Rainbows.
Once in awhile there are rainbows. Yesterday, the CA State Senate passed a bill to allow our undocumented brothers and sisters the right to obtain student loans from the state to attend California universities. Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) authored SB 1210, which would initially allocate $9.2 million in public funds for such loans. Also, SB 935 just passed. This bill would increase the minimum wage, on and after January 1, 2015, to not less than $11 per hour, on and after January 1, 2016, to not less than $12 per hour, and on and after January 1, 2017, to not less than $13 per hour. Both measures now go to the state assembly.
Fight for Health Justice
Without comprehensive care our immigrant communities will continue to face barriers to treating easily preventable conditions that could mean the difference between life and death. As our journey for health justice continues, our resolve remains strong and we will continue to work to heal the exclusive health policies that currently put California families in the red zone.
In the coming months, CIPC and our partners will intensify the fight to ensure that all Californians have access to affordable health care. Our state has come a long way since the days of Prop 187, and we need to be a national leader in fully including all immigrants. We urge policymakers to remember that investing in immigrant families is investing in the future success of California as a whole.

Incarceration of Undocumented
While this editorial positively exposes the incarceration of undocumented immigrants unjustly, it fails to point out how much the prison industrial complex is making in profits by holding them for long periods of time or moving them around from prison to prison without charging them.
