"I've actually read a great deal on Prop 187. I maintained from the start it was unconstitutional, and, as usual, I was shown to be correct."
No, you've only be shown to be in agreement with Leftist Carter-appointed Judges. To say 187 is unconstitutional is to spit on the 9th and 10th amendments.
" Any discriminiation by a state based on national origin is illegal."
That mis-characterizes 187. It does nothing of the kind. Whoever replaces Davis should institute 187 as it was duly passed and defend it in court.

LOL you need to actually read things before you cite them. The wording of the 10th amendment goes something like this:
'The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.'
The power over immigration IS reserved to the United States in article I section 8 where congress is given the power to 'To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization.'
Ask RJheartburn what happens when you screw with me and try to play 'founding father'. Better luck next time.

For your information, 'discrimination' when used in this context is a legal term of art. It means any distinction. It doesn't have to mean discrimination in the sense you're used to it, at your meetings or wherever. Thanks for trying though.
