Twenty years ago this month, 59 percent of California voters passed a ballot measure designed to set up a state-run immigration system and deny most public benefits -- including K-12 education -- to illegal immigrants. Proposition 187 was widely viewed as one of the harshest anti-immigrant measures in the country.
But when President Barack Obama last week signed executive orders to protect about 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation, there were only muted protests in the Golden State. And polls show that more Californians back Obama on this than oppose him.

California today is a much different place than what it was. Twenty five percent of the population lives in poverty. In my Central California coast town 85% of the births at the local hospital are funded by MediCal (Medicaid), 85% of the kids get free lunch at the local schools. Yeah it's a much better place.
Yeah it's a much better place.
And Governor Moombeam is working hard to make it even BETTER!!
The results of which can now be seen in every single city and state in the U.S.
And the feds, greedy employers and insider friends in Sacramento and D.C. did the country right by putting a stop to it.
I'm so glad they declared that election illegal. Just look at the results.
Looken sharp America!
Different Californians. Figure it out.
The catch is in our own law. You can deny education or benefits to illegals, but their kids born here are citizens and entitled to it as much as our own. The only cure is to change that law so only children born here of parents LEGALLY present are automatically citizens.
10% of the workforce in california are illegals. California is a self declared “sanctuary state”. By decree of the california government, any and all illegals are welcome to invade the state, without reprecussions, and will help themselves to whatever the legal citizens have to offer.
In the rest of the world, this would be called an “invasion” by a foreign force.
The next mexican-american war is brewing right now. It will be an offshoot of the next american civil war, which is brewing right now.
The tensions outside of the blue areas is palpable right now, no kidding.

WHEN the SHTF, I would not want to be identified as remotely hispanic, or even be associated with anyone hispanic. And for all of the farmers out there, if you have any hispanics on your payroll, legal or otherwise, I would make plans to disappear in the near future.
That got my attention about the issue that I had never given much thought to up until then; that and the President of Mexico campaigning AGAINST the measure. The one thing that stood out when I opened my ears was that the bill provided for investigating the legal status of people after arrests. I was not very politically astute at the time and couldn't understand the opposition to that part.
Governor Gray Davis opposed and campaigned against the measure. He was the first Governor recalled by the voters.
A judge threw the will of the people out twenty years ago and allowed an ever increasing throng of illegals here to feast on our wealth, and then are surprised when support in this welfare state for illegal amnesty has gone up in the twenty years since.
Only the morons at the Mercury News would find this surprising, or try to pass it off as the result of a now-enlightened electorate.
Give it time...
The ‘people’?
The will of ‘the people’ doesn’t count for anything; it’s only the will of your Political Masters that counts.
