California's challange over the next few years and decades is to effectively
harnass the economic power of a motivated immigrant population, particularly
the Latinos.  For decades the state and federal government has treated the
situation ambigiously- neither wholeheartly deterring immigration, nor
encouring full legal absorption of the immigrants.
One effect is to underplay the situation and inadequately count the people
who use public services.  The official census counts not match those who
atend schools or use health services.
Another effect is the creation of a underground economy which revenues do
not enter the state system and support state services.  There are lots of
people who work and buy on a cash basis.  There is a large amount of business
being transacted in swap meets, out of roving mercchant vans.
