Each year, the California Immigrant Policy Center identifies important immigrant-related policy issues being considered by our state's leaders and lawmakers. CIPC plays a leadership role in Sacramento working alongside lawmakers, advocates, policy makers, and community members to support policies that benefit all Californians.
As home to the largest immigrant population in the country, it is critical for California to implement policies that support immigrant families and integrate immigrants into our communities. Investing in California's immigrants will allow California to continue to reap the enormous benefits of its immigrant communities whose economic and cultural contributions have helped to make California one of the largest economies in the world. CIPC supports those policies that advance the well-being of immigrant individuals and families and encourage integration in order to improve the quality of life for all Californians.
