I probably should have pointed out that "the idiot with the blog," was getting his information from The Center for Immigration Studies, " an independent, non-partisan, non-profit research organization [that] the nation's only think tank devoted exclusively to research and policy analysis of the economic, social, demographic, fiscal, and other impacts of immigration on the United States."

In any event, however, it was less my intention to state with authority that the NY Times was wrong, as simply to point out some interesting statistics from both sides of the immigration issue that had appeared recently.
