How California went from anti-immigration to ‘sanctuary state’
Santa Cruz Sentinel ^ | 03/25/18 | Farida Jhabvala Romero

Amparo Cid traces her work as an attorney helping recent immigrants and their families in the Central Valley fight injustices and potential deportation to her experience as a child in 1994.

That was when California voters passed Proposition 187, an initiative that denied undocumented immigrants access to publicly funded services. Back then, many California officials blamed the federal government for not doing more to keep people from crossing the border illegally.

Today, the roles are reversed.

Because we Californians were constantly lied to:

The 1986 Amnesty would include border enforcement We the people could vote as in Prop 187 State IDs such as driver's licenses would only go to legal residents Our land grant universities were only for legal residents State endowed scholarships are only for legal residents State professional licenses are only for legal residents Housing aid is only for legal residents Welfare is only for legal residents Hospitals are paid for and to serve legal residents Obamacare is only for legal residents Open borders improve the California economy

lies, lies and more lies.

Its people might generally still be. I wouldn't be surprised if, in a statewide referendum, things like sanctuary cities and driver's licenses for illegals would fail (see: Oregon Ballot Measure 88).

The California State Assembly is pants-on-head retarded though.

“...Because we Californians were constantly lied to:...”

Those Californians who profit from the Brown welfare state, and his lawless regime, coupled with a power and money mad RAT legislature, keep voting them back into office.

Many of us are tired of being lied to and having our wealth and rights taken away to feed this monster. What is next???

California, for all intents and purposes, is now a colony of Mexico.

California is what happens when citizen votes are invalidated by judicial royalty in favor of the will of a socialist monarchy.

Everything America rejected in its founding.

I believe you are correct, the majority of Californians most probably are and that includes the majority of legal Hispanic immigrants. And really can you picture the Black community seriously supporting something that so competes for gubmint goodies with them? Will they ever realize how the demonrats have first used them and now thrown them in the gutter in favor of their knew best friends?

Thank Ronald Reagan. The former DemoKKKrat got taken.

Add in RINO Jack Kemp and his toady, Paul Ryan.

Don’t forget that the Democrats are notorious about election fraud. In many places up to 100% or more of all eligible voters have “voted” in election. Dead people “vote” in Democrat voting areas. We fair minded people have been abused and spit upon for many years. Let your Democrat friends know about this, they could use a little twinge of guilt. It is about time.

I think there is more going on, Democrats have no guilt about cheating and there are many ways to do it.
