These limitations are designed to prevent the federal judiciary from indefinitely barring implementation of challenged laws by issuing endless injunctions. and facilitate the appeals process by motivating courts to speedily handle constitutional challenges.

The California initiative was overwhelmingly approved in 1994 with almost 60 percent of the vote and was designed to end all social services and other benefits to illegal aliens.

Opponents who lost at the ballot box went to federal court the next day and obtained an injunction prohibiting enforcement of 187. and to this day it has never been the law of the state of California.
