I asked you to explain a fact not praise Clinton.
In Texas, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, Washington, Virginia, and Oregon, immigration accounts for half or more of population growth. Immigrants and their minor children now account for almost one in four persons living in poverty. The proportion of immigrant-headed households using at least one major welfare program is 24.5 percent, compared to 16.3 percent for native households.
The low educational attainment and resulting low wages of many immigrants are the primary reasons so many live in poverty, use welfare and lack health insurance, not their legal status or an unwillingness to work.
In 2002, there were 9.7 million school-age children from immigrant families in the United States. (Facts from U.S. Census and Center for Immigration Studies.)
Furthermore, as Joel Mowbray reported in the National Review recently, the federal oligarchy was caught red-handed trying to combine the social security system of Mexico with that of the U.S. The deal would have cost the U.S. billions of dollars. These dollars would come from the taxpayer in an economy that is in the throes of a post-bubble free fall, a crash forged by the excesses and blindness of our financial and federal elite in the first place |
