Mark Levin read off statistics on yesterday's show which confirm what we all know is true - the social welfare state is being propped up by immigration - legal and illegal.

We are importing poverty in the name of 'the American Dream' and the socialism "required" to rectify it will bury us. We are fools.

I heard that segment. Just about the ‘uninsured’ in America at 47 million....9 million (19%) are illegal aliens.

The bottom line is, WHEN YOU IMPORT POVERTY, YOU GET MORE POVERTY!

Here is the article he was reading from:

Importing Poverty

By Robert J. Samuelson
Wednesday, September 5, 2007; Page A21

[snip]the media and politicians — missed a big part of the story. It is this: The stubborn persistence of poverty, at least as measured by the government, is increasingly a problem associated with immigration. As more poor Hispanics enter the country, poverty goes up. This is not complicated, but it is widely ignored.
