You know why that is? Because Californians refuse to raise taxes.
Jerry brown is a democrat.(I think this time)

Did he choose to cut education? If so, he's as fucking reactionary as the Republican party and twice as spineless as your average Democrat.
So they are getting education regardless of this law.

That's not college education.
It would cost far too much to be possible especially now.

Like hell. It'd cost far too much to NOT do it. The future price of not doing so is dozens of times greater than the present price of doing so.


Yeah, there were pretty hefty cuts proposed to the UC and CSU systems. http://www.kpbs.org/news/2011/feb/01/ho ... uc-system/ (looking for linky showing cuts went through)

So much so that both schools again had to look for ways (ie., tuition hikes) to patch the predicted shortfall. I think the UC system is looking to raise its tuition by 15%, while the CSU system is looking to do nearly the same.

Hell, my tuition has doubled during my 5 years at Cal Poly Pomona, a CSU school. Yes, it's still only $6,000 a year (tuition only), but it has nonetheless doubled.

Aren't parents responsible for making sure that their children get an education?

If an illegal immigrant is able to come into the country and perform better in school than our own, domestically-born citizens, then we should be pretty ashamed in the first place.

Infrastructure should be updated and expanded to deal with influxes in immigration. If schools become crowded because more people are able to attend them, then build more schools. If hospitals are buckling under the pressure of giving immigrants free emergency healthcare, then find a way to get immigrants to pay for their healthcare. In my opinion, blaming immigration is totally backwards. How would California be able to handle an influx of legal intrastate migration of actual citizens, if it can't even accommodate immigrants from Mexico?

You people have no understanding of california so I would appreciate it if you would actually learn something.
AS being a resident in California you are all sounding very ignorant as to california's situation.

Not only do they seem ignorant of the situation, but they only care about a politically correct outcome.

nice edit.

Naive people think it is the governments job.Since that is who they rely of whenever it seems like there is a wounded animal in the woods.
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM!Because they are a bunch of people who either are not capable or do not wish to do the work to actually help those they believe should help,themselves.

Our workforce would have to be willing to work for third-world wages at third-world hours with third-world regulations, which will not sustain anyone on even a basic level in the First world. Our unskilled workforce cannot and should not try to compete for sweatshop jobs.

Incorrect.
The biggest reason for outsource is wages.
But shipping costs a boatload.
So you need to lessen wages not make them the same as 3rd world.
It makes it harder to live for sure.
But then that is where charity comes in/government assistance.

So let me get this straight...

You advocate making our workforce work for less... Contribute less to the economy... Enjoy a lessened standard of living... And have the government pay for it... In order to reduce our debt problem?

What. The. Fuck.

WE have debt that is being paid off at the expense of quality of life.
They CAN go to college.Nothing is preventing them from doing it.
This law simply makes us pay for some of it.

Isn't escaping a country in the grips of a drug war by crossing a hostile border, having to trust that the guy you paid your life savings to isn't going to leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere pretty hard work?

Just because you lower the wages doesn't mean that the company WANTS to hire more workers.

There is demand in america and companies can save on shipping if they can manufacture/assemble here.
Jobs are already coming back slowly because the wages in those countries are rising.

Nothing says they have to contribute here.
