In 1994 California voters passed an "initiative" to stop paying money to illegals. Federal judges killed it.

If you wanna see how corrupt liberal judges have set our nation on a short path to destruction, consider California:

Way back in 1994 California saw illegal immigration going exponential--and then as now, illegals were getting exactly the same "free" social-welfare services as U.S. citizens.  As the cost skyrocketed, voters approved an "initiative petition," Proposition 187, that prohibited illegal aliens from getting most state-funded social services.  

Backers went through a year-long process of gathering hundreds of thousands of signatures to put the measure to a vote, and the measure passed by 17 percentage points, indicating strong approval. 

Problem solved?  Not even close:  Liberal judges overturn the will of a majority of voters with the stroke of a pen, effortlessly nullifying all the time, effort and work to get Prop 187 on the ballot.

Illegal-alien "advocacy organizations" promptly sued. And as every American could have predicted, a federal judge issued an ORDER that illegals could continue taking every type of welfare available, just as before.  Later the successfully-passed proposition was overturned, on the absurd claim that it intruded on the federal government’s exclusive authority to regulate immigration. 

That reasoning was nonsense: Prop 187 didn't say a WORD about restricting illegal immigration, but merely directed that California taxpayers would give illegals money.  Totally bullshit reasoning by the judge.  But because California’s Democrat/liberal attorney-general refused to appeal that ruling, it still stands.

Today, considering all services (including costly education) illegal immigration costs California taxpayers $23 BILLION per year. 

Gee, wonder what great things $23 Billion per year would do for that state if they didn't have to pay illegals, eh?  Thank corrupt federal judges, and a corrupt Democrat A-G in California.
