Restoring Constitutional, limited government, expedited naturalization for legal residents, demolition of the welfare state, market forces (along with basic security measures) will ensure a peaceful, lawful, and moral immigration policy
The year: 1994. Republican Governor Pete Wilson signed off on Prop 187, which a majority of California voters supported. The initiative would prevent illegal immigrants from using public services in the state. Soon after passage, a California Justice threw out the initiative. Voters should have recalled the judge. While the state did need comprehensive immigration reform, one lawyer in a black dress should not have overthrown a voter-approved attempt to curb illegal immigration. Yes, Prop 187 was a stern, anti-illegal immigration policy, but not anti-immigrant, as liberal activists unfairly contend. Illegal immigration requires more attention than merely "kicking the can down the road", or "kicking people over the border", but amnesty needs to be joined with reduction of the welfare state and citizenship as a requirement for enrolling in public schools.
