Governor Newsom's Second Veto: A Calculated Betrayal of California's Undocumented Students
Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill for the second time in three years that would have allowed undocumented students to work in California's public universities, citing legal risks and a need for federal court clarity on a novel legal theory. This decision perpetuates a cruel financial and structural barrier for tens of thousands of students striving for an education and a better life, betraying California's professed commitment to opportunity and leaving vulnerable young people in an impossible bind.
