True. Education doesn't make a population more influential. The foreign migrants makes LA a capital when it comes to immigration reform and policies . Politically, they have a lot of power simply because we dedicate a lot of political reform to benefit this population.

I'm not talking about "working class people", i'm talking about straight-up undocumented illegal immigrants.

A lot of them send their revenue overseas and it doesn't benefit the US economy.

Well then you are a fool for saying that an "extremely large percentage" are undocumented workers. And like em or not they benefit the economy.
