Proposition 187 – was later found to be unconstitutional


No it wasn't. Anyhow California has high taxes, failing schools, violent cities, deteriorating infrastructure, high poverty rate and 1/3 of its population on Medi-Cal (Medicaid). Hey rest of the USA want some of that?

I learned that there are more people leaving California than are moving in. And there is a massive illegal immigration problem.

CBSlocal.com - Report: California's Actual Debt Set At 848B Could Pass 1.1T

A) This report is from 2013

B)CBS is not exactly the advertising wing of Conservatism

C) California's huge government and massive welfare rolls are not what the rest of America wants to emulate.

Wilson won re-election in 1994 and helped pass a ballot measure to ban public services to undocumented immigrants.

Dear Daniel Weintraub:

Please STFU. Wilson WON in part because of that position. It was a holes like you and others that made sure California was destroyed afterwards.

Voters never rebuffed Wilson, he was term limited out.

This state has gone from fearing immigrants to embracing them. And we are thriving, at least in part because of that change of heart.

California is thriving? What planet is he living on.

Motor-voter is what killed California. It was enacted around 1997 (not exactly sure of the year), and California has been hard core Left ever since. It originally allowed anyone applying for a Driver’s License to tick a box that said ‘I am eligible to vote in the USA’. No proof required. And Democrats have pandered to illegals ever since, telling them they can vote, even though it is ostensibly illegal for an illegal to vote. Now, everyone applying and receiving a California Driver’s License is automatically being registered to vote. Is there anyone who will stand for the LAWS anymore??? And back in the mid-1990’s, I offered my DL when I went to vote and was told ‘oh, we don’t check ID’s’. I said ‘you’re kidding, right?’ and that was met with a vacant look.

America HAS learned from California. That’s why she’s listening to Trump.

Please be mindful of bashing all Californians and remember that this is the home of Free Republic and Ronald Reagan. There’s hope for us!

California has all but destroyed WA state. Once Boeing leaves, that should do it.

Um, no there isn’t. Some corners of the Titanic still have air in them. It is compressed to 6,000psi
