Group holds petition signing against Dream Act
A group of anti-illegal immigration activists held a "Park N Sign" Friday at the Colonies Crossroads shopping center in north Upland.
They gathered signatures from drivers-by to stop AB 131, known as the California Dream Act.
Motorists would park and the activities would deliver petitions to their vehicles for them to sign.
Signature-collection events are scheduled up and down the state through January.
Opponents are seeking to gather a minimum of 505,000 signatures to file their petition in January.
The legislation gives undocumented students in California the opportunity to apply for financial aid.
The legislation has drawn stong opposition from anti-illegal immigration groups, including Claremont-based We the People California's Crusader, which organized Friday's event.
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Hesperia, has also been vocal in his opposition and even made an appearance Friday.
Assemblyman Mike Morrell, R-Rancho Cucamonga and Upland Mayor Ray Musser also stopped by.
