A day of boisterous protests over cuts to higher education that included thousands of students swarming the state Capitol ended with dozens of arrests after demonstrators refused to leave the building.
Authorities on Monday evening arrested 68 people, most of whom will be charged with trespassing, the California Highway Patrol said. Four people were arrested earlier in the day.
Police started pulling out protesters who remained in the Capitol rotunda around 7:30 p.m., more than an hour after they began warning them with a bullhorn to leave.
Protesters chanted “We’re doing this for your kids,” as one by one they were lifted by the arms, handcuffed with plastic ties, and led away.

I've got an idea for you California. Quit paying for the illegal aliens higher education, then your kids who are citizens can afford it!
Part III: I am for LEGAL immigration and I'm very strongly against ILLEGAL Immigration regardless if they have the skills and technology the U.S. might need.
For good measure, they shouldn't be allowed back into the United States while the U.S. models its illegal immigration policies similar to those enforced in other countries (e.g.: China, Sudan, etc.) as demonstrated in the following video by Ray Stevens, copyrighted by Ray Stevens and those associated with him (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgOHOHKBEqE&feature=relmfu). –Continued–
Part IV: I am for the strict enforcement of the Constitution of the United States (save for the 16th Amendment [i.e.: the Income tax amendment]) 100% of the time towards everyone and everything within the borders of the United States as The Supreme Law of the Land, along with the Judeo-Christian, Western Way of Life, free market capitalism/free enterprise, the fundamental values and principles that have made our country great, and for the U.S. military and their familites to be aided, supported, protected, given hand-ups (not hand-outs), and strengthened in each and every conceivable way in every shape, way, and form. To hell with political correctness and evil wherever it may exist since I rather die on my feet as a free man and as a freedom loving, God fearing, proud, unabashed, and unafraid, unhyphenated American than live on my knees as a slave or being perpetually dependent on others, whether it be the Federal Government or to any Foreign Power for even one second under any circumstances. –Continued–
Part V: May God bless and protect the United States military and their families, our brave men and women fighting in the Middle East and all throughout the world, sacrificing everything so that we may be free and safe from enemies such as Islam, Russia, and China who want nothing more than to completely subvert and/or eventually kill all of us without mercy or remorse, Andrew Breitbart's family and loved ones, Glenn Beck, the TEa Party, good, old-fashioned, hard-working Americans, the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, the Judeo-Christian, Western Way of Life, Free Market Capitalism/Free Enterprise, and the State of Israel as an independent Jewish State. Amen.
@Stephen G. Thank you for putting it so very well.
