“The California exodus is speeding up” [Quartz]. “According to recently released data from the US Census, about 38,000 more people left California than entered it in 2018. This is the second straight year that migration to the state was negative, and it’s a trend that is speeding up. Every year since 2014, net migration has fallen…. Besides births, the main reason California’s population hasn’t already started falling has been international migration into the state. Every year since 2011, net domestic migration has been negative—i.e., more people leave California than move in from other states. But from 2011 to 2016, the number of international migrants moving into California was larger than the number of locals who were moving out.”
Translation. LA gets about 3,000 new Central Americans a month, roughly. And that is why LA City council meetings are now a nightmare, the LA City Council is obliged to house and nurse the new immigrants. They might steal the money from teachers, and with the LAUSD contract unpaid, city council members start to worry.
Look at the Sacramento school district. Same problem, and the teachers are being laid off as their school district never paid for the last strike. All characteristic of Central American governance.
