An article appeared Thursday in The USA Today which illustrates the positive impact of immigration (both legal and illegal) on the nation’s economy.

The article also gives the lie to more of the usual biases being tossed about by our political “leaders” not grounded in fact. “Urban myth” as we characterize “lying” today in polite circles, such as the internets.

The article reported on a study of the top five surnames of home buyers across the country in 2000 and again in 2005.

Would you believe that Latino and Asian home ownership is exploding across the land? Well, ok, its exploding in California, Texas and the other western states, mainly, but its increasing most everywhere else, too.

Is this a bad thing for the future of our great nation? Should we be sending Minutemen or Special Ops forces, or should we be sending Social Security Card recruiters and real estate agents to patrol the border looking to facilitate an improved economic future for ourselves, our children and their children?

It seems quite clear to me.
