Recommended: California Progressives Fail the Immigration Test

The article California Progressives Fail the Immigration Test is interesting, especially as California touts itself as the beacon of progressive government in the face of the rightward drift of the rest of the country. As the author points out, California has been ruled almost exclusively by progressives for years now, so it is a fair test of their policies. But in fact, California is in a bad way, even by the measures progressives care about - social mobility, education, income inequality, etc.  That ought to cause progressives to re-examine their policies, but of course it doesn't.
