[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The places in the U.S. with the fewest immigrants and the most homogeneity are the places that fear immigrants the most and are doing the worst economically. [/quote]

I doubt this is true once you break down the statistics.

I said upthread that concentration of poverty in highly dense living situations is an urban (and now suburban) issue.  We're talking mainly minorities - black and Hispanic.

But guess what? The "hip and edgy" professionals living OUTSIDE of the highly-impacted areas keep the urban and suburban areas afloat.  It's not as though they're doing anything to directly HELP the poor. In fact, I'm confident in saying that many exit the metro and ignore a few homeless folks on the streets on their way to work.

Look at LA!  It's a thriving and wealthy city, no?  Yet it's filled with homeless camps.

Urban/suburban doesn't translate into better.  I'd actually say the people are worse.  In rural environments, there are few jobs and people have to travel miles to see a doctor.  There is no big biz or no gov't. to keep those areas afloat.

But in the urban/suburban settings, biz and gov't. overshadow the poor.

not the case in Middle America
