> In contrast, millions of impoverished illegal immigrants arrived over the last 30 years without legality, English, or high school diplomas. ... > California is a one-party state. There are no statewide Republican elected officeholders. Notably, it's historically been the consensus opinion of the state's Republicans that it was their attempt to lean into the kind of racist BS in the first quote above that lost them the state. Now they have pivoted to conspiracy theories about illegal voters to explain away the electoral failure of vile and petty xenophobia in the state, which builds its high tech economy on immigrants from around the world.
