Behind the US Census Bureau's latest results on poverty and income lies the disturbing result of rampant illegal immigration and it's effect on the increasing numbers of those in poverty.
Some excepts from the study:
Race and Hispanic Origin
* Real median income did not change between 2002 and 2003 for non-Hispanic white households (about $48,000), black households (about $30,000) or Asian households (about $55,500).
*Households with Hispanic householders (who can be of any race) experienced a real decline in median income of 2.6 percent between 2002 and 2003.
* Comparison of two-year moving averages (2001-2002 and 2002-2003) showed that the real median income for households with householders who reported American Indian and Alaska native, regardless of whether they reported any other races, increased by 4.0 percent to $35,441. There was no change for those who chose the single race of American Indian and Alaska native ($32,866).
Nativity
* Native households had a real median income in 2003 ($44,347), not different from that in 2002. Foreign-born households experienced a real decline of 3.5 percent to $37,499.
The figures stick out like a sore thumb. And then there are these statistics:
Among those who indicated Asian as their only race, 11.8 percent were in poverty in 2003, up from 10.1 percent in 2002. The number in poverty also rose, from 1.2 million to 1.4 million. For the population that reported Asian, regardless of whether they also reported another race, the rate and the number increased to 11.8 percent and 1.5 million.
Among Hispanics, the poverty rate remained unchanged, at 22.5 percent in 2003, while the number in poverty increased from 8.6 million in 2002 to 9.1 million in 2003.
The president would like to change immigration rules to make a de facto amnesty for illegal immigrants. His plan would solidify a foreign-born, primarily Hispanic, underclass perpetually beholden to a white upper class for their material well-being as maids, nannys, gardeners, or other low-end service workers.
And, more importantly, as Heather MacDonald reports a criminal element that is becoming generationally entrenched.
It seems that we are heading towards a formation of an American society that will become as socially striated as much of South America has been since the Spanish conquests. A mainly white, European upperclass, a Mestizo underclass, and a native people (in our case, blacks) yearning for equality and economic liberty.
A consolidating of an Hispanic servent society will continue to exacerbate a black underclass striving to advance, through entry level access, to a stake in the American economic miracle will not happen.
In addition, our limited government is threatened as racialist organizations agitate to allow illegal immigrants to enjoy the rights of citizens (voting, benefits, services) without the socialization that our institiutions frequently fumble on.
