California Democrats are optimistic that a new law to give discounted college tuition to Mexican citizens could help grow the Southern California workforce.
“We live in a dynamic border region where we need to educate more students to fill the jobs required for growth,” Alvarez said in a statement. “This bill will allow low-income residents who live close to the border to attend local community colleges.” The law creates a five-year pilot program that allows Mexican citizens to be exempt from out-of-state tuition rates. Dr. Mark Sanchez, president of Southwestern College in Southern California, applauded the program for what it has the potential to do for the local economy.
