I will never understand why California taxpayers put up with this at their public universities.

Public university opens taxpayer-funded campus center for illegal immigrants

Forget multicultural or women’s centers, a public university in California is debuting a new center for students residing in the country illegally called the “Dream Success Center.”

The center will open Monday at Cal State Long Beach (CSULB) inside the university’s student union and is the fourth center of its kind within the CSU system. Currently, Cal State Northridge, Cal State Fullerton, and Cal State Los Angeles offer similar resources for illegal immigrants on their campuses.

Students visiting the center will be provided with a number of tools ranging from academic counseling and guidance on career development to information on how to secure financial aid. According to the Long Beach Press-Telegram, students will also have computers available for their use within the center.

Karina Hernandez, president of CSULB’s Future Underrepresented Education Leaders (FUEL)—a student organization for undocumented students—says the Dream Success Center will help reduce undocumented students’ uncertainty surrounding their financial aid and career options.

“That’s why I think a dream resource center is extremely important, because I feel like through there, those things can be clarified,” Hernandez told the Press-Telegram last Mayduring talks with the university about the center’s creation.

“A center serves as not only a physical space dedicated to their unique needs as students but as a commitment from the university to prioritize student success,” said Edgar Romo, who will serve as the center’s full-time Dream Success coordinator.“For those looking to attend California State University, Long Beach, it can signal a welcoming environment and a place of academic and personal support.”
