It is turning blue due to immigration and other demographics. It is following the path of VA.
I just got to tell you: these people are not as low paid as you think. If they were all raptured out of here tomorrow, there would not be anything like a one to one employment of Americans, because until we reform welfare, Americans will continue to do things like work for cash themselves here and there while taking up benefits...or just live with mama and hang out at Starbucks.
Immigrants use the welfare system to a greater extent than the native born. So ehat's their excuse?
In 2010, 23 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) lived in poverty, compared to 13.5 percent of natives and their children. Immigrants and their children accounted for one-fourth of all persons in poverty.
The children of immigrants account for one-third of all children in poverty.
In 2010, 36 percent of immigrant-headed households used at least one major welfare program (primarily food assistance and Medicaid) compared to 23 percent of native households.
n 2010, 29 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) lacked health insurance, compared to 13.8 percent of natives and their children. New immigrants and their U.S.-born children account for two-thirds of the increase in the uninsured since 2000.
Of adult immigrants (25 to 65), 28 percent have not completed high school, compared to 7 percent of natives.
You can believe that or not, but regardless of who is right or wrong, it’s just pathetic of you not to think I’m earnest about my beliefs.
You must have confused me with someone else. I have never questioned your earnestness about your beliefs. I just think you are grossly uninformed about the immigration issue. And you like it that way.
