Obama Urges Governor to OK College Aid for Illegal Immigrants - (California’s Dream Act)

“Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is urging Gov. Schwarzenegger to sign legislation extending state financial aid to illegal immigrant college students.

The so-called DREAM Act would allow illegal immigrant students who graduate from California high schools to apply for Cal Grant Loans, and community college fee waivers.

Sen. Barack Obama helped pass a similar bill while serving in the Illinois State Senate and is now pushing California to do the same.”
