It isn't. Look again at the numbers. In 2006, there were 36.5 million people in poverty. That's the figure that translates into the 12.3 percent poverty rate. In 1990, the population was smaller, and there were 33.6 million people in poverty, a rate of 13.5 percent. The increase from 1990 to 2006 was 2.9 million people (36.5 million minus 33.6 million). Hispanics accounted for all of the gain. This is just another example of rightie number manipulation. Poverty levels went down during the 1990s but have been rising ever since Bush took over. So all that had been gained during the '90s has been lost plus 2.9 million more. Isn't that grand?! As for immigration, current immigrants are the wealthiest in this country's history. So I doubt they are the problem. As for illegals, I don't know how the data is collected but I doubt they are being counted......at least not very much. One of the major complaints by cities is that illegals are vastly undercounted during the population census done every ten years. See, Tim, how your guys play with the numbers to make it seem like the left is nuts. That's to insure you keep drinking the koolaid. Cheers!
