Jerry Brown’s victory in the general election this month could be great news for California’s Latinos, according to an article in the Sacramento Bee.
He is expected to sign a bill that Governor Scharzenegger voted four times, that would let undocumented college students apply for financial aid from a pool of money that is private but administered by state colleges and universities.
Here are a few excerpts from the Bee article:
In the 1970s, Brown appointed the first Latinos to positions of California state power. He signed the nation’s only law to give farmworkers the right to choose unions.
“I’m not ashamed of the fact that people, particularly when they’re poor and when they don’t have power, and they don’t even speak English, they need a strong lawyer advocate standing in their corner,” Brown said in Fresno.
“I’m going to treat everybody, whether they’re documented or not,” he said, “as God’s child, and my brothers and sisters.”
He vowed that as governor he’d “do whatever I can” to get Congress to approve laws that include a path to legal status.
“Do we deport 2 million people in California, 11 million people throughout the country?” he said. “This is a real human tragedy.”
“Jerry Brown expected to be a big supporter of California’s Latinos”……… Hmmmm
That is what you said about Obama too and he handcuffed 9 year old girl, hands back, as she could overcome sheriff goons and dumped her in Tijuana without even allowing her to take her toys.
When do you gone learn ZORO…… the Liberals are not your people.
Too bad he can’t be a supporters for all us Californians, especially those of us who aren’t looking for a handout and legally live and work here.
pedroza supports law breakers . illegals , this is the handout state that is why the voted for moonbeam . i am going to have a big smile on my face when zorros party sinks this state into the ground .
Has Cuba sunk into the ground yet?
no but mexico has . at least in your sloppy country they can at least have a say in how bad they want to go the stinkhole .
Mexico’s problems are largely the fault of Americans who use drugs and Americans who illegally sell guns to Mexican criminals.
I hope you arent a voter, because you are not very smart!
Mexico problems start with its people!
There are millions of Mexican citizens and a few thousand drug lords!
The people deserve the country they get; because quite frankly, I don’t think they give a crap! If they did there would be a Mexican Tea Party!
But alas for Mexico, that is not going to happen! They are a weak and detached population!
I have to correct you MQ: there is lot of resistance in Mexico even more than here. There are nonstop protests in Mexico city main square and Reforma Blvd.
However, it is all misdirected effort mostly Liberal and leftist so they are drifting where all the bolshevics ended up since the famous 18 century France Communist revolution liberté, égalité, fraternité bulshit.
In addition Mexicans are told by their own government that the government is bound by the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, between Mexico and USA, to keep Mexico poor……. and Mexicans believe that. Same doez ZORRO
ZORRO can you download a text which says that?
Just like the stupid protest in Dublin today with their Socialist flag!
The Mexicans are poor, because they no, no better! The Irish are socialists because they no, no better and both countries are facing a slow death!
Instead of embracing the values of this country the Mexicans have brought the bad elements of their own country!
Young mothering, lack of priority when it comes to education and a deep distaste for the white man!
Honestly, I never thought I would ever think about my race until I came face to face with the uneasy fact that being white in a Mexican neighborhood in the US; was like being a catholic in a protestant neighborhood in Belfast!
And that is the truth!
DITTO MQ!
Ironically all the x-East European communist countries are prosperous in the EU and the so called West European countries are failing. It is because the East was so hungry for self reliance thy instantly rebuild and the West became more and more government dependent.
What really is beyond my understanding is that ZORRO and comrade sub. Vern cant see that. If you cant see the obvious are you a live or dead?
They say it is corporations fault.
The biggest Billionaire corporations now are Google and Face-book.
And they provide everything for free.
Yet they are evil.
This can be corrected only by the apocalypse like earth flood and kill evetrione to eliminate the Liberal gene and start all over again.
There is no other solution and I would gladly die so the next evolutionary humane race is free of this liberal sickness.
sure art blame the usa for mexico problems what a fool ..your new name is stevie wonder . or john lovits yeah thats it , yeah its the usa problems why mexico is doing so bad ..
