VISTA OPPOSING PROPOSITION 187 RELATING TO ILLEGAL
ALIENS INELIGIBILITY FOR PUBLIC SERVICES
WHEREAS, Proposition 187 won't reduce the number of illegal immigrants, but will
cause a host of new problems; and,
WHEREAS, Proposition 187 is ambiguously drafted such that it may violate important
federal laws that govern federal funding to our schools and health programs; and,
WHEREAS, the independent, non-partisan Legislative Analyst has determined these
violations could end up costing taxpayers 915 billion if Proposition 187 passed; and,
WHEREAS, Proposition 187 would turn our doctors, nurses and teachers into INS
agents and our hospitals and schools into immigration officers; and,
WHEREAS, denying basic medical attention and immunizations to people would
increase the spread of costly and preventable communicable diseases and threaten the health
of All Californians; and,
WHEREAS, an estimated 400,000 kids without proper documentation would be kicked
out of school and onto the streets.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby oppose Proposition 187 on the November 8, 1994 ballot.
