California Governor Jerry Brown on Saturday signed a bill giving illegal immigrant college students access to state-funded financial aid, the second half of two-part legislation known as the "Dream Act."
The controversial measure, which passed the Democrat-controlled legislature on a party-line vote in September, represents a victory for immigrant-rights activists ahead of the 2012 presidential election. California is the nation's most populous state.
Well, that 's lovely and thoughtful, and all that. I guess that financial crisis must be over. Congratulations to California on a job well done!
I guess we know why the Occupy Wall Street protests didn't target California--they already own it.
