Friday • November 11, 1994 THE BATTALION Wlllilil The Battalion • Pages Frontit New citizens reflect on Proposition 187" KATIE ARNC at to some rd catalog LOS ANGELES (AP) — They couldn’t vote the day Proposi tion 187 passed. Two days later, they became American citizens. For 7,000 immigrants who were sworn in as U.S. citizens during a ceremony Thursday, joy was tempered by sadness over the passage of a California measure that would deny schooling, welfare and most health care to illegal aliens. “I’m feeling bad because it’s not right,” said 28-year-old Car los Urrutia, who fled civil war in El Salvador six years ago and took his place in the crowd to re cite the citizenship oath before a federal judge. Urrutia said he had entered the United States legally but worries about a pregnant rela tive who doesn’t have permis sion. And he worries about ille gals he has never met. “It’s harder living in this coun try without papers,” Urrutia said. Ernesto Bautista said he can do more than just complain now that he is a citizen: “At least now I can vote.” Francisco Ortiz, 42, another in the group at the Los Angeles Convention Center, was born in Mexico and sees hope in this country despite overwhelming support for Proposition 187. “That’s why I became a citi zen,” Ortiz said. “There are laws we don’t agree with, but we’re still Americans.” He, too, said he had entered the country legally. As they spoke, the fate of Proposition 187 was in the hands of the courts, the result of legal challenges filed by immi gration activists and schools. A federal judge on Wednes day barred enforcement of the measure for a week until a hear ing. And a state judge blocked enforcement of the sections ex pelling illegal immigrants from public schools. The fallout continued Thurs day: — Los Angeles County Sher iff Sherman Block reported that Immigration and Naturalization Service officials have said they don’t have the money to enforce the measure and don’t plan to change any procedures. In Los Angeles, where the new Americans waved flags and hugged family members, there was a lot of talk about Proposition 187. “If they ask for my papers t cause of the color of my skin, I just show them,” said Jorge Calderon, 44, from Mexico. “But no vaccinations for children, taking the kids from school- that’s what really bothered me.” Santiago Rodriguez, a truck driver who illegally entered the United States from Mexico 24 years ago, said he could “care less” about the measure. He said it is easy for illegal immi grants to work around the sys tem, and Proposition .187 would not change that. California’s new amendment sparks concern R LOS ANGELES (AP) — Elizabeth Parker is so worried about an anti-white backlash against Proposition 187 that she plans to walk her 13- year-old son to his school bus stop each day. Alma Barajas says a lot of parents in her His panic barrio are keeping their their children home from school, afraid they might be turned in to immigration officials. Fears of racial tensions and witch hunts were widespread the day after California voted to deny public education and nonemergency health care to illegal immigrants, even though the courts quickly put the measure on hold. It would require doctors, teachers and welfare workers to turn in suspected illegals. “Everyone has been given the authority to be a Gestapo,” said Marina Vera, who has taught many illegal students during 10 years teaching in San Diego. “Everyone is going to be turning everyone else in.” The measure passed 59 percent to 41 per cent. It was immediately challenged in court by immigration activists and a coalition of school districts, who claimed it violates basic human rights. A federal judge barred enforcement of the law for one week until he could hold a hearing, and a state judge barred expulsions from public schools until a hearing he sched uled for Feb. 8, 1995. Demonstrations led to arrests in some cities. In San Francisco, 18 people were arrested after about 100 youths marched up Market Street.
