That isn't what happened to California, what happened to California was the growth of Catholic and non-Protestant voters which turned California into a permanent blue state."
Yes but before that is what really mattered. It was the influx of people from back East mainly New York when they came the state allowed the influx of the others you are pointing out.
You think that New Yorkers took over the California vote and passed the 1965 Immigration Act at the federal level?
That was what created this last 100 million people and it wasn’t done at the state level.
