Daily Kos: Without an ounce of originality, tired old anti-immigrant groups are once again joining forces to exploit California’s bad economy and scapegoat the Golden State’s immigrant population.

According to the L.A. Times, the organizers of the amendment are seeking to curb what they call "invasion by birth canal" and are using the bad California economy as their latest opportunity to bash immigrants.
