And as you can attest, Loretta Sanchez is nowhere to be found discussing this issue. Instead, she’s condescending to the “Dream Act,” that’s its not worthy of her vote, and as Gustavo Arellano has informed us, she is very busy telling lies to descendants of Richard Nixon. So the Low-Low isn’t taken a stance on any political issue, except of course to tell lies to little kids. How is that for real political leadership?

You would think that two Senators and the biggest Congressional delegation in the country would have caught this. They probably did.

They are trying everything they can to keep people from getting an education…

GI Bill Ignores CA Vets

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5idNbLc0OaTcdSlSZw4vfB6RNzf-QD99945SG3

When the new GI Bill kicks in Aug. 1, the government’s best-known education program for veterans will get the biggest boost since its World War II-era creation. But the benefit is hardly the “Government Issue,” one-size-fits-all standard the name implies…

Veterans who choose a private school in Texas could get close to $20,000 a semester from the government for a typical course load. Those picking schools in California will get nothing for tuition…

As a result, the new GI Bill is a great deal for such vets in states like New Hampshire, New York and Texas; a pretty good one in states like Ohio; and hardly any deal at all in Massachusetts and especially California, where the state constitution prohibits public universities from charging tuition. Instead, California’s public universities typically charge “fees” of several thousand dollars per year.

Critics argue the Department of Veterans Affairs misinterpreted the law and should have combined tuition and fees in coming up with reimbursement levels. That would have put the total California benefit at around $13,000 per year.

Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., has introduced legislation that would correct the discrepancy in California.

This is certainly no surprise. Her character is so accustomed to telling so many lies in the course of twenty-four hours, that she is everything and nothing at the same time. It’s just another mean-spirited ugly comment from Low-Low, and she has made a career doing exactly that.

Shameful story, but what were the parents thinking, first they came to the US illegally. They had twenty years to rectify residency status, etc. Walter Lara states, “My parents never talked to me about my immigration status because they feared that this knowledge would cause me to think less of myself and my abilities.” How could a parent say this to a child, without knowing they would put their child in immigration jeapardy later in life; or did they think that initiating a proper path to citizenship not be important? Ignorance is bliss till reality hits… Walter Lara is definitley American inside and out and needs to stay in the US where he belongs.

I knew about Lara, but had not yet seen him on video. I can’t imagine how anyone could not have empathy for someone like him. It’s not just our immigration system that is broken, it’s our collective soul too.
