Immigrants in California
- Share via
Of course state officials must face immediate and difficult issues caused by immigration, but “Calculating the Impact of California’s Immigrants” is a much larger question than the headline promises.
Today’s immigrants 20 years from now will be the parents of a new, and probably larger, generation who will need more water, fresh air, jobs, highways, food and other necessities already in short supply for the homeless and many others.
It’s not just a question of finding money for larger school enrollments or having cheap labor; it’s a matter of how many people can the Earth support.
