Idiots, they can "paint" that pig any color they want to and it still won't sell. Youth and vitality to the workforce? What work? There are no jobs, no manufacturing, I would like to know how the fastest growing jobs, sales clerk or security guard is going to attain the status of middle class, by giving them free middle class homes, auto's, and monthly welfare checks I suppose. Given that illegal mexican children do not stay in school or graduate even now that they have the opportunity, just how many sales clerks and security guards are needed anyway?
If there were still any Americans in Cali, they should take the State Supreme court out and hang them for their treasonus supplanting of their vote to protect themselves from the mess that is there now.
I guess making up the facts to support your conclusion makes arguing easier.
M.A.P., I'm an American in Cali and agree our state Supremes are pretty bad. But they're not responsible for the flouting of the voters' will as expressed in Proposition 187 -- a claim I often seen expressed here. For your own safety and survival please note that these very bad decisions were made by a FEDERAL JUDGE, as noted below. California can't win this battle when the federal government, which is charged with protecting our borders from illegal invasion, won't help us.
Since it was passed, Proposition 187's constitutionality has been challenged in five different actions that were consolidated as a class action suit in the United States District Court, C.D. California. Consequently, a temporary restraining order enjoining sections 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 was entered by the Court on November 16, 1994, and a preliminary injunction was granted for the plaintiffs on December 14, 1994.
On May 1 1995, the League of United Latin American Citizens ("LULAC") and another of the original plaintiffs sought summary judgment, stating that Proposition 187 is unconstitutional because it is preempted by the Federal government's exclusive constitutional authority over the regulation of immigration, Congress' exercise of that power through the Immigration and Nationality Act, and other federal statutes.
On November 20, 1995, U.S. District Judge Pfaelezer ruled that the Court granted in part and denied in part the plaintiffs' motions for summary judgement. Since this ruling did not dispose of the case in its entirety, the preliminary injunction remains in effect until further order of the Court.
I believe our current Gov. Gray Davis dealt Prop. 187 a death blow by removing California as a litigant from the action. Case closed.
