Listen, you are missing the point.
Do I think that undocumented people should be able to get financial help to finish their college eduction? Of course but it's like wanting world peace.
Is it feasible? Absolutely not.
Basically what will happen is that the first wave of people will get this and then after a while the money will run out, and this whole process will further crumble the already shaky system. Yeah, people in the first group will be happy but what about the next group that needs to be supported by the first group whose higher incomes and thus higher taxes were suppose to generate the extra revenue needed for the expansion of the program? What if you are in the second group?
Cali is not Texas. The state is in horrible debt right now, and it is not like there is this huge surplus of money that is just being allocated for financial aid.

Whoa, going to a college that costs $30k a year and feeling entitled to financial aid is just surreal.
