California Dream Act

Brown is the new governor of California and he is working to pass the California Dream Act Even though I don't live in Ca, good luck to all those undocumented students who do!

I have a question for all of you. Lets say, hypothetically, the Dream Act passes under the Senate within the lame duck session. It has to go to the House, right? Will it be passed under the lame duck session House or the new congressional House?

If it passes under the Senate in the lame-duck it has to pass the House before the session is over (around Christmas) But I don't think we have to worry too much about it passing the House during the lame-duck.

So this means that Cali. Dreamers are going to get a path to legal status.

No it means undocumented students can pay in state tuition in California I believe. The state can't give legal status, only the federal government.

No, this California DREAM Act will make California's undocumented students eligible for financial aid. California's undocumented students are already eligible for instate tuition.

pass the federal dream act, i can care less about cali dream act (i'm from cali)

^Agreed! (I'm from Cali too)

lora where have u been!

really? this is great if it is true.

but what happens if it passes the senate in the lame duck, but the house does not get to it in time before the new congress?
