Calipornia's problem at the state level is that they do not allow hospitals, welfare agencies, etc., to ask questions about citizenship.

Compare this to Florida where NO ILLEGAL can get ANY services, other than through non-profits (largely run by the Catholic Church in many cases). It all depends on what state you live in.

Even if the Fed won't get off its a-s on the immigration issue, at least Calipornians could force their legislature to reform their welfare laws. Prop. 187 was a good start, but it was poorly written.

CA welfare agencies do ask for applicants for welfare to provide citizenship.

Prop. 187 was a good start, but it was poorly written. You're entitled to your opinion, but the same forces that did away with 187 are the same people advising the president on his policies.
