[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 289708, member: 8259"] This is an old article but I thought it was somewhat relevant. It just seems odd that the liberals want to complain about people moving up out of the middle class and complain about some people being poor while importing the poor from other countries. From the article. Take median income, the Democrats' favorite gauge. Since a median pinpoints the exact middle of a population's distribution, and since those 500,000 undocumented newcomers are virtually all on the bottom end of the income spectrum, soaring illegal immigration tends to push median income down. From me. I do not disagree that people are moving up out of the middle class but people are also flooding in at the lowest income levels. This is due in no small part to the great opportunity here to be successful if you are willing to work hard and take risk. This is not a bad thing as most liberals would have you to believe. [/QUOTE]
