New York's immigrant population has always been around 40%, except for around the mid70s through mid80s (I know, I know, you love the 80s and Reagan, but the main reason the immigrant population went up then was Reagans amnesty). So while you think it should be 10-20%, you're basing that off... Nothing.
New York at its biggest growth was 40% immigrant. New York during the countries biggest periods of growth, 40% immigrant.
If anything, you're making a great case for less border security and looser immigration laws.
On what planet do you think I support any form of amnesty? Just because a GOP president was dumb enough to sign it doesn t mean I think it's a good idea. Any form of open border/amnesty/or even loose immigration standards is the last thing this country needs: Restricting the border for a decade or two or even three might allow us to catch up with the current situation and increase the quality of life for the low to mid wage worker.
Not so much of a reagan fan .... More of a Calvin Coolidge guy myself.
