US Poverty Level By State
Louisiana has a poverty rate of 23%, Mississippi - 22%
California isn't even in the top 10 of the highest poverty rate in the US.
Given that the National poverty rate in 2014 was 14.8% of the population, how could 8.9% be the highest poverty rate of any State?
Your study from an anti-immigrant website is a piece of shit. If it's basic premises is based on false or misleading information, how good can it's conclusions be.
do you understand the difference between legal immigrant and illegal alien? If you don't, then you have no place in this discussion. No one opposes controlled legal immigration.
only idiots like you want unlimited illegal immigration.
Paperwork
Easy enough fix
so your plan is to ignore violations of your laws and make everyone legal. unlimited? do we let everyone in? are there any limits?
how about if we ignore all laws that we don't like. I don't like having to drive 65 on the interstate, why cant I drive 85 if I think that law is stupid?
but seriously, how much immigration is too much? would you put any limits on it?
The solution to the immigration problem is called 'Comprehensive Immigration Reform'. That means studying the immigration system and policies and changing them so that they work better for everyone.
republicans are against 'Comprehensive Immigration Reform' because they need an immigration crisis as a political football.
Changing our laws because of political pressure from foreigners is like letting rapists change the penalty for rape or a murderer the penalty for murder. Do you know what "Reform" means? It means illegals don't like the way we do things so change it for them.
There is nothing wrong with our immigration system. It's tough to get in, it's tough to become a citizen, but it's worth it in the end. Nothing worthwhile in life comes easy.
Democrats/Liberals have made clear that they wish to overturn the Constitution and replace it with foreign law.
1. In a blistering dissent,
Scalia, Rehnquist and Thomas wrote: “I do not believe that approval by ‘other nations and peoples’ should buttress our commitment to American principles any more than…disapproval by other ‘nations and peoples’ should weaken our commitment. More importantly,”
foreign sources were being cited “not to underscore our fidelity to the Constitution” or to the American heritage, but rather “to set aside the centuries-old America practice- a practice still engaged in by a large majority of the relevant states- of letting a jury of 12 citizens decide whether, in a particular case, youth should be the basis of withholding the death penalty.”
ROPER V. SIMMONS
2. Scalia pointed out that Supreme Court
Justices who cite international opinion do so only when it conforms to their own, liberal, preferences. Further, he point out that American law in the areas of the exclusionary rule, abortion law, church-state relationships law, our law is more liberal than European laws….and that the Justices do not refer to alien law in those cases.

In the last few years, Kennedy, Breyer, Ginsburg, O’Connor and Stevens have all invoked foreign law in making decisions and filing dissents.
Fonte, “Sovereignty or Submission,” p. 110.
a. In 2003, Breyer, Ginsburg, and O’Connor met with French president Chirac to discuss
French views on the death penalty. This, as the French were a prime mover on the Council of Europe with the announced intention of “abolishing capital punishment in the United States.”
Multilateralism comes to the courts > Public Interest > National Affairs
b. “ In Grutter, Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg (joined by Justice Stephen Breyer) cited both the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (which the United States has ratified) and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (which it has not) as evidence of an “international understanding of the office of affirmative action.” In Justice Ginsburg’s view, these international conventions provide the grounds for “temporary special measures aimed at accelerating de facto equality.” Ibid.
c. “In Lawrence, Justice Anthony Kennedy prominently recurred to a friend-of-the-Court brief on
foreign law and court decisions filed by Mary Robinson, the former U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, and to a key decision of the European Court of Human Rights.” Ibid.
