He called the Middle Eastern population one of the nation's fastest-growing immigrant groups, and that they are, on average, far better educated and slightly better paid than native-born Americans.
Surprisingly, though, Camarota found, about 23 percent of the Middle Easterners use some sort of welfare, higher than the native population.

Sure they're far better educated.....their homelands and use of welfare sure don't indicate that. These are backward third world types coming to get the handouts and easy life of welfare.

Illegal Mexicans have a huge jump on them. I think that the illegal Mexican threat is more dangerious in terms of a loss of our culture. That's because their numbers are much larger.

If it's a choice though, I'll take the Mexican illegal culture over the Arabs' anyday.

They will in the future I'm sure. Just like the ones who demanded the US repay what the Mexican government stole from them in the Bracero program.

So, we just deduct the amount from next year's aid package to Mexico, if there is one.

Ed hegstrom loves to focus on immigration issues.

He is okay.. sometimes spotty on the facts.

the influx of Middle Easterners including yes Israelis (I'm not an anti Semite, just telling the truth)

Nah, it's true. Israel is in the Middle East, not the West.

I had a conversation with an Armenian who was proud of taking welfare & scornfully said that America screws everybody, so he has the right to screw it. An Arab in the conversation was shocked, because he has just arrived in America & didn’t know that you could do that.

Sickening. I grew up in one America and I will die in some kind of dystopian America
