The Proposition 187, the grandiosely titled California's "Save Our State" ballot initiative that, if passed this November and validated by the courts over the next several years, will use strict verification requirements to prevent California's estimated 1.7 million undocumented immigrants from partaking of every form of public welfare including non-emergency medical car, prenatal clinics and public schools. The measure would require employees at public health facilities, welfare offices, police departments and schools to demand proof of legal residency and to report those who can't produce it to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, it also calls for stiff penalties for creating or using false documents.
