    3 of them were not born in the United States and one was born to an immigrant escaping Yugoslavia. A good reminder that the country attracts a lot of people because its great and the people in turn continue to contribute towards its greatness.

      And the California climate attracts people to California schools.

        It's more than the climate, it's the culture and ecosystem of innovation and creative expression

          Funny how all of you can be so wrong at the same time and dance around the elephant in the room. It's mostly the disproportional amount of money and opportunities that attracts immigrants to US/California vs anywhere else in the world.

          Most people including US natives, would rather choose to be somewhere nicer like Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, etc, if they could get the same money and opportunities there.

          Skilled people with options, don't voluntarily put up with US lack of walkable cities, PTO, healthcare, public safety, rampant homelessness, if it weren't for those amazing salaries and job opportunities that don't exist anywhere else in the world.
