Though proponents of Prop. 187 deny it, it would certainly seem to be the case. I believe that California voted GOP in presidential contests from 1948 through 1988 except for 1964. After Planned Barrenhood Wilson's anti-Chicano efforts in Prop. 187, the GOP became toast and quite non-competitive in presidential votes. The bottom dropped out.

It stands to reason that groups and individuals prefer to be welcomed rather than bashed. As long as the pro-aborts run the California GOP, we will be behind the eight-ball on electoral votes there. California is going to be a very looooong war. Perhaps, with God's help, we will catch a break and the California Demonrats will offend the Chicanos as seriously as Planned Barrenhood Wilson did and that a sizable cadre of social conservatives will await with a practical recruitment plan.

the real reason CA switched from GOP to DEM after 1988, was the end of the cold war and the loss of hundred of thousands of jobs in aerospace and defense industries
