Immigrants and Political Engagement in California

Ppiclogo

The Public Policy Institute of California has a fact sheet on immigrants and political engagement in California that I found interesting.  Here are the bullet points: 

A quarter of the nation’s immigrants live in California.

Immigrants in California express less interest in politics than US-born residents …

… but both groups are paying more attention to politics since the presidential election.

Naturalized citizens in California are more likely to be registered as Democrats.

Immigrants are more likely than US-born residents to trust the federal government.

Immigrants have more favorable views on immigration than US-born residents.
