	California Proposition 187 (1994) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		California Proposition 187 was a proposition introduced in California in 1994 to deny illegal immigrants social services, health care, and public education.
		The proposition came before voters on the November 8, 1994 general election, where it received 59% of the vote.
		In a bizarre coincidence, 187 is also the section of the California Penal Code that deals with murder, and for a while it was often used in gangsta rap lyrics with that meaning.
