Does America like California people? There is a lot of talk about Californians leaving California to move to America. What is not covered is — how well are California people treated when they move to America.

Every state where Californians have moved to in larger numbers (blue arrowhead) — now talks trash about California routinely.

Nevada is the 1 exception. Sort of.

Why is that?

“It’s funny how the very state that is so adamantly against keeping terrorists out of our country — they oppose the president’s travel ban — now wants to keep Californians out of Texas,” Marc Rylander, communications director for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, told the Houston Chronicle. “I guess that’s California logic.”
