How Immigration Policy Shapes California's Economic Future

The American Dream

California has long been a destination for immigrants from around the world, and immigration policy has played a significant role in shaping the state's politics and economy. With a large and diverse population of immigrants, California has often been at the forefront of national debates around issues like border security, deportation, and citizenship.

Immigrants have played a significant role in California's economy, with many starting small businesses and contributing to the state's workforce. According to a report by the California Immigrant Policy Center, immigrants make up nearly 35% of California's workforce and contribute over $700 billion to the state's economy each year.
