Immigtirant Population in California on Decline
After decades on the rise, California’s foreign-born population has peaked and in some large areas — including Los Angeles County — has even slightly declined, with that trend expected to continue, according to a new report. This peaking of the foreign-born population has occurred earlier than previously forecast because of sharp declines in new immigrant arrivals, largely attributed to stepped-up border enforcement and the downturn in the economy, according to the report by USC demographer Dowell Myers. In the report’s figures, California has a population of roughly 34 million.
