Californians for Population Stabilization
After decades of mass immigration, California is no longer able to absorb a constant flow of immigrants and still maintain a decent quality of life for its residents. Currently, one in ten Americans is foreign-born, with about a third of the foreign-born population arriving in the past 10 years.
Since California receives about 25 percent of the nation’s flood of immigration, our state’s numbers look a little different, with an astounding one in four Californians being foreign-born. In addition, nearly all of our state’s growth is now due to immigration and higher-than-average fertility rates among new immigrants.
If current legal and illegal immigration trends continue, an estimated 60 million people will call California home by 2050.
