of an official duty. In Arkansas, for example, rule 60 of the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure provides that a judgment, decree, or order may be vacated or modified "for misprisions of the clerk." In this sense misprision refers to neglect, mistake, or subterfuge on the part of the court clerk who performed the paperwork for the judgment, decree, or order.
