Almost half of Californians were either born in another country or are the children of foreign-born parents.

This is no news to Californians but I hope it is an eye opener to those who don't understand the concerns raised by many on this forum.

More revealing is that when all generations of the children of aliens, who entered illegally since WWII, are counted they comprise a super-majority of California's residence.

This would translate to a substantial reduction in California's population had the nation not adopted the immigration philosophies which were contained in the landmark 1965 immigration act that enhanced LBJ's Great Society.

Since California relies extrodinarily disproportionately on the larger tax payer to finance it's government, reductions in a sector of the population that acconts for a majority of the state's educational and "social" expenses would have had a significant impact on California's current financial crsis.

Whether good or bad these are startling numbers. Numbers not approached by any other state. Not even Teaxs.

You should see parts of Texas. There are fast growing areas there English is not spoken by many people at all. Even is a city the size of El Paso, one third of the people don't speak English.
