UC and CSUCS are not funded by the country, they are funded by the state.
They were created to educate Californians for work in California. Most of
the resident students have been living with their families in the state,
and paying taxes, for some time and they would be loth to leave on
graduation.

While many of nonresident students may remain in the state, there is no
legal way to force them to remain, so it is not as sure they will stick
around to pay taxes for the next generation.

Though in some cases, foreign students are sponsorred by their government
for the specific purpose of bringing their education back home.
