Ken . . . . I respect your attempt to shed some positive information regarding immigration assimilation, but I am left somewhat confused mostly, I think, because of holes in the data that leave me questioning the conclusions. In Norway, the conclusion is that the education system is playing a helpful role but I don't see any data to justify that. Why the drop off in job success after fifteen years among immigrants? Is that because the second generation has not been present long enough to benefit from the full term of schooling? The Canadian data is hard pressed to show any trends. The Canadian concern by country of citizenship are not compatible with those of US citizens. How do you explain worry over Nigeria and Hungary, for example? And what explains the fall from in 2013 to 2011, when worry worry was cut in half? Look at the data from the United States! According to Pew Research the population of illegals leveled off from 2009 to 2013 to an average of about 11.5 million. I heard Mr. Trump take credit for the sudden decline during the Recession in his speech in Pennsylvania last night. I wonder how he achieved that? Quite remarkable, I think. So, the percentage of illegals in our workforce has steadied at about 8.1% while the unemployment rate fell from about 10% to 4.7%. In six states the number of illegals increased to nearly 60%: Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington. I can see why we really, really need that wall along the borders of California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. Wow, that will help a bunch! Can you help me understand? I am confused.
