Census Data Reveals Jump In Minority Populations, Particularly Hispanics, And Not Just In Big Cities

[longtree-2009]

If I recall correctly, Mexico has a population of some 100 million while the U.S. some 300 million and Canada about 30 million. It is not all Mexicans that are here illegally. There are Hispanics from nearly every South American nation. Then, there are the Cubans, the Brazilians. Don''t forget the Chinese, the Russians, and so forth. The point is it is not only Mexican illegals. Sometimes it seems the Mexicans take the rap for the rest of the other illegals that seem to be ignored by U.S. mainstream society.

The move is on, and has been for some time, to consolidate Mexico, Canada and the United States into one country. Both the Bushes and Clinton played their parts to make it a reality. Read "1984". That''s their bible, and they''re following it to the letter. I have to go now. My telescreen wants me to exercise.

If a parent is here illegally and a child is born, we need legislation that makes that child ineligible for citizenship.

The reason illegals come here is because we take care of their basic needs free, while they just send our dollars back to their homeland.

Flyers in 6 languages? In a public school? Ridiculous. If you are legal, either learn the language or fail and go back home. If you are illegal, then forget you.

Praiseallah,

I totally agree with you , my grandmother lives in Pharr TX and she sees it every day. Just go to the wallmart, there is a mexican having a baby every day

[avembe]

you must acknowledge that you BENEFIT of the taxes illegal immigrants actually PAY SINCE THEY CAN''T!!!And since they are supposed to be millions of them, do the maths!!!!!!

[avembe]

Some people here are just INSANE!!!!!!!!!
well i hope the ratings were far more higher for the minorities...
You CAN''T have it both ways...Capitalism NEEDS people it can pay less...that''s the point!!!!!!!!!You have 2 choices:
1- Your country CHANGES the economical system(but you know it WON''T)
2-Your country keeps the same system then you accept all that goes with and you STOP WHINING!!!!!!!!!!

[praiseallah1]

I work in a major hospital and of course hispanic birth rates are going up and its because more and more pregnant Mexican women illegally cross the border from Mexico and enter our country so they can they go right to one of our hospitals where they receive free high quality healthcare and have their babies born in the U.S. which automatically makes their children U.S. Citizens! This is why healthcare costs for your family and my family have skyrocketed within the last decade. State and Federal legislation needs to be enacted that will not only complete building a wall at the border but also force hospitals to report this illegal activity to ICE so that immigration can deport them before they receive care.

To all those people complaining about the growth of "minorities" population, there is a solution: Start making more children, at least five to a family. There, problem solved.

[palmettodp]

Sending pamplets home in SIX different languages? That is unacceptable - we should demand legal immigrants have a command of the English language before entering the country. We should also seal the southern border ASAP.

The states are going to have to address this problem because it''s obvious Washington will not.

[standlee5]

We shouldn''t have recklessly let in more people than we can afford to support and that is exactly what''s happening. Illegal or not. Go to rural America and see how many hispanic families of 10 are on govt assitance. How on earth can a laborer afford a family of ten in this day and age. That my friend is reckless.

[yongamerica]

Hispanic populations increase 29% and some believe they are all legal immigrants or citizens. This could be true as the children of illegal immigrants could be US citizens by birth. An seeing that Hispanics are good Catholics or Mormons and try to have a child at least every other year, these statistics could be truthful and accurate. Even though it tells a story not many like.

[clovisbuford]

The funny thing is all you silly ones ranting about illegal immigrants when its actually legalUS citizens here they are talking about. You that stressed about not being the largest numerical race in America ? I had one kid , the face of America is changing .You are Whining about an article that talks about US citizens not illegals and making it an immigration debate ..one we went though with the irish ,the germans , the chinese ,etc. .You should be more concerned with a society where no matter what your racial back ground you are treated fair , since in the near future ,caucasions will be a minority , whime about it , ignore it , worry about illegal immigration , its the fact . We should all be more concerned with a society where things are fair for all ,then race is not an issue eh .

[standlee5]

Wasn''t this Bill''s idea. Well it kind of backfired. How are we going to support all these low skilled workers during poor economic times. If you''re in the middle class get ready to get taxed to death.

[clovisbuford]

These low lifes will be pushed out one by one.

oh going somewhere you can make an honest living for your family now qualifies you for low life ..intersting take on morals there big boy .funny I was raised no matter what it took you took care of family whether it was working 300 miles from home or what ever .. they night be here without a legal visa , but the majority are not "low lifes" jsut people trying to survive with their families .

[standlee5]

Congress ought to be tarred and feathered for their complete reckless immigration policy. They kept listening to big business that there weren''t enough workers in America. Bullsh*t. Now we''ve got a huge social dilemna on our hands.

[o2bewealthy]

This is only a trend that can be reversed any time the "white" population wants to put family ahead of materialism and career opportunities; however, we''ve grown so selfish over the decades - people don''t want to get married and have children any longer. If you don''t like the trend, who''s really to blame? All those illegals taking jobs no one else wants - who are these companies going to hire if "whitey" isn''t having any kids and if the illegals don''t find the jobs beneath them? It''s easy to blame policy or illegals, but that''s not where the blame really belongs.

[standlee5]

Particularly Hispanics, And Not Just In Big

Well duh, illegal Mexican immigrants have taken over rural America. Pat ourselves on the back it''s our tax dollars that pay for English language education and the birthing of eight to ten kids per family. No problem, Welcome to America.

[clovisbuford]

The problem with America is that the feds won''''t do anything about the illegal ******** pouring over our borders.
If too many Mexicans come(which they already have) we will be no better than Mexico, which is the toilet of the world.

errr nor teaching science at my tax dollar on "science" like "intelligent design" which is creationism(christian eveangelical bible stories ) masked as science .

[liberty_1776]

I''m not angry that foreigners want to come to the US and make a better life for themselves, but I don''t want the government to wave my tax dollars in front of them as an enticement to come here. Public schools should not divert money from the general curriculum into programs that teach in a foreign language. If you want to live in the USA, you need to learn English. If I moved to Mexico or France and refused to learn their language, they would ostracize me. And their national media sure as hell wouldn''t be promoting "multi-culturalism."
