California is America's most industrialized, successful, and populated state (35 million people); while living in or visiting California, and driving through out the massive Sacramento Valley (the south end of this valley is called the San Joaquin Valley, but it's all the same geographically-from Redding to Gorman's Pass); notice the countless rivers and creeks flowing EVERYWHERE...those are all diked...channeled by levies. Those were originally built by Chinese workers.

The Union Pacific Railroad that goes from California to Promontory Point in Utah was primarily built by the Chinese in 1869. The Irish immigrants built the eastern portion which connected the two at that point.
