There is also the political angle to consider - Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York used to be solidly Republican - guess who they voted for in 2000?

Oh, you are a FRINGER ! Just what FR did NOT need more of.IMHO

For the record, I am TOTALLY against ILLEAGAL aliens. I am against ILLEGAL anything ! "VBG"

The meatpacking industry ; however , has ALWAYS used new immigrants . Read " THE JUNGLE " ( of course, written by a Socialist, a lot is exagertaed / lied about, but some things are quite true ! ) , old newspaper articles, and by all means, read up on exactly WHY the PURE FOOD AND DRUG ACTS were so badly needed.

Thanks - I posted an article a couple of weeks ago which indicated that the government was on the lookout for nukes coming into the Port of New York; this seems to confirm the threat.

[nopardons]

You are , again, correct !

[sarcasm]

Have any other inane comments?

[nopardons]

Bridgeport hasn't been a " wealthy " town, since Katherie Hepbur was barely in her teens !

Norwalk was NEVER anything but middle calss !

Stamford has been a "mix " , for decades.

Wanna try to talk about a subject you actually KNOW something about ? : - )

[PRND21]

Yes, why do you always post from the Left wing Times?
Are you trying to keep Hispanics voting for your party?

Americans are increasingly subjected to having to morph into 'foreigners' in their own neighborhoods.

Not me - I won't morph into anything.

[sarcasm]

Let's see - the New York Times is a supporter of increased immigration so, if anything, they downplayed this article by publishing it on a Saturday. I don't have the print edition but I imagine that they buried it on page F 32 somewhere.

Do you have anything useful to contribute?

The general pattern is that immigrants in the last 10-15 years make much less than native born Americans, but that immigrants in the country longer than 15 years make MORE income than native born Americans. It's only temporary. Despite educational, language, cultural, and sometimes ethnic differences, most immigrants do very well in two decades. There are, of course, exceptions.

[sarcasm]

I believe that you are speaking about past patterns of immigration. The influx of the last decade is less well educated than their predecessors and will not do nearly so well. The Federal Reserve has studied this issue and concluded that the current crop of immigrants will be a drag on productivity growth due their lack of education.

Have you read Christopher Hitchens' book about Bubba "Noone Left to Lie To"? He goes into much depth about Clinton's and Tyson's shady partnership.

13 word response, based on a lie.
At least my less than 25 word posts are not lies.
ESL? White people, like myself, are the ones responsible for keeping you and your ilk from gaining credibility.
Remember that, Joey.
