California boasts a remarkable 25% immigrant population, which is double the national average, with areas like Santa Clara County showcasing even higher figures. Recent immigration policies and raids, notably in Los Angeles, have raised concerns about the vulnerable immigrant demographic in the Bay Area. Furthermore, approximately 73% of immigrants in the U.S. are estimated to be naturalized or legally documented. This context underscores the vital role of immigrants in California's social fabric, as cities like Fremont and Sunnyvale illustrate their substantial contributions to the local population.
The United States is a nation of immigrants, and California even more so, with twice the national percentage of immigrants, highlighting the state's role as a diverse melting pot.
While immigration raids in Los Angeles have dominated the news, the Bay Area's population is especially vulnerable to immigration policy changes, especially given the high immigrant demographic.
