AB 131: Good news only for recent undocumented high school graduates.

I checked the Cal Grants website, and AB 131 will not help me in any shape or form.

Four words: gives us work permits. Damn it!

only the Federal GOVT. can give us work permits. (I could really use this bill)

When did you graduate from high school?

I graduated in 2008. I only been taking 6-9 credits per semester due to increasing tuition cost. With this bill i can take a full schedule and be able to afford the books.

I see. The thing that really angers me is the "recent" high school graduate requirement. I hope you are eligible because I went through hell, fire, and brimstone to reach my senior year; I graduate next semester.

This is where I was confused in terms of work permits. Utah actually "ratified" a bill, but requires approval by the federal government:

That would be interesting, but I honestly doubt the Federal government would allow it to slide, simply because it raises the very real and dangerous possibility of states actually having their own immigration laws.

How recent doe it have to be?

Where does it actually says you have to be a recent high-school graduate??

get your facts straight, "Smooth".
