It's curious that there doesn't seem to be any data on how many illegally cross the different states borders right now, specifically Texas vs. California. It used to be that California clearly had the most illegal immigrants, but recent data is very hard to find.
The politics of California is basically the same as that of the Biden Admin. California politicians would claim that California is one of the biggest net "donors" or taxpayers to the Federal government, thus California has moral superiority on the cost of anything at the Federal level. Of course the Democrat conquest of California via immigration has already occurred, and was simply the role model for Democrat control of the entire nation.
No leftist in California would complain about immigration, even if they have to leave the state because of massive immigration. It's woke brainwashing.
FWIW:
1 in 8 U.S. residents is an immigrant.
Immigrants paid over $500 billion in taxes in 2021.
22% of all U.S. entrepreneurs are immigrants.
