California's Burning...But Not From What You Think!
Ah, California. Land of sunshine, avocados, and...unidentified shadowy figures lurking in the underbrush? If you spend too much time wading through the comment sections of the internet, you might get the impression the Golden State is under siege by undocumented residents. But fear not, fellow truth-seekers, for we shall unveil the truth, with a touch of humor of course!
So, How Many Undocumented Immigrants Are There Really?
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
Here's the thing: getting an exact count is tricky. It's not like everyone fills out a "Just Moved Here Illegally" form at the border. However, some pretty smart folks have done their best to give us an estimate. According to the Pew Research Center, the number of undocumented immigrants in California has actually been dropping in recent years. Way back in 2007, they estimated there were around 2.8 million undocumented immigrants. By 2021, that number shrunk to around 1.85 million. That's a significant decrease!
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
Hold on, But What About All the News Articles?
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
Ah yes, the news. They love a good headline, and sometimes immigration talks can get a bit...heated. But here's the thing: undocumented immigrants are just people trying to live their lives. They're working, raising families, and contributing to the California economy. In fact, a whopping 82% of immigrants in California either have citizenship or legal residency!

So, the Big Reveal: California's Undercover Threat
Now, here's the part where things get a little weird. California does have a bit of an undocumented resident problem, but it's not quite what you might expect. Turns out, the state is overrun by...squirrels! Millions of furry little freeloaders who have taken up residence in our parks, attics, and hearts. Now, these fuzzy bandits are pretty cute, but they can be a real nuisance. Stealing food, chewing on wires, and generally causing mayhem.
There you have it, folks! The truth about undocumented residents in California. While the numbers might be a little fuzzy on the human side, the real threat might just be a bunch of bushy-tailed nut lovers.
