State Caucus Leaders Propose to Erase Legacy of Prop. 187

Leaders of the state's Latino and Asian Pacific Islander Caucuses have announced a plan to formally erase Proposition 187 from California lawbooks. Twenty years ago, voters approved an initiative banning the use of public services by those without legal immigration status. The measure was blocked by the courts, but it remains law. Lawmakers also plan to try for a November ballot measure that would let California voters urge the federal government to enact immigration reform.
