Immigrants may be aided by bill OK'd by Assembly

A bill that would allow undocumented immigrants to apply for financial aid at California community colleges was approved by the state Assembly on Thursday.

The bill, by Sen. Martha Escutia, D-Norwalk, would direct the board of governors to establish a process so students without legal immigration status can apply to have tuition waived.

It's sobering to realize that this proposal was passed in the middle of a fiscal crisis that has already caused a recall of the governor. The Libertarian ideology includes the concept of open borders, but open borders don't work in the presence of a welfare state.
