Look at the chart BoLevi posted, it shows a net loss of ~3 million people over 18 years.

I don't know, but could this be explained by California being a major point of entry? LAX and SFO are likely the point of entry for many of the international immigrants by air, and San Diego by land. Once immigrants arrive it would be logical that they start to live the American dream where they landed, and then move as they search for opportunities.
Would that show up as international migration into California, but state to state when the same person moves to another state?
