Guess Where UCLA Is Getting Interns For The Summer…

It's not even just WHO they've got working as interns, but also how those interns are getting the positions!

According to this, the UCLA Labor Center's Dream Resource Center (yes, I know – they used "Center" in their name twice) is allowing illegal immigrants to apply for internships this summer. The funny thing is that while illegal immigrants don't have to provide information about their immigration status, international students who actually have visas and passports and documentation giving them permission to be in the country are required to provide that information when they apply for the same internships.

(Oh, and PS – the program is meant to train students to advocate for immigration reform and to make sure illegal immigrants have all kinds of protections and freebies while they're in the United States. Which is probably where that stupid and dangerous "Sanctuary City" concept came from. You know, the policy that is basically responsible for the murder of Kate Steinle? Yep. That one.)

Which begs the question – why bother getting student visas in the first place? Just hop over the border and say you're here for school and nobody will bat an eye! Simple, really.

Quoting from Campus Reform –

The Center says the program began in 2011 after the U.S. Senate failed to pass the DREAM Act in 2010, which would have given a path to citizenship to illegal immigrants who came to the United states before the age of 16. The program claims to have provided 418 internship opportunities to immigrant youth throughout the nation.

 

UCLA is among the growing number of University of California schools, including UC San Diego and UC Berkeley, to provide academic scholarships and opportunities exclusively for illegal immigrants, some of whom move on to become active spokesmen for immigration reform.

 

The US Census Bureau reports that as of July 1, 2014, Hispanics were the predominant ethnic population of California’s roughly 14.99 million residents. An estimated 68 percent of the state’s undocumented population is Mexican-born.

 

Seth Ronquillo, a spokesman for the Dream Resource Center, told the Daily Bruin, “Many of the participants in the program go on to become the leaders of the immigration reform movement. By working in social justice organizations, they are given the resources they need to continue in activism.”

 

For international students, the requirement is more stringent. “Students have to get credit for paid as well as unpaid internships to stay in the U.S. on an educational F-1 visa with approval from the Dashew Center for International Students and Scholars,” the Daily Bruin reports.

Basically, the nuts who are promoting all these protections for people who are glorified criminals, are more or less criminals themselves. And they're being educated at taxpayer-funded universities so they can make sure MORE criminals can make it into the country illegally. That's the definition of a criminal – I know liberals are a little fuzzy on that definition and they want to make it sound like these immigrants are just misunderstood teddy bears who are within their rights to flout the rule of United States law and people who uphold the law are just so MEEEEEEEEEAN! And RAAAAACIST!

The article ends with this quote, which lays out all the problems with the Center's program –

“I feel that UCLA as a public institution in California was established to educated the citizens of California as well as the U.S. and legal international students, not illegal immigrants. By only offering these paid internships to illegal immigrants UCLA is not only hurting law abiding citizens who are of all ethnicities including Hispanic, but they are also promoting and sponsoring people who are breaking the laws of our state and country. [This] is ironic since some of their funding comes from the state in which they are advocating for people to break this state's law,” Alexis Moran, a second-year Hispanic student at UCLA told Campus Reform

All good points, but I doubt anyone of consequence will listen. Because it's California and California's full of crazy liberal Democrats and the Democrats need voters.
