By the way, how does a president shoot down a state ballot initiative? I can't think of a single case where that's happened. He doesn't have any authority to do so

By the Judges he appoints. It was the 9th circuit filled with Carter appointees that shot down Prop. 187.

Sorry Dane. That's weak. That'd be like saying Reagan is in favor of the SCOTUS using int'l law as its guide because 2 out of 3 of his appointees think so. The judiciary is a crap shoot. Further, I sincerely doubt a judge was appointed for the sole purpose of trying to overthrow a single ballot initiative. That makes zero sense. And given GW's broad pronouncements in FAVOR of mexican illegals, your argument loses whatever tiny morsel of plausibility it may have had. For example:

"This new system will be more compassionate. Decent, hardworking people will now be protected by labor laws, with the right to change jobs, earn fair wages and enjoy the same working conditions that the law requires for American workers," he said.
