amNY - No Immigrants, No New York

“Dios mio, it would be awful! Living in New York without illegal immigrants! Who’d deliver the Chinese food? Who’d raise the children on the Upper East Side?...That’s the dirty little secret of all this anti-immigrant uproar. Once the ugly speeches are finished and the call-in talk hosts have packed it in for the night, nobody seriously wants to chase off Maria, Sophia or Jose…If they suddenly stopped coming – or federal agents actually rounded them up – we’d have to offer special internships to lure them back immediately.” – Ellis Henican

Although this amNY article simplifies the roles undocumented immigrants play once they arrive in the U.S. beginning with a pun about hypocrisy amongst Arizona’s new legislation supporters, it made me think about how much New York is characterized by undocumented immigrants. What are your thoughts on where NY and other states would be?
