The Sierra Club opposes Proposition 187 because it is wrong , because it is stupid ,
because it is counterproductive. Proposition 187 is wrong.
It is wrong to hire parents to work for us and then turn their children away from
school.
Proposition 187 is stupid. The last thing we need is more sick Californians, more
children without innoculation, more patients in crisis in our emergency rooms. The last
thing we need in our neighborhoods is more children out of school without adult
supervision running loose and without hope.
Proposition 187 is counterproductive; it won't reduce illegal immigration. People do
not come to California so that they can send their children to school in a foreign
language. They come to work.
They do not come to work for little green men from Mars. They come to work for
Californians.
Proposition 187 does nothing about the fact that thousands of California businesses and
hundreds of thousands of Californians hire workers in violation of our laws and provide
the jobs that encourage them to come.
