WHEN CALIFORNIA REJECTED AMNESTY AND THE ILLEGAL INVASION: A LESSON AND A WARNING FOR AMERICA
(please 🔖, comment and share)
32 years ago in November 1994, California (62% White) was still a conservative Red state in statewide and national elections, and passed its last gasp attempt at remaining so: Prop 187 "Save Our State," a citizen ballot initiative that sought to deny public services & welfare to illegals.
The initiative passed HUGE, 59%-41%, with nearly 5.1 million Californians voting YES. It was so popular, it received more votes than any candidate in the nation in the 1994 elections.
White voters went 2-1 FOR it. Predictably, Latinos went 3-1 AGAINST it.
Let's take a moment to remember these American Heroes responsible for it, shall we?
⏺️ THE HEROES
▪️Pete Wilson
California governor from 1991 to 1999. A major political supporter of Proposition 187 during his 1994 reelection campaign. He won a massive 55-41 Republican victory over Democrat Kathleen Brown on the coattails of the initiative's passage.
Wilson proclaimed Prop 187's passage as "the two-by-four we need to make them take notice in Washington. (Voters) have sent a message to Washington that California is not simply a colony of the federal government to be taxed without limit to pay for the costs of the federal failure."
▪️Ron Prince
Initiative originator and Save Our State campaign co-chairman. An Orange County accountant who started the petition effort after being defrauded by an illegal. He wanted California to pressure Washington DC into enforcing immigration laws.
"Illegal aliens are killing us in California...The people of California, 600,000 of them statewide, have put this initiative on the ballot."
Prince argued that Mexico should be responsible for providing education, healthcare and other services to its own citizens rather than expecting California taxpayers to provide them, writing to the Mexican Ambassador he said: "Stop asking me to do for your citizens what you will not do for them."
▪️Richard "Dick" Mountjoy
Republican assemblyman, state senator, businessman, former mayor of Monrovia, principal legislative architect of Proposition 187, coauthor, and campaign co-chairman. He also chaired Pat Buchanan's California presidential campaign.
In 1993, just one year prior to the initiative, he'd introduced several unsuccessful bills in the state legislature that mirrored most of the provisions that would be in the 1994 initiative. This highlights the disconnect that already existed between the legislature and the people it was supposed to represent.
"They're here illegally, yet we reward them with free services and a guaranteed education. There's no good reason to give driver's licenses to people who are here illegally."
▪️Harold Ezell
Former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) Western Regional Commissioner and initiative coauthor. He started Americans for Border Control, the nation’s first citizens group founded to specifically fight illegal immigration. Members attended INS raids in barrios to cheer on immigration agents with signs that said "Don’t Let the USA Become a Third World Nation."
▪️Alan C. Nelson
Native Californian. FormerAlameda County deputy district attorney, Assistant director of California Department of Human Resources under Governor Ronald Reagan, and Director of California Department of Rehabilitation. Former commissioner of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) under President Reagan. He was the principal coauthor of Prop 187 and uniquely qualified to understand the internecine twists and turns of the problems.
Nelson deliberately helped design Proposition 187 to provoke a Supreme Court reconsideration of the 1982 Plyler v. Doe ruling, which prohibited states from excluding undocumented children from public schools using a 14-Amendment argument.
A black mark against him was that he helped administer and advocate the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), otherwise known as the Reagan Amnesty of 1986. Ultimately, he regarded Prop 187 as a way to address what he considered the unfinished enforcement objectives of the IRCA.
▪️Barbara Coe
Founder of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform and a major grassroots organizer and coauthor of the initiative.
"Every illegal alien halted is one less that will go on our welfare rolls, overcrowd our schools, bring in more drugs to poison our kids or rob, rape or murder another innocent American citizen."
When she passed away in 2013, the SPLC wrote one last hit-piece on her
▪️Barbara & Bob Kiley
Barbara was the Yorba Linda mayor & Bob managed her campaign. They'd both served in the Reagan administration, Barbara as a White House events planner and Bob on Reagan's advance team.
Bob managed the initiative's campaign machinery: political consulting, fundraising, mailing operations, volunteer networks and efforts to replicate the initiative elsewhere.
Barbara acted as a public political leader: recruiting organizers, serving as state co-chairwoman, speaking publicly and using her mayoral position to advocate the measure.
In 1996, Barbara argued that Proposition 187 had forced the country to debate unauthorized immigration during the presidential election, and helped lead to Congress's 1996 immigration-enforcement legislation.
⏺️ WHAT HAPPENED TO PROP 187?
