Efforts are underway to repeal California’s DREAM Act, a recently passed law that allows undocumented students to apply for non-state funded scholarships and public financial aid to attend public colleges and universities in California.

State Assemblyman Tim Donnelly is gathering signatures to challenge the law by way of voter referendum.

“At a time when we’re broke, when we have 2 million people unemployed, when state colleges are underfunded and overbooked, we’re creating a brand-new entitlement,” Donnelly said.
