It must run off java or something. The only URL that shows is http://www.cagop.org/. From there, look at the left sidebar under "your party," then "party platform" then "immigration." It says:

The CRP recognizes that our country is enriched with the vast influence of immigrants from all over the world who have come to the United States of America for the unlimited opportunities, freedom and prosperity offered to every working citizen.

We support and welcome all legal immigrants and others who are here by due process and are productive, law-abiding citizens. In fairness to them, we oppose the tide of illegal immigration and support federal efforts to stem it. We further support the disbursement of federal funds to California to pay for federally mandated immigration programs and termination of the legal requirement for non-emergency assistance to illegal immigrants.

Thanks. A carefully worded endorsement of our present immigration policies.

"and others who are here by due process" is tacit approval of our catch and release policies and consideration for our political persecution exceptions.

"and support federal efforts to stem it." is unequivocal support of Bush's policies.

Two things are apparent:

1)The CAGOP is a stepchild of the RNC with regard to immigration.
2) The CAGOP, while willing to attack and frustrate California's #1 financial enemy, the California legislative majority, is unwilling to even meaningfully address the #2 enemy, the legacy of illegal immigration.

The major problem with that stance and the fatal flaw in their platform, both for the Republican Party and for California, is that in a short amount of time the legacy of illegal immigration will become California's legislative majority.

Judging by today's standards, the corruption of this legacy will bode ill for the state. Currently, the majority leader of the Assembly, the Lt. Governor and the mayor of Los Angeles are prime examples of the legacy of illegal immigration run amuck. A butcher and two, immigrant labor leaders ready to share the spoils of California's wealth and welcome their cultural compatriots to the feast.

I'm in agreement. If that's the policy of the CAGOP then they're the problem, not the solution.
