#1 In the case of an illegal who was brought to the US as a young child and raised as an American this is my proposal. Apply for a green card and serve Honorably in the US Military for a minimum of four years, gain US citizenship and go to college on your GI Bill. You will have earned it and be proud of it, much more than a BS handout.

#6 Why they are going to pay for it by driving even more tax-paying 'producers' out of the state by jacking up taxes!

How else?

#7 Taxpayers shouldn't fund anyone's education FULL STOP.

#9 Actually, BP, there is a lot of support for one program - GI Bill education. It's compensation in kind for service rendered. Unfortunately, there are several thousand who will never get to collect on it.

#10 Better (for both taxpayers and Soldiers) to roll it up in the visible pay.

#11 Ah, but the accounting game is that retirement is figured upon 'base pay' not all the throw-ins like clothing allowance, subsistence allowance, housing, skill bonuses, educations allowances, medical, etc. Yes, the GAO has recommended for decades that it should be one figure, but the bean counters on Capital Hill have done the projections and have seen the long term costs. Heck, even as we communicate, they're looking at cutting the current outlays for the base pay calculations. They did that in the late 80s and found out that at the 8 to 12 mark too many middle grades bailed rather than stick it out for the return.

#12 Sounds like the sort of thing Enron would approve of.

Clarity Clears Corruption.

#13 Taxpayers shouldn't fund anyone's education FULL STOP. It's been a basic part of US governance since 1785, and predates the US Constitution. The most important questions are related to how much, who benefits & who pays for it.

#15 A good incentive program for concentrating illegals in CA.

#17 California isn't the only state to do this. Rick Perry's Texas has a similar law. I've tried to tell you people before this isn't just a California problem.

I find this whole concept particularly offensive because of the impact it has on legal citizens. There are only so many applicants who can get into our universities in this state and when you encourage illegal aliens to apply there will be even fewer admissions for our own kids. But I'm afraid it's true that our state is too far gone for most people to consider that.

#18 Next up: Quotas! Affirmative Action!

That's right - your {son|daughter|other} will have to give up their future for someone who neither qualifies, deserves, or can benefit from taking their spot.

They are already starting to protray Illegal Aliens as the new victim class.

#19 And the Californian Republican party is so confused they probably still can't beat these jokers. How sad is that.

#20 Q: What happens when you have an entire state of tax eaters and no taxpayers?
A: Keep watching California and find out.