It was hoped by many that the success of Prop 187 would spread to other states, force Washington to act, and ultimately lead to illegals going home. It was truly a grand vision backed by historic citizen leadership & activism. And indeed, groups in 18 states reached out to the Prop 187 team above in order to try and replicate the results.
But the hoped-for nationwide-sweeping brushfire never caught flame. Why?
A jewish Civil R̶i̶g̶h̶t̶s̶ Wrongs lawyer named Mark Rosenbaum, legal director at the ACLU of Southern California, filed a lawsuit. Later, a jewish federal judge named Mariana R. Pfaelzer ruled it unconstitutional. And while California officials spent years fighting it in court, the state finally turned blue and voted in Democrats who ended the legal battle. Prop 187 was dead. The will of the people denied.
Said Rosenbaum: "This is a terrific day for California."
Let's see how "terrific," shall we?
⏺️ LEGACY: THE CURRENT COST OF ILLEGALS IN CALIFORNIA
▪️Healthcare (Medi-Cal full-scope coverage): $12.4 billion per year
▪️K-12 education: $19 billion per year (based on 600k–750k students at ~$25k per year)
▪️Broader social services/welfare subsidies: At least $11 billion per year
▪️Justice/law enforcement/incarceration: Multi-billion range >$4 billion total justice costs; incarceration alone previously in the low billions
▪️State and local taxes paid by illegals in 2022: ~$8.5 Billion
▪️Overall Budget Deficit: $22-25 Billion
⏺️ MORE HORRIFIC STATS (via | @SaltyGoat17)
▪️More than 66% of ALL BIRTHS in California are to illegals on Medi-Cal
▪️43% of all FOOD STAMPS are given to illegals
▪️95% of WARRANTS issued for murder in Los Angeles are for illegals
▪️Less than 2% of Illegals are picking crops but, 41% are on WELFARE
▪️39% of all California STUDENTS are illegals
▪️60% of all HUD-occupied properties in the US are illegals
▪️75% of the Los Angeles "Most Wanted" CRIMINALS are illegals
▪️50% of all GANG MEMBERS are illegals
⏺️ LEGACY: DEMOGRAPHICS AND WHITE REPLACEMENT
▪️California is now around 34% and still dropping, with no end in sight.
▪️It's one of the most solidly Blue states in the nation.
▪️White Christian conservatives (Heritage Americans) have virtually no representation in a state of 40 million people.
▪️Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom is moving to grant clemency to 548 death row inmates. (How many are illegals?)
⏺️ THE FINAL ANALYSIS
The fate of California will eventually be the fate of every state in the country—and therefore entire nation itself—unless a major change is made.
It's unsustainable. It's tragic. It's criminal. It's monstrous. It's ethnic cleansing of a people whose birthright this country is.
HEAR ME NOW: NO AMNESTY. NOT NOW. NOT EVER!

HELL NO! 🤬
🌾 CONGRESS IS SLIPPING AMNESTY INTO A FARM LABOR BILL
Don't take my word for it. Read the official summary from the Congressional Research Service.
H.R. 9535, the "Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act." Sponsored by House Agriculture Chairman Glenn Thompson. 61 cosponsors, 52 of them Republicans.
One line tells you everything. The bill "establishes an H-2A visa pathway for current unauthorized agricultural workers who otherwise meet requirements."
Current unauthorized workers. People who are here illegally right now.
The sponsor's pitch: "With the border now secure, it is time to address these shortcomings."
The border is more secure because we finally started enforcing the law. You don't reward that by handing a visa to the people who broke it.
And the timing couldn't be worse. Monday night the President said, "We haven't put the same pressure on waitresses and on farmworkers, etc. Not even close." That's exactly the opening this bill's supporters have been waiting for.
We've seen this movie before. In 1986 Congress created the Special Agricultural Worker program, and it was riddled with fraud, with applicants claiming farm work they never did. My career taught me that every carve-out turns into a business model. Make farm work the safe lane and the fake employment letters will show up by the truckload.
Farmers have a real labor problem and I'm not dismissing it. Fix H-2A. Speed it up. Cut the red tape. Let it run year-round. That's legal labor and I'll support it.
But a visa for people who are here illegally isn't a workforce plan. It's amnesty in overalls.
Call your representative and ask one question: are you one of the 61?

Are they finally going to actually work? 🤔
Playing it safe got us nowhere. Time to go big in the last 60 days.
@freedomcaucus has the plan: codify Trump’s border policies, no amnesty, no poison-pill omnibus, strip Democrats of leverage, and pass the SAVE America Act.
Bring in the cots—we have a country to save.
