| I'm fully behind your initiative to make Prop 187 a national reality. It's CRUCIAL. It's going to take a Supreme Court case. If you can't deny schooling to the interlopers' children, you can't do anything with their parents. That's the Plyler vs. Doe case. It has to be overturned. That was the basis of Pfaelzer ayatollah decision in California shitcanning 187. We have to attack that.
You want to attack that? OK, but schooling was Bush's big issue against #187. "I was against the spirit of . . . [Proposition 187] for my state," Bush said of the 1994 California measure. "I felt like every child ought to be educated, regardless of the status of their parents."
Dallas Morning News, 6/30/99, p. 23A
Bush misrepresents the "spirit" of 187 here, since children weren't going to be kept out of taxpayer-funded schools for the status of their parents, but for their own. That is, children who themselves were Illegal would not be entitled to public education in California. #187 said nothing about them getting private education, should any compassionate folks have wanted to foot the bills on their own dimes. Anyway, if you attack public education for children who are Illegal Aliens, the President will fight you. I'm game. You? From a strategic view ... would any liberal court overturn Plyler vs. Doe? I don't think so! Would a court with Al Gore's or John Kerry's appointments overturn that ridiculous post Carter era 5-4 decision? No. So why sabotage Bush if you want your objectives met? I just don't get it.
Suggest you read my posts. My vote remains Bush's to lose. I'm not sabotaging him; I'm fighting his Amnesty, and his soft stance against Illegals. His Amnesty threatens to sabotage him, as well as the sufficiency of the GOP majority.
