California Passes Law Granting In-State Tuition Perks to Mexican Citizens

(Headline USACalifornia passed legislation this week allowing certain Mexican citizens to pay in-state tuition at community colleges within the Golden State.

The law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday, allows low-income Mexican residents living within 45 miles of the California–Mexico border to apply for a pilot program that would grant them tuition benefits. Those eligible will be accepted for in-state tuition rates.

The current average California community college tuition per year is $1,246 for in-state students and $6,603 for those from out-of-state.

California Democrats said the purpose of the law is to help low-income Mexicans who want to attend college and prepare them for jobs. 

California State Assemblymember David Alvarez, who authored the bill, also claimed the benefits wouldn’t just go to Mexican nationals. more

  1. ^^^ I don’t think so. As you know (or should), for every Republican in the state, there are 2 Democrats. This ratio has held steady in the last few elections and in Newsom’s recall.

    Yes, this should be on the ballot, and I would vote against it, but in this state, if the Dems want it, it usually passes.

  2. “I don’t think so. As you know (or should), for every Republican in the state, there are 2 Democrats.”

    Here’s why you’re wrong. There’s only so many butts you can put in those seats. Hispanic Americans figured that out. And so did the Black population. It would have gone down in flames, just like prop 8. Why are we no longer aloud to vote on any legislation. I guess self rule is over in California.

  3. ^^^ not at all convincing.

    The democrats rule California, the democrats love immigrants, and the democrats all view social justice as “A Thing”, ergo, if they want it, it will pass. Case closed.
