Camarota is Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington , D.C. He holds a master's degree in political science from the University of Pennsylvania and a Ph.D. in public policy analysis from the University of Virginia .

This is why they did the right thing in Arizona . More states should follow their lead. It's easy to dismiss individual programs that benefit non-citizens until they're put together and this picture emerges. Someone did a lot of research to put together all of this data.
