  South Jersey Heritage - R. Craig Koedel: Chapter 11: A Home for the Homeless
The immigration pattern in South Jersey changed in the closing decades of the 19th century as southern and eastern Europeans streamed to America in greater numbers.
The ethnic pattern of South Jersey was further altered in the 20th century by a large influx of Southern fls during the two World Wars.
These facts notwithstanding, a larger potential fl migration to the urban areas of South Jersey at the turn of the century was blocked by a vastly greater influx of southern Europeans, who competed for jobs, worked for lower wages, and moved into established fl neighborhoods.

 HUMAN EVENTS ONLINE: The National Conservative Weekly Since 1944
Democrats are using a study made by two sociologists, one at the University of Minnesota and the other at Northwestern University, suggesting that, since 1978, seven U.S. Senate races plus the 2000 presidential election would have turned out differently if felons had been allowed to vote.
To try to give convicted felons the franchise, Democrats are playing the race card, asserting that state laws have a "disparate impact" on fls and Hispanics and therefore violate equal-protection guarantees.
Ten ex-convicts, including a convicted killer, are suing to void the state law, because 81 percent of the prison population, 75 percent of parolees and 52 percent of probationers are fl or Hispanic.

 The Torricelli case: another debacle for the Democratic Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The collapse of New Jersey Senator Robert Torricelli’s reelection campaign, barely a month before the November 5 election, is a demonstration of the moribund and reactionary character of the Democratic Party.
Torricelli continued his alliance with the right-wing Cuban exiles obsessed with the overthrow of the Castro regime, campaigning for legislation that would have kept Elian Gonzalez in the United States and blocked his return to his Cuban father.
In New Jersey, Torricelli set the pace, with a jet-setting lifestyle that was in the sharpest contrast to Democrats’ bogus claims to represent the interests of working people.
