Inadvertently, Prop - which was largely backed by Republicans - activated a tidal wave of new Democratic voters and leaders, including new Latino elected leaders, as it pushed Latinos away from the GOP.

During that time, the growth rate of Latino registered voters in the state far outpaced the growth rate of its Latino population. In September , then-Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill repealing the unenforceable provisions of Prop , essentially striking the initiative's language from the books.
Years later, however, the debate over immigrants and public benefits continues on the national stage, as the Trump administration has proposed disqualifying immigrants from obtaining green cards under what's become known as the "public charge" rule if they use public benefits such as health, food and housing assistance, or may use them in the future.
The rule has been blocked in court for now. Nevertheless, for many who marched in favor of immigrant rights 25 years ago, the messages of hope and unity still resonate to this day. Wilson says that neither the state nor the country owe an education to children in the country without legal immigration status.

Latino History and Culture by David J. Leonard; Carmen R. Lugo-Lugo Call Number: E S75 L Latinos are the fastest growing population in America today. This two-volume encyclopedia traces the history of Latinos in the United States from colonial times to the present, focusing on their impact on the nation in its historical development and current culture.

S75 G Fully revised and updated, the second edition of this popular text provides students with a comprehensive introduction to Latino participation in US politics. Focusing on six Latino groups -Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, Salvadorans, and Guatemalans - the book explores the migration history of each group and shows how that experience has been affected by US foreign policy and economic interests in each country of origin.
The political status of Latinos on arrival in the United States, including their civil rights, employment opportunities, and political incorporation, is then examined. Finally, the analysis follows each groups history of collective mobilization and political activity, drawing out the varied ways they have engaged in the US political system.
Using the tension between individual agency and structural constraints as its central organizing theme, the discussion situates Latino migrants, and their children, within larger macroeconomic and geo-political structures that influence their decisions to migrate and their ability to adapt socially, economically, and politically to their new country.
It also demonstrates how Latinos continually have shown that through political action they can significantly improve their channels of opportunity. Thus, the book encourages students to think critically about what it means to be a racialized minority group within a majoritarian US political system, and how that position structures Latinos ability to achieve their social, economic, and political goals.
J33 In , California voters flocked to the polls in record numbers because of a ballot measure-Proposition that was designed to deny social services to undocumented immigrants. A majority of voters favored the proposition, and accusations of racism flew in all directions. District Court ultimately overturned it, but to this day Proposition represents a watershed moment in the immigration debate. Examining the dynamics of that political battle, The New Nativism questions racism as the motivating factor for political action both at the time and in the high-stakes, hotly contested immigration debates of today.
Robin Jacobson's work, based on in-depth interviews with supporters of Proposition , unpacks the role race played in their support of the measure. Jacobson finds that rather than being motivated primarily by racism, proponents connected racial identity, ideas of fairness, and traditional American values in surprising, often contradictory, ways.
