"In a bitter irony, Stewart says many of her prospective clients are dyed-in-the-wool leftists who embrace living-wage ordinances and stronger worker's rights laws.

VDARE.com: 05/20/09 - Race Differences, Immigration, And The Twilight of the European Peoples (Lecture,2006)
We are living in an extraordinary time. Nothing like this has ever occurred in human history.

In sharp contrast to Indian Americans, most U.S. immigrants, especially Mexican, are much less wealthy and educated than U.S. natives, even after many years in the country.
