Oh, I see, you think we should refuse to medicate, educate, and incarcerate illegals? We tried that here in California, and got shot down by a Federal judge.
It's called an "unfunded mandate" for a reason.
Didn't the State legal team really put out a limp-wristed effort in that case? IIRC, the whole idea that the AG and geovernor were in any way even trying to support Prop 187 was a joke from start to finish. Or am I confusing that with Prop 8, where the same thing happened?
I’m talking about keeping your fiscal affairs in order (i.e. balanced state budget) so that you’re not as vulnerable to Federal bribery and/or coercion. As for the federal courts forcing states to give state benefits to illegals, there are other ways to deal with that. Every illegal should be given a one-way ticket to Washington, D.C. and told to report to the INS.
