Legislature Passes Bills to Give Driver's Licenses and College Financial Aid to Illegal Aliens

The State Senate joined with the Assembly in passing two bills by Senator Gil Cedillo that would grant benefits to illegal immigrants. 

SB 160 would allow illegal aliens to apply for and receive tax-financed financial assistance to attend college in California.

Apart from the fact that we should not be rewarding individuals who are breaking our immigration laws, the costs to taxpayers would be substantial. According to the official bill analysis:

"UC estimates institutional aid for these students would total approximately $3.7 million ... CSU annual costs would initially be approximately $3.6 million."

[For the California Community College system] ... "the Proposition 98 cost would be approximately $7.6 million."

SB 1162 will allow illegal immigrants to receive California driver's licenses.  We've defeated this before.  The Governor vetoed the last driver's license bill, and the legislature felt the heat and repealed the license law signed by former Governor Davis.

We can't let up.  Please...

Contact the Governor

Illegals Plan to Rally Around the State

On Monday, Labor Day, illegal immigrants and their supporters are planning rallies around the state.

In Sacramento, there will be an "Immigrants' rally," sponsored by the "Campaign Against Unjust Immigration Laws."  9 a.m., Southside Park, 8th and T Streets.

Similar rallies and marches will be held in San Francisco, starting at 10 a.m. at Justin Herman Plaza; and in San Jose, starting at 4 p.m. at Story and King.

Also, in Oakland, "immigrant rights advocates" gather to march to the federal building to "demand full legalization and equal rights for all immigrants." 9 a.m., Corner of E. 14th St and International Blvd.

Then there will be a rally at 11:30 a.m. at the Federal Building, 1313 Clay St.

The supporters of illegal aliens are not giving up.  Have you? 

Don't give up.  Stand with us as we work to stop government benefits from going to illegals and we push for a secure, protected border. 

A new initiative is in the works that will be the first step.  It will stop the legislature and government bureaucrats in their tracks by preventing them from giving tax benefits to illegal aliens.

More information to come soon...

 

Will you help us?  Your contribution of $100, $50 or whatever you can afford will be used in the fight to stop these ridiculous laws that give favor and benefits to individuals who are breaking our immigration laws.
