	California Proposition 187 (1994) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		California Proposition 187 was a 1994 ballot initiative designed to deny illegal immigrants social services, health care, and public education.
		All law enforcement agents who suspect that a person who has been arrested is in violation of immigration laws must investigate the detainee's immigration status, and if they find evidence of illegality they must report it to the attorney general of California, and to the federal Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).
		187 as "the last gasp of white America in California." The proposition came before voters on the November 8, 1994 general election, where it received 59% of the vote.

	FYI and Capitol Currents, Immigration Review #32
		Members of the Sierra Club, one of the nation's leading environmental organizations, voted in April to maintain neutrality on U.S. immigration policy, narrowly defeating an effort to develop a policy calling for reduced immigration as a means of slowing U.S. population growth to preserve the environment.
		Proponents of reduced immigration levels said the vote was a victory for political correctness rather than a defeat for the immigration reform movement.
		A controversial billboard near the California-Arizona border that declared California "The Illegal Immigration State" was taken down in late June after Latino activists threatened to destroy the sign.

	International Relations Center \| Commentary \| Immigration Restrictionism Gains Political Clout
		California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, playing to anti-immigrant sectors led by such blatantly racist groups as the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, last month vetoed a measure authorizing the issuance of drivers’ licenses to undocumented residents.
		But on Capitol Hill immigration restrictionists have, until recently, failed to gain much traction for their proposals to reduce visas for refugees, deny U.S. citizenship to the U.S.-born children of “illegal aliens,” prohibit the granting of amnesty to anyone who entered the U.S. illegally, and accelerate deportation procedures by limiting appeals and hearings.
		However, the immigration restrictionists, led by Tom Tancredo (R-Col.), succeeded in attaching many of their anti-immigration proposals to the intelligence reform bill passed by the House on October 8th.

	SPLCenter.org: Anti-Immigration Groups
		Claiming an unlikely 26,000 members, the California Coalition for Immigration Reform (CCIR) is headed by Barbara Coe, a woman who has referred repeatedly to Mexican immigrants as "savages." Coe founded CCIR in 1994 as a co-sponsor of California's Proposition 187, which would have denied social and medical benefits to illegal immigrants and their children.
		California NOFEAR president Stan Hess, who was arrested for violating an open-burning ordinance in 1998 by burning a Mexican flag at a rally in Alabama, has been a member of the racist Council of Conservative Citizens and was a key player in forming the neofascist American Friends of the British National Party.
		John H. Tanton, publisher of The Social Contract Press and founder of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, was instrumental in a 1996 effort to add an anti-immigration plank to the Sierra Club platform, a move that nearly split the environmental group permanently.

	Issues & Views:California's immigration woes
		The second finding that nobody in California wants to talk about, due to political correctness, is the underlying cause of our problem, which is totally uncontrolled immigration and the high fertility rates associated with major immigrant groups.
		Stop immigration and we'll be on the way to saving our quality of life--do nothing and we will soon reach the limits of livability.
		The crisis in which California finds itself today is just the beginning of a population nightmare that will continue to worsen unless immigration is slowed considerably or brought to a halt.

	Deport Aliens -- It's time to deport illegal aliens and criminal alien residents!
		The Executive Office for Immigration Review -- a federal agency made up of the U.S. Immigration Court system and its appellate body, the Board of Immigration Appeals -- is the centerpiece of a largely unknown permanent amnesty for illegal aliens and criminal alien residents within the U.S. Department of Justice.
		With the complicity of the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, the EOIR litigation bureaucracy forms the hidden piece of the puzzle of institutionalized mass immigration in the federal government.
		After reviewing Immigration Court decisions at the Board of Immigration Appeals (its appellate body) the EOIR system also offers federal circuit appellate court review for the deportation of every illegal alien and every criminal alien resident in the United States.
