Cali Governor CUTS Financial Aid to AMERICANS but FUNDS Scholarships for ILLEGALS
If you thought California Governer Jerry Brown was an idiot before, wait until you hear his latest move.
Governor Brown cut off financial aid to American students but kept scholarships for illegals intact.
Why would any SANE American vote for this guy?
From Daily Caller
California Governor Jerry Brown won’t touch scholarship funding for illegal immigrant students while he cuts scholarship funding for middle-class U.S. citizens enrolled in higher education institutions, Campus Reform reports.
Awash in another budget deficit expected to hit $2 billion by this summer, Brown decided to trim education expenses — but spending on scholarships for illegals will continue to increase.
The 2017-18 Governor’s Budget detailed Brown’s intention of phasing out the Middle Class Scholarship program, which assists students who come from households with a combined income of $156,000 or less with 40 per cent of their tuition costs.
“Given the state’s overall financial condition, to continue the Administration’s support for long-term stable growth in funding…and to maintain the broad Cal Grant entitlement for the state’s neediest students, the Budget proposes a phase-out of the Middle Class Scholarship Program,” reads the budget.
The demise of the program is expected to achieve savings for the state of approximately $115 million per year by 2021.
But despite looming economic catastrophe, Brown isn’t keen on reducing scholarships for illegals who are routinely rewarded under the DREAM Act.
The Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) examined last year’s proposed budget and found that “implementation of the California Dream Act, which beginning in 2013–14 made certain undocumented and nonresident students eligible for state financial aid, accounts for $67 million of the increase in Cal Grant spending,” their report indicated.
Paul Golaszewski, Principal Fiscal & Policy Analyst for the LAO, told Campus Reform that the DREAM Act is going to cost California taxpayers $88.6 million in fiscal year 2017/18.
Many middle-class families are outraged that student illegals are untouched by budget cuts while Brown is disinterested in the financial burdens of middle class families living in highly-taxed California. They say Brown’s plan lacks a basic comprehension of middle-class need.
“I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about this stuff,” Jill Cohen-Sandler, who has a daughter who plans to attend college, said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “I’m constantly calculating, how are we going to make this work?”

may the living GOD come back soon, and destroy this evil in this world
it’s the whole world genius , are you ready for that ?
The people of Mexifornia are getting exactly the government they deserve when they had a collective brain fart and elected Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown Itr is a shame that the intelligent folks in the state have to suffer for the brain dead moron liberal children that make stupid decisions,.,,There are but two solutions for them,,,,secede from the state and create the State of North California, or have the Souther two thirds of the state fall off into the Pacific,,
The person you can be worst today is California Governor Jerry Brown. You voted this guy for governor that doesn’t care the least for his American citizens in California. Time to vote him out.
The only way to beat California’s Gov. Brown is to go to school in another State…
I didn’t vote for him ever Hoping my fellow Californians WAKE UP and stop voting for these Left wing nut jobs
He cares about Mexican La Raza and illegals votes.
” moonbeam” Brown won’t be getting the illegal
“Alien” vote next time around because our president Donald Trump will have rounded up these freeloaders and shipped them back to wherever they came from.
In addition, this decision by Moonbeam will definitely cancel out any Federal funds he asked for regarding the storm damage.
Thank God He’s not my Governor
He’s just paying for votes that he knows he’ll get… gotta stay in office to get all the graft don’t ya know.
He will be in office forever.. Until he dies….. The republicans are a very …, very small little batch of people in California! The non-workers, illegals, and Democrats out number the educated and hardworking families..
Down with brown. Impeach the bastard.
If there are illegals voting this nut case in office (as Nutty Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Wasteful Waters are), then either CA get with the program of illegal voters bused in, the dead, the non citizens, yada yada yada voting, or suffer. This is what political criminals do to Americans, they screw you over and over and over until we’re overrun with a nation where Americans are the minority.
Well well well, this hits not only Repubs but also Democrats. Wonder how the Dems will react when they lose their financial aid? Wonder if they will protest and burn things in Sacramento or others cities. That is a great way to turn people against you, but I guess Jerry Brown doesn’t care about his party. There is one person who definitely needs a mental competence test, he is off his wafer. I do have a question for the Richmond city council: Do you still want to impeach President Trump? I think you have bigger problems right in your own backyard.
California forgot what a whack-job this guy was in the 1970s!
NO MORE COMMUNIST MUD SLIME DEM O RATS
I’d assume he is being paid money from a foreign entity to keep this practice alive while back stabbing his constituents. A Closer watch of this pork spender and someone better keep him accountable.
Hey, you Idiots voted him in so Now Live with it.
Google it Mexicans out number whites in California that’s been the Democrats plan for years if Trump had hot got in office this time they would not need an American vote # wake up !
Vote him out and get someone in who knows what they are doing!
Cali Governor CUTS Financial Aid to AMERICANS but FUNDS Scholarships for ILLEGALS
Explains how he won many terms, now he’s seeking a 5th term.
IF CALI CANNOT VOTE HIM OUT, THEY DESERVE HIM. BROWN HAS BEGGED FEDS FOR MONEY ON THE DAM, WANTS TO SECEDE, WANTS SANCTUARY STATE-WANTS HIS CAKE AND EAT IT, TOO.. HE GOT MONEY FOR DAM PREVIOUSLY AND SPENT IT ON ILLEGALS, NOW, HE CAN STICK THEM UP HIS ASS. I HOPE HE IS THE FIRST ONE TO GO TO JAIL FOR NOT FOLLOWING THE LAW.
All I can say is that I think California is a lost cause. I pray that the good, honest, & patriotic people find a way to leave. Find a new home in a state that will support your beliefs and the way you want to live your life. If all he wants to do is support illegals, then maybe that is all he should have in his state. With having sanctuary cities, and now turning his back on the legal US citizens, he will most likely loose more funding and left to fend for himself. Leave now while you can, because I’m sure once he realizes that he can loose most of his actually working citizens, then I’m sure he would find a way to make it difficult for you leave.
