Cal grants,etc are given first to residents who qualify, so given the budget of California, illegal immigrants may end up not getting any benefits at all. The fact that this passed just gets up hopes of illegal immigrants and when they find out their is no money left they are really going to feel let down.
The Democrats in in California legislature should have waited until California has a sustainable budget before having voted on financial aid. Now citizens of California could call for a vote
at the polls on financial aid similar to what is happening in Maryland. If you ask me, the democrats in california just made a stupid move.
