[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did they do a study to determine whether the spike is due to undocumented immigration or if the threshold to qualify for services is lower than in the past?[/quote]

Real incomes have been declining since the 70s, primarily due to deregulation of the economy. There's a ton of work on this. [/quote]

Uh huh. And 40 million immigrants had [i]nooooothing [/i]to do with it.[/quote]

And why have we had so immigrants from Latin America in the past few decades? Because we, the US, pushed NAFTA and other free-trade agreements that enriched our corporations but destroyed the agricultural economy in Latin America, making the drug trade the only way to make money for the uneducated peasantry, for which we, the US are the largest market, and we, the US, choose not to address the causes of addiction to lessen demand, and those poor Latin Americans who didn't want to participate in the drug trade have to flee. So yeah, if you want to stop immigration then lobby and vote for economic regulation of international trade, and reform of drug laws.[/quote]
