California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill allowing illegal immigrant students to work campus jobs, citing legal concerns as he distances himself from progressive initiatives.
In another push to distance himself from his state's more progressive initiatives, California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have allowed illegal immigrant public university students such as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients to have on-campus jobs. This is the second time this month Newsom has nixed a bill that would have greatly expanded aid to illegal immigrants.
Unfortunately, AB 2586 does not protect our undocumented students or employees from prosecution, nor does it protect the University from the risk of potentially losing billions in federal dollars,' UC Legislative Director Mario Guerrero wrote in a letter to the state's Senate appropriations committee. 'We would welcome working with the author and Legislature on other legal options to support these students,' the letter, sent in July, read.
Illegal immigration is one of the top issues in the 2024 race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. The Biden-Harris administration has been blamed for the crisis at the southern border over their weaker border policies and pro-illegal immigrant rhetoric.
