Don’t even need to look outside California... California voters approved Proposition 187 with 58% approval in1994. It was to, among other things, deny all non-emergency services to illegal aliens. A federal judge ruled it unconstitutional on the grounds that it was the exclusive domain of the Feds, and the next gov (Gray Davis) dropped the appeal. Such a measure would not have a chance today since ~20% of the CA electorate are citizen children of illegals. Of course CA will try to stop the wall, too much of the lifestyle Californians have come to enjoy depends on below-market illegal labor and stopping the flow would in the long-run turn CA into a swing state again.

That is a good point. We need to stop the practice of giving citizenship to anchor babies.

Depending on illegal alien labor only benefits the unethical rich. When illegals do jobs for under-the-table wages, they are not paying taxes on those wages (strike one), and Americans are put out of work (strike two). Ordinary Americans do not benefit from illegal alien labor at all. It is a major reason that the income gap in CA is becoming wider.

That’s another thing that needs fixing. Anchor babies. No more. Who is going to be AG?
