We have created in America a permanent political class that has powerful incentives to remain in office and grow government. Protected from accountability by gerrymandered districts and financial support from special interests, its members at times actually defy their constituents, as they did on the illegal immigration issue in 2007 and the mortgage bailout bill in 2008. It's time to hold our politicians to account.

vdare.com: Hispanic workers are displacing non-hispanics
VDAWDI is calculated like this:
For every 100.0 Hispanics employed in January 2001 there were 124.0 in July 2010
For every 100.0 non-Hispanics employed in January 2001 there were 97.8 in July 2010
July’s VDAWDI equals 126.8 (=100 X 124.0/97.8)
Of course, Hispanic employment is an imperfect proxy for our primary interest: foreign-born employment and its implications for job prospects of native-born workers.
