(Black tension vs. Latinos).Proposition 187 - against Hispanic illegals, it was a Racist & xenophobic legislation.Prop. 209 - A bias on affirmative action was passed, with 51% of the vote = thedragging of feminist action was good for immigrants.Prop 227- banned bilingual education (was remedy)= immunization needed. Passedwith 61 % of the vote = outlawed bilingual education. = English only Measure. SeeRuben Rumbant.1996 - A welfare law = anti Hispanic (excluded most Latino unauthorized migrantsfrom any benefits).
