Immigration: California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a repeal of 1994's overturned Prop. 187, calling it a law that "has no place on the state's books." What do you call a man who claims voters' choices have no place in government?
In most places out there, the name would be "tyrant," even if the word seems a bit fancy for the increasingly unpopular Gov. Brown.
Because the hard fact remains that in 1994, millions of California's voters, by a margin of 59% to 41%, voted in favor of denying "free" welfare, education and other benefits to illegal immigrants on the clear logic that a burglar who breaks into someone else's home doesn't have the right to eat the owner's food.
It was a legitimate decision for a people to make, given that in any democratic system, the participants have the right to control the purse.
But Brown's statements and those of his political allies, including those in the press, suggest an imperial contempt for the will of California's voters. After all, there was no need to sign a bill, given that a single judge had effectively overturned the will of the voters and subsequent governors failed to appeal, letting it die.
Meanwhile, the desire on the left to besmirch the will of the voters as Jim Crow racism has continued.
As the law's sponsor, state Sen. Kevin de Leon, a Democrat from Los Angeles, told the L.A. Times, Brown's signing of state Senate Bill 396 "closes a dark chapter in our state's history and brings dignity and respect to the national immigration debate."

But the voters will still replace him with another weirdo who is even more spaced out than he is.
Until the cycle of democrats using welfare to buy the votes they need to enslave people is broken California and the US are a lost cause.
How can they get government services when they aren’t supposed to be here in the first place?
The only government service they qualify for is a ride to the airport.
We recalled Gray Davis over this.
Brown said nothing about this in any of his campaigns.
Start the recall now.
In the time between Proposition 187 being voted for and now... how many California taxpayers had enough and left? How many illegals that pay no tax and burden the state moved in?
Gavin Newsome will be the next governor, making me even more happy that I moved.
Absolutely, and now they’ve got a larger voter base with the 3 million illegals.
Oh wait, illegals aren’t supposed to vote.
Brown is on the ballot in a few weeks. Put your energy there.
Cali voters passed Prop 187 20 years ago. It would be defeated 2-1 in 2014. The voters for whom Moonbeam shows contempt are much different now.
yes. Mr. Sanctuary will take Brown’s place.
I think one of our few remaining options to to avoid patronizing companies that promote leftist causes, and buy products made in red states or from companies that don't promote leftist causes, to the best of our ability, even if it means buying foreign.
If we can agree that our nation's survival is at stake, then we can agree to avoid patronizing those who are destroying it.
There is a big difference between the 1994 California electorate and the 2014 California electorate. Twenty years of non stop illegal immigration will do that.
Democracy, of which various state referendum provisions reflect, is generally favorable to the democrat party.
When it doesn’t they find a Lefty judge, an increasingly easy thing to do.
At some point, which I believe we have passed, the concept of republican government itself is destroyed when a single judge or five of nine of them can impose whatever they wish without fear of retribution.
Amazing that Brown is what passes for “moderate” in Cali. Newsome and Kamala Harris will be in the top spots in the next go-round.
There is little doubt that many states have passed that point and the federal judiciary may have also.
Against Neel Nobody he’s a dead win.
We can work on later. Right now, the “Republicans” in this state got nothing. Donnelly could have used this, but Kashkari will merely agree...as if anyone cared what he thinks.

They voted him in ... enjoy.
I for one, left, in fact the last time I voted in California was the Grey Davis recall. Nevada is filled with my fellow California refugees.
