The Impact of Immigration on the California Economy

California continues to be a magnet for immigrants, but the immigrant population is also spreading to other states. In 1990 California had 33 percent of foreign-born U.S. residents and 45 percent of all unauthorized immigrants. Today those shares are 28 percent and 24 percent, respectively. That’s according to a new study from the California Regional Economies Project, which summarizes that status of immigration in the California experience.
