Main reason for poverty: massive illegal immigration

Robert J. Samuelson offers "Discovering Poverty (Again)":

...Given these trends, the overall poverty rate should be drifting down. It isn't. The main reason, as I've written before, is immigration. We have uncontrolled entry of poor, unskilled workers across our southern border. Although many succeed, many don't, and many poor Latino immigrants have children, who are also poor.

Exactly; we're importing poverty and it has to be deliberate. The census reports 'income per person by race' and it shows hispanic per capita incomes at less than half that of the majority.
