The Many Benefits Of Illegal Aliens

The Washington Examiner reported last month that the wealthy and heavily Democratic Washington, D.C., suburb of Montgomery County, Md. is undergoing some not so surprising changes. Apparently large numbers of high-income people are migrating out of the county because of what they regard as a declining quality of life. The area’s net population is growing, but the growth is made up predominantly of immigrants who do not make the kind of money (and will not pay as much in taxes) as those who are leaving. Foreign-born residents now account for nearly one-third of the county’s population.

The Examiner reported that, “nearly one in four students in the public school system are now receiving free or reduced-price meals, the largest fraction since 1990; At least four Washington-area charities have established Montgomery County offices since 2003, citing a growing need among the area’s residents, and county officials say they are increasingly receiving complaints about overcrowded homes, a common story in many counties where there are large numbers of illegal aliens.â€
