Barone on Immigration

Michael Barone is one of the best data analysts going. Writing for Real Clear Politics, see what he says about immigration trends:

Most housing foreclosures have occurred in four states -- California, Nevada, Arizona and Florida -- and about one-third of those who have lost their homes are Hispanic. Immigration is stimulated by the reports of success that immigrants send back home. It may be discouraged by reports of failure.

Barone suggests the storm clouds of recession may have an immigration silver lining.
