This review is from: The California Cauldron: Immigration and the Fortunes of Local Communities (Hardcover)
Clark's main thesis is that if the current immigration patterns persist in California that state and the nation as a whole could be in serious trouble. The population of Califrnia due to immigration is exploding (mostly with hispanics who are not assimilating well). These immigrants tend to gather together causing strains on local communities in providing public services to these immigrants.

Clark believes entry into the United States should be based more upon skills and human capital rather than family reunification. Furthermore, he believes increased funding in education should put forth on the part of the federal government. Hopefully, in his opinion, this will even the playing field somewhat and help immigrants assimilate more effectively.

This book is a worthwhile read especially for those interested in immigration and its potential effects on local communities.
