It’s Round 3 in Obama vs. Schwarzenegger on college scholarships for illegal immigrants.

The Los Angeles Times reports that the Illinois senator and Democratic presidential candidate visited Garfield High School, setting for the movie Stand and Deliver, about a math teacher’s efforts to inspire his Latino students. There, he criticized Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s veto of a measure that would have made some illegal immigrants eligible for the state’s need-based aid program and for fee waivers provided to low-income students at community colleges.

Mr. Obama, who has spoken out repeatedly on the issue, said during a question-and-answer session that if a student had been brought to this country illegally but had been going to school “like every other American child, it is cruel and stupid for us to suddenly say to them: ‘We’re not going to give you college scholarships. We’re not going to let you finance your college education.’”
