Doesn't that mean the poor AREN'T getting poorer????

I don't agree with Samuelson's solution - I would not kick the illegals out - - - also I don't know that it would work, since there's a lot of poor LEGAL immigration too.
And I think it's clear that even the poor immigrants themselves do ultimately move up.
So don't kick them out - - - but can we all try to stop the Paul Krugman crowd from falsely using their numbers to make it sound like there's a fixed population some of which is BECOMING poor????
I mean on a GROSS level there will be shifts - someone loses a job, typically in a sector long-troubled like auto, etc.... But on a NET basis, DOMESTICALLY poverty is declining at a pretty good pace.
Again, if you wnat to let them stay, fine, let them - but don't use their numbers to make false assertions that the rising tide isn't lifting all the boats that were already in the harbor!!!!
