About 20 years ago, my wife was denied admission to Cal State University @ San Marcos due to "lack of room". The same day she got her rejection letter, a local news channel highlighted a program in the evening news where ILLEGAL FUCKING IMMIGRANTS were being admitted to CSU-SM. One of those ILLEGALS literally displaced my wife. Federal dollars supplement the budget of that school, including taxes paid by people who are being DENIED services for residents.
I hope to hell that bullshit has ended-- but the State of California likely continues to save spots for Illegal Immigrants and DENY spots to state RESIDENTS who pay taxes there.
