California Dream Act Problem

......

So basically, all words and no solution....hmmmm

wtf why was this not mentioned in bill? this means that unless DA passes or some1 gets married w/ american citizen, there is no way of affirming it...

As passed in the Senate, there is no part of the Bill, or even its introduction, that includes the word "affirm." Nor is the phrase "academic standard." Not sure where the author got his text from.

Yea this is probably just a bs... I went through the legislation and there's nothing about this

If you read the text the requirements are exactly like the AB540 ones. I think the confusion is because of the press release the governor release on Saturday shortly after he signed. http://gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=17268

I think that article is kind of misleading,by saying that
""they must affirm that they are in the process of applying to legalize their immigration status", it simply means that they are going to sign the affidavit of intent form, which simply states that students who qualify intent to become permanent residents in the future and won't engage in any unlawful activities."Like dreamers do in Texas and New Mexico, Its like a pledge saying that you will continue to show good moral character and intend on becoming a productive resident of society."

^Yeah, we had to do the same thing for AB 540, it's just like a promise to get legalized once you have a chance.

^ Yeah that.

well the CA is going to be on the 2012 ballot....i'm guessing it would get voted down with all the misinformation. -_-