Neoliberal structural adjustments starting in the 80′s and continuing with NAFTA in 1994
Jerry Brown will only add to the problems in California, they started with him anyway. I love how he says, he didnt creat this problem (sounds like Obama) liberal law makers create problems. They let Californias spending get out of control. Boxer and Feinstein, they are all corrupt. We need to tax the spanish language, that will fix the freakin problems. We will have enough money in one week to fix the budget and the rest of the leaches will flee out of here! Its a win / win!
Governor Elect Brown needs to make the call to Washington pretty quickly.
I will join 11 other Southern Californians on a tour of Mexico, leaving Monday. Despite our safety being assured we were asked to have our affairs in order.
Mexico is a dangerous place right now. It’s problems represent a “clear and present danger” to America. Not to be overly dramatic.
I am at a loss as to how naive most people (especially the Democrats) are with regard to:
A) The plight of the people there (and the refugfees here).
B) The ongoing denial of repeated administrations of the issues facing our neighbor.
C) Funding a WAR against a country who was the second poorest on the planet the day we attacked, and is now one of the richest (per capita)?
I hope to report back that hope exists but, I am prepared to tell everyone that the situation in Mexico is bleak.
Of course it is bleak for God sake!!!!!!
Who the hell is going to listen to you! Know one cares! The Mexicans are too busy in Mexico keeping their noses down and they are too busy here keeping their noses up!
Mexicans are more likely to fight for a place in this country, than fight for the survival of their own country!
They constantly remind us of the fact that this is THEIR land, while leaving and disregarding this rest of their LAND! Other words: this land is more valuable than the whole of Mexico!
They are not refugee’s! The Mexicans here have become unwelcome quests! They have caused so much animosity in this country by abusing and misusing the hospitality of the citizens of this country! Yes, they work and they work hard. But so do I and I have never expected sh(* in return!
The only hope for Mexico is that its people who range in the millions have as much balls in their own country as they seem to have in this country!
Just saying!
You’re taking a bus in and the Mexicans are walking here!
Michelle Said:
“Who the hell is going to listen to you! Know one cares!”
Well obviously someone does. because YOU are sending me there. I am attending a State Department sponsored trip.
And I am pretty sure “someone cares” not “Know one”.
Mr. Quinn, I am not taking a bus, rather a Gulfstream!
All of these BS problems can be solved with the annexation of Mexico into the United States.
The opening up of the great southern territory to Americanism style expansion would free the inhabitants from a dysfunctional government and armies of criminal drug Kingpins.
Just think, as the hard working Americans carve out their American dream in the New American expansion territory, California’s population would drop substantially, leaving only the social liberals and retired government worker, who would then be forced to feed upon themselves like cannibals.
As California collapses under it’s mismanagement, what is the stop a free people from moving south? I know a lot of people who go south for a couple weeks every year, they have staked out they plots of land already.
Who would stop them? (How about a swap? California for Mexico)
And what would we do with million’s of people who in most cases cannot even read and write in their own language? That is why we have the stupid HABLA program that is funded by Healthy families commission! STUPID!
America needs to close up its border to the South and stop the money flowing back to Mexico from the US. The money sent back to Mexico from America is vital to the Mexican economy! You take away the easy cash and the Mexican Government would be forced to go it alone!
The American Governing body is killing the Mexican Dream because the Mexicans are too busy wanting the American dream! Except it is not a dream for average American people when thousands of foreign speaking third world people start moving into their neighborhoods! Then it becomes a cultural disaster and ends up in a city like Santa Ana!
“America needs to close up its border to the South and stop the money flowing back to Mexico from the US.”…… Hmmmm
That is absolutely stupid idea. MQ
See recent Iron curtain and what happened to Eastern Europe to isolate themselves and what happened when they tared it down.
We need same arrangement like EU has between themselves.
Look at ancient Chines Great Wall and what it did for China.
Look what happened when China opened their borders…… they are supper powers.
Half of the Mexicans like to move between Mexico and USA and now they stuck on this side. If the border would be opened we would have less than half of the illegals here.
We need unrestricted move but no welfare for nonresidents.
The annexation of Mexico, as proposed by Cook is much better idea.
Who is Michelle Quinn?
Michelle Quinn is a knucklehead who needs to go back to school and learn basic grammar, syntax and spelling.
