California "Dream Act" approved for illegal immigrants

.LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law on Monday a bill allowing illegal immigrants to receive privately funded scholarships to attend the state's public colleges and universities.

The bill, dubbed the California Dream Act, passed the state Legislature earlier this month and aims at helping illegal immigrants who earned a diploma after attending at least three years of high school in the state.

Enactment of the California measure came three days after opponents of a similar law in Maryland collected enough signatures to force a state referendum seeking its repeal.

"At the end of the day, if we're going to continue as a powerful, equal-opportunity society, we're going to have to invest in our people," Brown, a Democrat, said at the signing ceremony in the library of a Los Angeles community college.

this is not about equal opportunity, this is about encouraging people to break the law. this is not going to fix california's huge illegal problem, it is only going to foster the problem and encourage people to bring their families here illegally. people need to go through the legal process, the law is there for a reason and should be upheld by the state instead of encouraging breaking it.
