Of course a wealthy lawyer who has kids in private school is not going to feel any impact. You're not competing for wages, you've not had to pull your kids out of their school and move away. Hispanic immigration is the #1 factor for white flight in this area.
Unfailingly liberal elites who say none of this is an issue have their kids in private schools.

The economic impact is significant in terms of Medicaid expenditures, ESL classloads and welfare contributions. Texas, Arizona, Nevada and Cali are significantly impacted.
For example one of the unseen complications is ESL students count against graduation if they fail to graduate which affect federal funds in support primary and secondary education.
Medicaid expenditures are significantly affected.
Prisons and Jails are affected by the influx of immigrants.
Naturally, uberwealthy liberal elite attorneys in the northwest are unaffected and can judge and offer opinions about matters that do not affect them and about which they know nothing. Michael, if you or I were worth $10 to 20 Million, with nannies, house cleaners and auperes ushering them to private schools, we would think askance too about anybody believing immigration had any negative impact upon US cities.
Public schools are taxed by individuals who are not paying property taxes. The immigration issue does have a severe economic impact upon the region.
