Immigrants already dropping benefits ahead of new Trump rule, California counties say

[riverdale-74]

Two Democratic-led California counties asked a federal court on Wednesday to immediately block the Trump administration's so-called "public charge" regulation, saying fearful immigrants in their diverse communities are foregoing essential health and social benefits as a direct result of the rule's scheduled implementation in October.

In a new filing in their legal challenge to the controversial proposal by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the populous counties of Santa Clara and San Francisco are hoping to convince the U.S. District Court of Northern California to issue an preliminary injunction by demonstrating that the regulation is already inflicting "irreparable harm" to their residents.

It seems to me that there is a human tendency to create problems when no real ones exist.

Proposition 187, killed by a Dem governor refusing to defend it in court (the same way Jerry Brown later killed Proposition 8). Trump may resurrect it, sort of, but it will almost certainly go before the USSC.

It's interesting that even Los Angeles County supported the measure then (according to the map on the Wikipedia page), although I really wonder if the same would happen today. It's as if that was a last desperate effort to stem the tide.

California was forever overwhelmed shortly thereafter, partially as a result of the burying of prop 187.

Then the rats and media lent insult to injury by turning the truth on its head and blaming the 'racist' proposition itself for the diminishing fortunes of the state GOP.
