Kalifornia's Voodoo Economics: State Parks Out, Illegal Aliens In!

By John W. Lillpop


Governor Schwarzenegger and Sacramento Democrats have repeatedly refused to acknowledge, much less confront, the $10.8 billion gorilla in California's state budget.

That is the annual cost of proving public services (from education to health care) to illegal aliens who have no business being here.

Schwarzenegger dismisses those who breach the subject as anti-immigrant ignoramuses, and claims that illegal aliens are not the problem.

Apparently, state parks maintained for citizens and those here legally are the problem, which is why Schwarzenegger is set to shut down 90 percent of those treasures just in time for the summer vacation season.

Other liberals have decided that proposition 13, the so- called taxpayer revolt passed in 1978, is the source of all evil and budget shortfalls.

The governor and his co-conspirators in Sacramento are missing a major point: We the People are fed with up the invasion of our once bountiful state by illegal aliens and by programs that reward invaders with free health care, welfare, food stamps, and education.

In 1994, by a margin of 2-1, Californians passed Proposition 187 which, had it not been sabotaged by a judge and liberal politicians, would have solved the illegal alien problem by cutting off services to illegals 15 years ago.

Had 187 been enforced as the people voted, California's annual deficits would have been dramatically reduced, perhaps even eliminated.

Until the governor addresses the $10.8 billion illegal alien issue head on, he and the Democrats will never be taken seriously when it comes to the budget.

Perhaps it is time for another go at Prop. 187? The truth is that the measure would pass, probably by more than 2-1, if presented to the voters in 2009.

Well the Mexican organized crime groups will have an easier time planting marijuana in our public parks now.


Enforcement of 187 which is still on the books is now a packaged solution to Californias problems and any candidate for elective office can run on it instead of trying to elaborate a new set of cost cutting measures and have to educate about them. The 187 Act is actually still on the books and just is not being enforced.

Wow, great info Richard!!

I know that I was under the impression that it had been negated after being declared unConstitutional and was therefore non existent never mind being something which could be enforced.

And, from everything I've read and heard, that is the same impression that the majority of people are under.....including many residents of CA.

Unfortunately in 1997, Judge Mariana Pfaelzer ruled the law unconstitiutional. Governor Pete Wilson had state attornies working on an appeal. Candidate Gray Davis promised to honor the will of the will, but once in power (1999) he dropped the appeal.

Davis justified his discarding of the will of the people by calling the measure divisive--as if millions of illegal aliens on public doles is not?

It has never been codifed into law because of the injunctions filed by the left and the Davis bail out.

Just read where Schwarzenegger may run for the U.S. senate in 2010 as his term as gov will be running out. Sure hope the people of CA elect a governor that doesn't kiss the backsides of the IA's. Maybe then, the billions spent on them will stop.

It is actually on the books and has not been nullified for that to happen they would have to pass another Act. The current situation it is not being enforced due to the lower court ruling that it is unconstitutional and Gray Davis not following through on it's being given a secondary review before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal or the US Supreme Court Mountjoy has written about it since the manouver by Gray Davis.

Californians biggest problem is Schwarzenegger. Getting rid of him will put the whole state back on the right track. At least by closing down parks the illegals won't have any place to BBQ, get drunk and play soccer on the weekends.
