Snorlax94, re: the UC system and non-CA residents. I think it's important to recognize that, for graduate students, non-CA residents who are US citizens become CA residents after one year. I, for one, am happy to help pay for the education and training of these new "immigrants."
I know that the international-student question is more problematic for some folks, but international students (and out-of-state undergraduates) pay significantly more to attend a campus of the UC system than their CA-resident counterparts. So, yes, they are a revenue stream. How we got to this point and whether or not that is the right way to run a state University are questions with very complex answers.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
