I personally favor some restrictions, but from a political view you can not win office by running against immigrants any more than Sitting Bull could have won the presidency campaigning against the white man. Yes, the average Californian is 30 and brown, and not from lying on the beach either, anymore; and the average California voter, on the other hand, looks like me and is about my age: but this is hardly a long term situation.
