“So... does California want illegal aliens or dont they?”
Politicians and businessmen who employ them in preference to Americans want them.
Plain old Californians like me want them sent packing.
SoCal used to be American suburbia. It transformed into a graffiti-scarred gang-ridden crowded colony of Mexico in a very short amount of time, and it couldn’t have occurred without the help of Democrats and the Dubya/ Karl Rove wing of the GOP.
I remember when two other members of that scumbag wing, Bill Bennett and Jack Kemp, lobbied for the defeat of Prop 187, which nevertheless passed convincingly and was then simply discarded with a shrug by the rats and then by Arnold. That proposition was passed in 1994 and was actually (and accurately) named the "Save Our State" initiative. Oh well... Party over oops, out of time.
Buh-bye, California.
