Perhaps this will give you some added insight into why California is in the current state it finds itself in:

Southern California: record poverty and industrial decay.

"Many in these low-wage jobs are immigrants with low education levels, mostly from Mexico and Central America and especially to Los Angeles. These often highly exploited immigrants have contributed to the increased levels of poverty. The majority of people living in LA County now are either immigrants or second-generation Americans."

This article was interesting! I've wondered for years how poor people can afford to live in Los Angeles. My family's income is well above the median and we can't afford to live there!
