University Of California Ditches Plan To Hire Student Illegals, Enraging Protesters<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The University of California has backed off a plan to hire undocumented students on campuses, ignoring the demands of hunger-striking protesters.<\/p>\n

Betzaida, an undocumented student with the Opportunity for All campaign, cries in reaction to the University of California Regents’ vote to suspend consideration of a proposal to allow the university to hire undocumented students at the UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center on Jan. 25, 2024.\u00a0 (Martin do Nascimento\/KQED)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

On Thursday, the University of California Governing Board of Regents announced the move, which will affect roughly 4,000 current students who aren’t legal residents.<\/p>\n

“We have concluded that the proposed legal pathway is not viable at this time,” said UC President Michael Drake, adding that it “in fact, carries significant risks <\/strong>for the institution and for those who we serve.”<\/p>\n

One UCLA student who’s an illegal told ABC30<\/em>, “I have fought for my education.<\/strong> I have fought and worked hard to be where I am today. Nothing, absolutely nothing, has been handed to me.”<\/p>\n

Except the opportunity for an education that a legal resident isn’t enjoying, but aside from that…\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

The student is one of a group of people who have been on a hunger strike since Tuesday<\/em><\/strong> over the issue while waiting for a decision from the board of regents, which is made up of 26 members.<\/p>\n

Maybe become a legal resident and try again?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
