Just a note to anyone who might be studying this stuff... We are currently
in a new era of very high LEGAL immigration. The Illegal immigrants get all
the press, but legal immigration rates have gone up a lot recently. I heard
the other day that the numbers have gone up since 2010 even, and that we
are now somewhat at par with the late 1800s immigration rates.

This has a huge impact, both positive and negative, depending on what
you're talking about.
