History

Historical Context

In November 1994, California voters passed Proposition 187, championed by Governor Pete Wilson, to bar public services from an estimated 1.3 million undocumented residents; 59% approved the measure. Federal courts blocked it in late 1994 and ruled it unconstitutional in 1998, ending the law by 1999 and prompting similar ballots in ten other states. Today Donald Trump’s MAGA-themed arcade, featuring Tom Homan’s Rio Run, mirrors that anti-immigrant messaging.
