How Poor Are America's Poor? Examining the "Plague" of Poverty in America

excerpt:
Immigration and Poverty
Unfortunately, any effort to reduce the number of poor persons in the U.S. will be partially offset by current immigration policies. Each year, immigration (both legal and illegal) adds hundreds of thousands of new persons to the nation's poverty count. Overall, first-generation immigrants and their minor children account for nearly one-fourth of all poor people in the U.S.[37]
excerpt:
Conclusion
The living conditions of persons defined as poor by the government bear little resemblance to notions of "poverty" promoted by politicians and political activists. If poverty is defined as lacking adequate nutritious food for one's family, a reasonably warm and dry apartment to live in, or a car with which to get to work when one is needed, then there are relatively few poor persons remaining in the United States. Real material hardship does occur, but it is limited in scope and severity.
Comments
Educated people don't vote Democrat.
Did he let it be a handcap? No. He knew how to work and had a job as long as I knew him until his death.
Everything is racial with some people.
EVERYTHING.

Does an identifying race need to be mentioned when talking about another individual?
Does "Could not read, write, do math and incapable of signing his name" identify a race? I do not think so.
Would it have made you feel better if I said "I knew a white or black uneducated individual"?
