Proposition 187 poked the Hispanic community in this state with a sharp stick (mostly because the advertising campaign managed to look like it was written by Tom Metzger). They went out, registered to vote, and then they poked us back. Most Hispanic voters in 1994 supported it; but the new ones that showed up in 1996, 1998, and 2000 hadn't voted in 1994.

How many of those Hispanic voters are citizens of the U.S.?

Oh how terrible it is that the citizens of CA voted to not provide subsided education to the citizens of Mexico that are here ILLEGALLY. I wonder what Mexico's policy is on providing free education to illegal foreigners ...or any other country in this world for that matter? Do you have any sympathies at all for the taxpayers that are forced to pay the education bills for kids of parents that are breaking the laws of this country for just being here? If the Federal Government were fulfilling its constitutional responsibility of protecting our people from this INVASION and ENFORCING our immigration laws this would not be crisis.
