Excerpts from Spencer's
Letter to the Arizona Republic
Major elements of
Proposition 187 were found unconstitutional by one
federal judge.
The "court settlement" to which you refer was a sham
mediation that included only opponents of the measure. Instead
of allowing the will of the people to be tested by the U.S. Supreme
Court, the President of Mexico, Ernesto Zedillo, and the Governor
of California, Gray Davis, used this mediation to terminate the
appeals process. Records show they killed Proposition 187 because
they feared it would be found constitutional.
...Those, including the Arizona Republic,
who distort the history of Proposition 187 do a disservice to
the democratic process. Those who continue to thwart the will
of the people when their nation, their culture and their standard
of living are being attacked, are skating on very thin ice. [Send
