I doubt if "most" are, but yes, there were many dust bowl refugees
that made their way to California, particularly to the Central Valley.
In fact, that's the genesis of the California agricultural inspection
stations one sees on the highways leading into that state. Their
original purpose was to turn away such "undesirable" immigrants. For
that, the State of California got dragged into the Supreme Court for
interfering with the US Constitution and the right of Americans to
freely move from state to state.
