A recent poll found that 62 percent of Californians believe that the best days of the state lie in the past rather than ahead. It also found that 53 percent of Californians would like to move somewhere else.

California has both the highest percentage and number of immigrants in the country.  So why are so many Californians so disenchanted? Read more at edelman.com

In his State of the Union Address President Trump made a powerful case for the need to stop illegal immigration. He stated that this a "moral duty" and added that “no issue better illustrates the divide between America’s working class and America’s political class. Wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders while living their lives behind walls and gates and guards.” Unfortunately, the president undercut his message for immigration reform by departing from his prepared text and stating that he would like to admit legal immigrants in "the largest numbers ever."

CIS's legal action is a civil lawsuit under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Read more at cis.org.
