representative and administrator for two student groups pushing for immigration reform. “We have the right to have an education,” Ramos said of herself and the many others like her in California and throughout the country. It is a view not shared by the Center for Immigration Studies, a New York-based think tank that bills itself as being for lower rates immigration while simultaneously being pro-immigrant. “I don’t think that you can argue that it’s a human right when we don’t have a completely socialized education plan,” Brian Griffith, a spokesman for CIS said. Griffith took the stance that ultimately when it comes to funding programs like Cal Grants — which, under the new law Ramos will be eligible for — it is a “zero-sum game.” Unless the state has an unlimited amount of funds, he reasoned, the new law will inevitably take money out of the hands of U.S. citizens. But according to Lori Nezhura, legislative director for the California Student Aid Commission, the pool of money Dream Act students will draw upon for Cal Grant money won’t run out. Though Dream Act students can qualify for both “competitive” and “entitlement” Cal Grants, Nezhura said, there is almost no chance any Dream Act students will be awarded a competitive grant, since priority for them goes to California residents and there aren’t enough of those grants to go around. However, the state guarantees that all who qualify for an entitlement Cal Grant will receive a predetermined amount of money, therefore, those who qualify for these grants under the Dream Act will not diminish the money received by California residents, nor will they deprive them of grants. One Mountain View resident has put his bachelor’s degree from Santa Clara University to use in the nonprofit sector, even though he is not a legal citizen. Jose Ivan Arreola moved to Mountain View from Durango, Mexico when he was 4 years old. “It was an opportunity,” Arreola said of his parent’s decision to migrate north. “They wanted more for me. I think that was really their greatest wish.” Arreola has spent his entire life in Mountain View and was able to secure private scholarships that paid for his entire education at Santa Clara University. He uses his degree in the volunteer work he does with Educators for Fair Consideration, an advocacy group that fights for the passage of laws like the Dream Act. “I’m very fortunate to have a Continued on next page
