the reason why I don't benefit is not because I"m from a western state (I live in a liberal county btw), but because I'm responsible.

social services are only for irresponsible people that have babies when they can't afford them, and teen mothers and other irresponsible people.

[chequita guevara]

I don't have any babies.

[Nubclear]

I took social services to mean the infrastructure of the social support system in a nation, not "Social Services" as in the child-protection agency

NYC doesn't necessarily deal with the same immigration problems as California. Does it really get that many illegals?

The county of Las Angles has 50% of the population either an immigrant or the child of an immigrant. 50%-60% of the immigrants are illegal.

I'd like to see the results broken down by native vs non-native born and by race. I'm willing to bet people can guess which races will have higher scores.

[Dis]

I suspect Asians will have the lowest scores

[Snowflake]

Oh yeah, no doubt.

And California as a whole, IIRC, has 6 million illegal immigrants living in the state.

That is the reason for the low performance of southern states.

Our illegal immigrats are legal as soon as they hit the shore. . . Unless they're Haitians.

Which is funny, given that we have one of the best education systems in the entire country, and the best high school.

Funny or not, it's true. Maybe your reputation is overstated.

These included such positive attributes as per-pupil expenditures, public high school graduation rates, average class size, student reading and math proficiency, and pupil-teacher ratios. States received negative points for high drop-out rates and physical violenc

Oooh! So the more money you spend on something the smarter you are! No comment is nessecary on this BS.

[chequita guevara]

There is a relationship between sepndning more money per pupil and how well they do, however, once adjusted for COLA.

Bush should scrap his Missile Shield, and move some of that money into securing our borders and ports.

You do seem to discount the fact of immigration - many nations export their intelligent workforce to the United States.
And discounting social servies is not a small thing

They don't export a lot of people who just graduated from high school and are just entering college. Most of the type of people you're talking about already have a graduate or undergraduate degree.
