California Demographics: Dyslexic Rats Scurried Onto Sinking Ship

Here are the latest demographics of interest from the California Department of Finance.

• California's total population increase last year: 350,174.
• Number of births: 524,476.
• Number of deaths: 240,677.
• Births minus deaths: 283,799
• Net "immigration" (i.e., people moving here from foreign countries minus people moving to foreign countries from here): 138,859.
• Net "domestic migration" (i.e., number of people moving here from another state, minus people moving to another state from here): -72,484.
• Net "migration" (i.e., all people moving in minus all people moving out): 66,375. 

I interpret the migration figures to mean that illegal aliens keep pouring in, but American citizens are fleeing. California, in short, keeps importing poverty and exporting middle-class Americans. 


The figures for Los Angeles County are particularly telling:  net "immigration" of 42,426, and net "domestic migration" of -47,568.
