Whatever the president says, this state does the opposite. It's working.
California, which is one-eighth of the U.S. population with 39 million people and one-seventh of the nation's gross domestic product of $2.3 trillion. Far from being a mess, California's economy is bigger than ever, rivaling the U.K. as No. 5 in the world, when figures for 2016 are officially tabulated.
California is the chief reason America is the only developed economy to achieve record GDP growth since the financial crisis. Much of the U.S. growth can be traced to California laws promoting clean energy, government accountability and protections for undocumented people. Governor Jerry Brown, now in his fourth term, considers immigrants a major reason for the state's success: "39 percent of us are Latino and the majority are from Mexico," he said in a March 2 interview in his Sacramento office.

Commifornia is just reaping the rewards of cheap, illegal labor, just as they have always done. While the rest of us toil away for an honest living. But, there is no shame in earning an honest living. In fact, some people are proud to do so. These people are rich beyond calculation, and worth far more than any illegal laborer or business owner that employs them could ever be.
California has more people,a lot more, below the poverty line, than the knuckle dragging red states.
That's because a lot of poor new immigrants migrate to CA and they start from the bottom.
Studies show that many move up the economic ladder, their places at the bottom filled by new poor immigrants.
How many people live below poverty is the WRONG question to ask, it's a slight of hand meant to fool the dim and the dumb.
The key is how many poor stay poor, and here CA does better than many red states; where the opportunity to improve their economic standing is bad compare to CA.
