After giving it much thought, I've come to believe that this is not a race issue but a class issue. If you pay close attention to immigrants in our country, a good majority reap the benefits of our system more than the average american. Why? Because they know how hard it is in their country and they take advantage of the opportunities. The reason why I say that this is a class issue is because the middle class financial gap is shrinking and I'm predicting that it will be widen out due to the influx of immigrants. Has anyone ever notice that they only invest in their own? Around here, Latins come here make money, send it back home, and invest the rest here in their own family. It doesn't immediately go back into the market (which is very smart). As a result they tend to "come up" a lot faster. The same thing with Asians, Russians, and other Europeans. They take advantage of the opportunity and that becomes a problem to a lot of Americans who waste theirs because immigrants literally take over neighborhoods with large numbers and active participation. There's a county in Alabama where 10 years ago I would ride through with my uncle and I would see all these latin workers on the road doing roadwork. Now I drive through that same town and they have an elected official, still out there doing the road work, they have stores, and the population there is about half latin and half everything else. It's damn smart if you ask me. That's just my two pennies.
