The state Assembly has approved a bill that would allow college students who are illegal immigrants to apply for private scholarships.

Lawmakers on Thursday passed AB130, by Democratic Assemblyman Gil Cedillo of Los Angeles, on a 51-21 party-line vote.

The bill affects students who are in the country illegally but are paying in-state tuition at California colleges and universities. It allows them to collect scholarships not funded by public dollars.

Another bill by Cedillo, still in committee, would make those students eligible for state-funded financial aid. Cedillo called

his bill The California Dream Act, but unlike the federal Dream Act legislation it does not include a path to citizenship.

He said students should not be punished because their parents brought them into the country illegally. AB130 heads to the Senate.

Yes please, you could even include additional provisions to it like we're only allowed to buy low carbon emission vehicles or smart cars. this way we would have a noticeable impact on traffic? idk....sounds like a fair idea to me. traffic is getting to overcrowded in big cities and air population is horrible. dreamies shouldnt get junk yard cars that drive around without smog checks...
