That was a liberal court decision back in the 1970s.

With high unemployment,mass foreclosures and few available good paying jobs.alot of Californians are almost there.

Even during the Great Depression there were alot of people still working,it's the ones that aren't working that will start to change (spending habits,outlook,politics) because they will be forced to.It will be business as usual for the rest. Whether the changes will effect the rest of the Sate depends on how long things worsen and/or stagnate.

Already in California due to bad spending habits,home equity losses,poor investments,lack of retirement savings,lazy adult kids,etc. alot of people in State of California can't/won't retire and will be struggling until they keel over. This in turn lessens openings and chances for advancement/promotions for younger workers so it will have long lasting effects.

Do you realize that Hispanic doesn't equate to illegal? The majority of those kids would be American citizens.

FAIR: Breaking the Piggy Bank: How Illegal Immigration is Sending Schools Into the Red (Updated 2005) (http://www.fairus.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=17193&security=1601&news _iv_ctrl=1901 - broken link)

The calculation of the number of children of illegal aliens in the K-12 public school system indicates that more than 15 percent of California’s students are children of illegal aliens, as are more than ten percent of the students in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, and Texas. More than five percent of the students are the children of illegal aliens in Florida, Georgia, Kansas, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, and Washington.

California is such a mess and with the idiots they just voted in office, I really do not think there is any hope for the state.
