For 30 years, California has been the epicenter of the churn of immigration — legal and not — in the nation. It was California where Pete Wilson, the Republican governor, championed in 1994 a voter initiative known as Proposition 187, which severely restricted services to immigrants here illegally. And it was California where just last year, Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, held a celebratory, dignitary-filled signing of legislation permitting unauthorized workers to obtain driver’s licenses. (There you go. One party discouraging criminal behavior, and making every effort to remove the magnets and reduce illegal immigration. And the other, mostly for purely crass political purposes, encouraging more and more and more illegal immigration. SaM)
