  • CAUFORNIA GEOGRAPHICAL Society INTERSTATE Scott L
    CAUFORNIA GEOGRAPHICAL SociETY Vol. XXXIII, 1993 CALIFORNIA'S REDISTRIBUTIVE ROLE IN INTERSTATE MIGRATION, 1935-1990 Scott L Kirsch alifornia has for long been the primary geographic focus of west­ Cward migration across the United States. In recent decades, while California has continued to attract the greatest number of interstate mi­ grants, the state has also emerged as the country's leading redistributor of population. From 1985 to 1990, nearly 2 million interstate migrants moved to California, and during the same period over 1.8 miUion inter­ state migrants left California for other states (U.S. Department of Commerce 1993). For the third consecutive decade, California not only attracted the greatest number of interstate migrants, it was also the most common state of origin for United States internal migration. In the pro­ cess of California's interstate population exchange, clear geographic pat­ terns have developed: Californja has gained population from the Northeastern and Midwestern states of the traditional industrial core, and lost popu1ation to the states of the peripheral West, most notably to Washington and Oregon (Kirsch 1991). Meanwhile, Californja now at­ tracts more international migrants than any other state (Muller and Espenshade 1985), and with immigration as the largest component of California's population growth, larger than both interstate migration and natural increase, the state's population reached 29.8 million .in 1990 (U.S. Department of Commerce 1993). Bearing in mind these trends in migration flow and population growth, an analysis of California's role as a population redistributor is a crucial step towards understanding the movement and distribution of popu1ation in the United States.

Brubaker: Dream of Californication: Constitutional Questions Put the Brakes 2011] DREAM OF CALIFORNICATION: CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS PUT THE BRAKES ON THE NATION'S FIRST LOW CARBON FUEL STANDARD I. INTRODUCTION While the federal government struggles to pass a comprehen- sive climate bill, California finds itself in the familiar position as a leader in clean energy and environmental policy by establishing the nation's first low carbon fuel standard (LCFS). 1 Standing in its way, however, are several lawsuits pending in the Ninth Circuit alleging that California's LCFS violates the United States Constitution.2 The plaintiffs in these lawsuits, including ethanol producers, corn farm- ers, and trucking associations, are all fighting to prevent unfavora- ble corn-ethanol regulations from decimating the corn-ethanol market in California, the nation's largest ethanol-consuming state.3 As the scientific community debates the facts surrounding the in- clusion of indirect land-use change in carbon accounting, the coun- try awaits a decision from the Eastern District of California on the important constitutional and environmental issues associated with state regulations of carbon emissions.4 1.
