Sounds like a Bush. I remember prop 187, and I wondered what had happened to it. Of course it was overturned by a Federal Judge with a bullsh*t excuse.
The judge's argument was crap. Illegal immigration is not part of "Federal Immigration." The state making it more difficult on illegals seeking services would have no effect on Federal system immigration.
One infuriating aspect of the Prop 187 saga is that the decision of Judge Mariana Pfaelzer The Corrupt was never sent to the Court of Appeals. But it still can be, if any California Governor would do it.
And amazingly enough, we actually had a Republican Governor who could have done that, but didn’t. And that of course was the odious Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Willing Tool Of the GOP Establishment. Which is why he didn’t bother to appeal Prop 187, because the Bush GOP had zero interest in defending California from the tidal wave of illegal immigration.
