Overview

Immigration has a significant impact on California’s economy, both in terms of the labor force and goods movement. The current system allows for a substantial level of illegal immigration, while the legal immigration levels are set far too low to meet the demand for labor in the U.S. economy. This flawed policy has significant implications for California’s economy.

Goal

Reform U.S. immigration policy to ensure the state's continued prosperity.

Position

There should be one national program implementing immigration policy that pre-empts all state and local programs, and reform legislation should be comprehensive and adequately funded.
