The strangers who sojourn with you shall be to you as the natives among you, and you shall love them as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. ” Leviticus 19.33-34 We, the undersigned religious leaders, stand in strong opposition to Proposition 187, the self-described ‘Save Our State’ initative, that will appear on the November 1994 ballot, for it would "save us" from the very people we are commanded to welcome. We unite to reassert our commitment to today’s strangers in our land; immigrants and refugees. We proclaim our profound belief in the essential sacredness of all human life. Our spiritual traditions affirm that Photo Report & Personal Profiles of Ramona Alessandro Grads we are all one family. Propositon 187 is an affront to humanity. It makes ANYONE suspect and a potential target of discrimination. It targets children, who are especially vulnerable in our society. It targets immigrants by unftiirly blaming them for the state’s economic troubles. Immigrants make a positive contribution to the^ economy and well being of California and the nation. Blaming immigrants Budweiser. for the economic difficulties of California distracts from the deeper causes of our economic crisis, which include the loss of jobs, an eroding tax base and a failure to invest in education and infrastructure. We have an obligation to participate in selling statewide priorities and finding reasonable solutions. As members of the religious community we declare that Proposition 187 compromises fundamental moral principles. Proposition 187 would turn those who are called to teach, heal and protect into those required to suspect, interrogate and exclude. Our moral call is a practical call! Proposition 187 would; • deny education to children, creating a permanent underclass; • deny non-emergency health care to the sick, increasing long- term costs and human suffering; - j . (jgny immunization to children, endangering the public heallli;i.i!oi> t • undermine trust of police, reducing their ability to ensure public safety;' • deny prenatal care to women, endangering not only their health, but also their pregnancy; • cost millions of dollars to turn teachers, doctors and police into immigration agents; • cost California up to $15 billion in federal funds. (According to the Legislative Analyst, California taxpayers will also foot the approx­ imately $100 million bill for verification and reporting process without addressing root causes of the problem, including the ongoing economic crisis.) The higher cost of Proposition 187 is that it turns Californians against each other and undermines the trust in one another that we need to solve our state’s problems. It plays upon fears and apprehensions. It affirms racism and prejudice and deepens divisions. The intent to enact these values as social policy transforms ignorance into malevolence. It would institutionalize Budweiser... Autentica come tu. the evil of these attitudes, giving structure and permanence to fear of the stranger. It is what we call social sin.
