California use to be the #1 state in the union, now it's one of the poorest (when cost of living is factored in), and financially speaking California is slowly going bankrupt despite having some of the highest taxes on state residents.
One of America's best states brought to its knees by irrational progressive policies.
Apparently in New York state illegal immigrants are a priority, but not American citizens:
That's not true. American Citizens already have access to public scholarships/financial aid in the State of NY. This bill is allowing some illegals access to such aid only if they meet the specifications outlined in the new bill.
New York state law for years barred undocumented children from receiving public financial aid to continue their education in college.
The state’s DREAM Act would allow those children to qualify for scholarships and other assistance provided: they attended a New York state high school for at least two years, graduated and applied for college within five years of receiving their diploma; attended a certified high school equivalency program and received a diploma; or would be otherwise eligible for in-state tuition.
Citizens can get financial aid. This would allow undocumented dreamers to get financial aid too. We've already paid for their education through 12th gradem, why shouldn't we benefit from it? I think it's likely that they will eventually have a legal status. If we help them with college, they will be able to contribute to society all that much more rather than be a drain on it.
No, this specific type of financial aid is only for illegal immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.
Most American citizens do not qualify for "free college" financial aid.
NY already passed college aid (Excelsior Scholarship) for legal residents/citizens.
In California illegal immigrants can attain EBT cards, welfare, free housing, medical care, education, and even driver licenses, all paid for or subsidized by the taypayers of California!
Despite the fact that Californians overwhelmingly voted against this, by passing propisition 187 back in the 90s, it still goes on today because liberal judges apparently aren't too fond of democracy.
They may be able to get a driver license, but good luck trying to insure a car being an illegal citizen, that is sort of the catch 22, we will give you the license to drive, but you still wont be able to legally do it.
NO auto insurance company would underwrite a policy on an illegal citizen, it would be too much risk.
