"People dont want it."
You're kidding, right? For the past ten years, every time the people have had a chance to vote, they've said, overwhelmingly, that they don't want to pay for public services (including welfare) for illegal aliens. For the past ten years, an activist judiciary, and cynical 'Rat politicians, have been systematically undermining the will of the people.
Or maybe you missed the recall of the Governor in California? Driver's licenses for illegals figured prominently in that little project as well.
Yeah but Arnold isnt too keen on enforcing pro 187 either. If the people want it overwhelmingly, then why don't they make sure it is enforced all the way through? Maybe they vote for it, but don't really care about it that much because they derive some benefit out of it.
