California

Abstract: This 10 page report discusses the California initiative approved by voters in 1994 that prohibited illegal immigrant children from public schools, to prohibit public health and welfare services for illegal immigrants, and impose other sanctions (including prenatal care for pregnant women and immunizations for children) throughout the state. In November of 1995, a Los Angeles federal judge issued an oral injunction that struck down as unconstitutional key portions of Proposition 187. Among the sections disallowed was the one that would bar illegal-alien children from attending elementary and secondary public schools. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
