  • What Went Wrong with California, New York, and New Jersey? [View article]
    I agree that illegal immigration was likely a factor in the collapse of all three states.
    An inflow of cheap labor that depressed wages and took away jobs from native born resulted in a host of programs having to be funded to cope with the problems created in housing, health care and education. The problems ranged from higher education and welfare costs to lower per-capita tax revenue due to lower wages.
    I an infer that last phrase without having to look for data to back it up. It is a logical consequence.
