Should prop 187 be put back on the ballot in California since it was railroaded by a Gov that was recalled?

Absolutely. \n\nHow about this!\n\nAn Initiative By the Citizens of the State of ------\n\nWhereas the security of the citizens of the State of ------ is the responsibility of the law enforcement agencies of the State;\n\nWhereas the law enforcement agencies of the State are not enabled to enforce certain laws of the United States;\n\nWhereas the citizens of the State of ------ will benefit if State and local law enforcement agencies are authorized to enforce certain laws of the United States;\n\nIt is in the best interests of the citizens of the State of ------ to authorize the law enforcement agencies of the State of ------ to enforce certain laws of the United States.\n\nThe local and State law enforcement agencies of the State of ------ are hereby authorized to enforce criminal laws of the United States, except in such areas that the United States has expressly reserved enforcement of such laws to the United States and its agencies.\n\nThe prosecutors of the local and State entities are authorized to prosecute persons accused of violation of the laws of the United States, which have been apprehended by State or local law enforcement agencies.\n\nThe courts of the State of ------ are authorized to adjudicate cases brought by prosecutors of the local and State entities subject to the jurisdictional requirements of Section *.\n\n                    State and local agencies are authorized to seek reimbursement from the United States for enforcement efforts.\n\nThis initiative must be signed by a specific number of people, accourding to your specific codes, then.....with enough signatures must be put on a ballot for the people to vote on.\n\n\nLiberal judges are working outside of their realm of authority when they elect to rule on a point of law which is already on the books.  It is their job to enforce existing laws, not to create new law....against the will of the people.

take out the corruption by giving politicians the same penalties that ordinary citizens get. If a guy can get 25 to life for stealing a piece of pizza (this really happened with California's three strike law) then what would be fair in the Enron case?

Heres ALL The RACISM You Want Flower Child\n\nMexican American Legal Defense Fund founder Mario Obledo stated, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years.  People who don't like such demographic changes “should go back to Europe.” (Incidentally,  Senor  Obledo was also the California Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown.) \n\nMario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, "California is going to be a Hispanic state.

Señor Villaraigosa said "The only thing illegal is making 11 million illegal aliens felons." Yeah, he Actually said that. People should make no mistake about it: Villaraigosa was "ELECTED" by ILLEGALs VOTING, and HIS Allegiance, along with the rest of these "ELECTED" public officials in California of Mexican ancestry is to Mexico, not California or these United States of America. Villaraigosa has spent a lifetime opposing U.S. immigration laws.\nVillaraigosa is A Member Of  "MEChA"  and  " LA RAZA"\n*********************\nMEChA and the La Raza movement teach that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "AZTLAN" -- a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. As such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. These are all areas America should surrender to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United States will  be extinguished.\n\nThe Council of La Raza succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for "housing reform," while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. \n\nhttp://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=13863\n\n"We have an aging white America ...

It's being challenged on its housing restrictions. Most of the bill to length sentences for child molesters has already been signed into law. The authors have already backtracked and admitted that they made a mistake when they didn't write the initiative clearly enough not to apply retroactively. While that may fly in some states like New York, New Jersey, Iowa and Georgia, in California, it does not. We may not be a fully blue state but we're far from a red state. We take our constitutional rights seriously, and there are many pissed off people fighting this initiative in court. \n\nThe California Department of Corrections is also not real happy about the parolees not being able to live within 2000 feet of schools and parks. It is saying it might have to build housing at public expense to house them - something like $132 million to start. This in a state which already has a multi billion budget (the governor didn't solve the budget problem - he just borrowed the funds by floating bonds.)\n\nAlthough 70 oercent of voters cast yes votes on it, the courts frown on initiatives that are popular but unconstitutional. Another example was an initiative which banned all public services to illegal aliens in 1994. The public voted for it; the courts threw it out. \n\nI agree with the 2nd poster - it is time for the legislators to stop trying to legislate these kinds of laws. They only look like idiots, especially when they can't even write the initiatives right.\n\nAlso below is a link to a Los Angeles Times editorial against Proposition 83. \n\nhttp://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-ed-jessica12nov12,0,4249584.story?coll=la-opinion-leftrail

Senator Feinstein doesn't care what you or I think...  she has her own skewed agenda and I wish she was not where she is...  I always vote for someone else but she keeps getting re-elected.  I guess there are a lot of ignorant and extreme liberals in CA on her side...  go figure.    Of course she doesn't support secure borders... if we closed the border, then she would not have an expanding constituent base!

Almost the entire state of Nevada is a freakin military controlled zone.  Nuclear waste disposal from Yucca Mountain, weapons testing or training or some other crap.  LV is pretty much an extension of Southern CA, and should be annexed as such... Sorry if i don't have studies...but if you have access to lexis-nexis..you should use it....or Jstor, or Proquest  (available at your local junior college library)

not in California.  Different states have different laws.

I don't usually harp on errors but you have some typos that make your question confusing.\n\nFirst of all, I understand that perhaps 3/4 of California Senators have supported various illegal immigrant benefits, such as the driver's license benefit you mentioned, which the Governor has vetoed twice on National Security grounds.  (I think he wants a secure border so we aren't giving drivers licenses to terrorists.)\n\nI don't think that regardless of what the Senate says, the United States would let California succeed from the Union.  Look what happened to the Southern States when they tried it.  \n\nIf it did happen, the repercussions would be great, and the Minutemen would build a fence on the Nevada, etc. border. I would help them, as long as they let me run to their side with my family before it went up.\n\nIt won't happen, though.  Amongst other things, I think people are right when they say that if Mexican illegal immigrants wanted to be in Mexico, they would have stayed there.  They want to be in the United States so that they can benefit from the opportunities inherent in the United States' culture and economy.   Mexico does not offer those benefits, and adding a new 'state' wouldn't change the basic nature of the country.

Californiia does a lot, but most of the ones we have do with housekeeping issues!\n\nThe Founding Father's never meant for this country or state be run by referendum! That is why California is such a mess!\n\nThat is just politicians unwilling to make the hard decisions, especially unpopular ones, which were all defeated in the election! Some concerning abortion or oulawing gay marriage

Why all the debate?\nAre none of you aware that no less a person than the current governor of California was once pregnant?  I saw it myself at the local Multiplex...\nI saw a previous governor of California at the cinema years ago - who then went on to become president.  Then a few years later, it was his co-stars turn!

He submitted to governance before he got the truth. Military disregard does not work and he would have been squashed like a bug. I am sure that the Dem's bailed him out. Like that career dem he hired for hired inner circle. Wife Shriver Is a Kennedy and they have action in CA. This may be the first dual party Governor in history.

Arnie. Thinks (mostly) for himself and he's learning how to be effective despite the legions of apathetic liberal democrats in this state while veering away from the legions of absolutely insane ultra-conservative republicans in our national government.  I do like the Governator.  As does 70% of (voting) Californians.  The other 30% of voters are entitled to their opinion and the non-voters can LICK IT.
