FLORIDA FACES PROP 187 PUSH

At least two grassroots groups in Florida are calling for amendments in the state's constitution that would bar illegal immigrants from receivingtaxpayer-paid social services, part of a larger movement to takeCalifornia's Proposition 187beyond thatstate's borders. Similar fights are underway in Texas, Arizona and Colorado. In Orlando, a group called Save Our State today said its effort is part of a campaign to push the issue onto the national agenda by 1996. ButTIME Miami bureau chief Cathy Boothsays Florida will be a hard political sell, in part becauseGov. Lawton Chiles, a Prop 187 opponent, "feels strongly that you shouldn't turn people away from hospitals or children from classrooms."
