Many who have immigrated here illegally have expanded the way of life they left. Travel through many cities in California and you would not necessarily know you were in the United States.
Expanded the way of life they left? What do you mean? We have accepted immigrants since day one, and I can't think of one instance where immigrants "brought" poverty with them. Such a thought is ignorant. The causes of poverty are many, but immigration is not one. Immigrants are mostly fleeing poverty. They are here to work and pull themselves up.

If I am ignorant than perhaps I am keeping good company. Read Mexifornia by Victor Davis Hanson. He and I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley and have seen the small towns change for the worse. I am sure you are going to call me a racist but the poverty has exploded in these areas. Whatever the reason, they are not "pulling themselves up".

Weren't 99.99999% of these folks field workers/domestic workers?
Better tread easy, green mariner claims to be a slave back then, even though he's 25 or so now.
He's walked the walk.
Really. Whenever I bring up the historical fact that pre-1960s America for Blacks was quite horrible, the response is that of sarcasm and snide remarks.
I never claimed to have been a slave. I said if I as a Black man, were living in the America of long ago(1950s and before), it would have been horrible for me. That is a historical fact. That is basic US History 101.
