In what major ways will racial and ethnic diversification continue to have important political dimensions?

What will be an ideal response?

Varies. Respondents should address the implications of different populations situating or separating themselves geographically into concentrated neighborhoods, and what this might mean for the ways that resources are used and divided. Answers should address the possibility that different groups will participate in politics at different rates and in different ways, and that different kinds of populations may demand different kinds of goods, services, or values from government. They may also mention that racial hostility may also be a factor in decisions about who gets what, or who is entitled to what resources. Historically, the initiative process has been used to impose restrictions on public benefits for immigrants or undocumented persons; however, the state legislature (led by Democrats) has been more willing to make accommodations for them, as seen with the recent passage of the DREAM Act (a law that allows the undocumented children of immigrants to receive in-state tuition), a process for granting special drivers licenses to undocumented immigrants (AB 60), expanding Medical benefits to undocumented immigrant children, and declaring "sanctuary status" for the state, meaning that law enforcement officers are not authorized to help federal agents deport nonviolent undocumented immigrants.
