California's Proposition 187

Proposition 187, which would have barred most public services to illegal immigrants, was on the California ballot in 1994. It became a major element in Governor Pete Wilson's campaign for reelection. Although enacted by the electorate, the proposition was largely voided through subsequent litigation. The first clip shows the situation as the election was unfolding.
