What happened in California afterwards? The GOP used to own that state. Now look at it. In Texas, we handled the issue differently. And we are still solidly GOP, even though we have a large Hispanic population. See the difference?
Do you want f&*&*ng Hillary Clinton as President, Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, and Harry Reid as majority leader? That's straight where this political Buchananite anti-immigration trainwreck is leading. President Bush understands this. But he was merely a former two-term Governor of Texas. What the heck does he know?
And naturally you assume that that was because of a law that the people themselves voted for. Of course! It's always been a bedrock principle of politics that you can't let people vote for something that's unpopular. :-S
No. I don't see that illegal immigration or Prop 187 has caused the GOP to "lose control" of California -- its legislature has been controlled by the D's for decades, and it's been a liberal mess for at least as long.
Some of you just won't stop. Here let me fix it for you so can stop beating that straw man:
anti-ILLEGAL immigration
There, now that we defined terms, argue away.
"What happened in California afterwards? The GOP used to own that state. "
Really? Is this why Boxer won in 1992 and Feinstein in 1994?
Face it. CA is a liberal state, not because of the hispanic vote, but the vote of white liberals.
