For now, organizers of Latino and Asian immigrant rights groups say that not since 1994 when a California proposal to deny illegal immigrants social services was on the ballot has there been such an urgency among their communities to register to vote.

California a Democracy?

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship." (? on who actually penned the quote)

‘‘It will probably usher in a decade of increased Latino political victories." Regalado said. "But, that's if things play out as organizers hope they play out.''

Falsifying documents and voter fraud? I hope the INS is ready for this one. The communist left is planning on massive voter fraud this time, because Americans won't vote democrat anymore.
The government had better not let us down. Mexico does not dictate to the American population.

While the rest of the country is grappling with a chasm between the Latino population and the dearth of elected Latino officials, California has gained an entrenched Latino political class.

Why not put the states in charge of their own welfare benefits? Let the voters of the state use their taxes to support their own state citizens. That way, the red states will be able to support themselves rather than democrats and illegals in California etc.. All the states would be happier and freer that way. Everyone will have the life they want to have.
This way, if people want illegal labor, they alone can support them. If a state doesn't want illegal labor, the laborers can go to the more liberal states for their support.

"Many Latinos and Asians - outraged by Republican support of what was viewed by many as an anti-immigrant proposal - turned away from the Republican Party. From 1994 to 2000, Republicans lost 10 state Assembly seats, shrinking to 31."

This bullcr*p has been repeated so often that even (maybe I should say especially) the Republicans believe it. What happened is that the Democrats under Clinton put on a full court press to register illegals in CA to ensure he would be re-elected in 1996. The Republicans didn't even put up a whimper resulting in the current situation.

They're doing the same around the country now. Colorado and Arizona will be the next to flip to pure Blue unless something totally unexpected happens, like the Republicans getting some back bone.
