Diego, it's the Republican marketing machine. When things go awry they bash immigrants. Prop 187 and Pete Wilson were products of the 1990's recession.
When Iraq and the economy go south, they'll just deflect and blame the immigrants who can't vote. How convenient.
deadzone, social services are NOT available to illegals (that's just a myth) Emergency room medical is all that is available. If you get into an accident in Mexico, yes, they would take care of you in their hospital… and if you can't pay, they can't collect.
