“Hard-working immigrant families are significant contributors to California’s economy, which is now the fifth largest in the world. Implementing this wrong-headed proclamation would cause irreparable harm to California’s communities, our healthcare market, and vulnerable immigrant families across our state and throughout the country,” he added.
