Overview
Its aim is to help advance state policies and programs designed to stabilize the population at a level which they feel "will preserve a good quality of life for all Californians".[3] It asserts that the current growth of population is "unsustainable" and contributes to a growing strain on the environment and infrastructure.[4]
Immigration
CAPS supports immigration reduction. In 1993, CAPS filed a lawsuit against Hewlett Packard alleging that HP was violating California labor laws and paid residents of India who came to the U.S. below-market wages as contract programmers. The lawsuit was first publicized on CBS's 60 Minutes. CAPS claimed that such wage practices would drive down wages for U.S. workers.[5] CAPS ultimately lost the lawsuit.[6]
CAPS has been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an "anti-immigrant hate group".[7] Until 2017, CAPS' director of public affairs was a documented neo-nazi.[8][9]
