The bigots are mistakenly afraid that a once-minority population of Americans turned majority will treat white Americans the same way bigots have treated others in the past. El ladron juzga por su condicion.
Every teacher I know who has had a classroom filled mainly with Mexican-Americans has told me that it was a very frustrating experience because the Mexicans do not value education. Of course most of the Mexicans here in the United States are from a rural, Indigenous background and don't have the European background of the wealthier Mexicans who run that country. Anyway, the teachers became very negative about the Mexicans ever changing and developing an attitude of caring about higher education.
I totally get Republicans as they offend as many minorities as possible, especially Hispanics: Run them out of town, call them names, blame them for the Housing Crisis, blame them for crime and demand their ID like we're in old South Africa!
Surely when these new Americans become a voting majority, they will...well, VOTE Republican - to thank the GOP for the way that Party treated their parents and other relatives. conlibe.wordpress.com
I comment as a liberal because that's what I am but on this issue I just cannot advocate opening the borders and let the chips fall where they may.
Our current immigration laws are NOT being fully enforced.
* There is a reason for that*
I get around my state, NC, and have witnessed for years the Hispanic population explosion.
A great percentage of Hispanic women, under 40 pregnant and a toddler in tow.
*There is a reason for that*
The USA is being slowly invaded.
This is not an insidious Repub paranoid idea.
I hate that the immigrant countries of origin are that bad to live in but the problem lies there, not here.
That's what people said about the irish, the east europeans, the chinese, and the many others riding surges of immigration here. The make-up of America will change. Big deal. The kids of the new ones will eventually become middle class shop owners, mail men, insurance brokers... and their kids will become lawyers doctors and politicians. And when they get to be politicians, don't expect them to go nuts protecting "the establishment." It's called evolution.
How many of the kids are the result of inter racial marriage? A hispanic marries a white or like my daughter marrying a black man all count in this statistic.
Citizenship aside, many of the "beaners" as George likes to refer to them are descended from people who were in North America thousands of years before white Europeans even figured out how to build boats much less move here.
The Census Bureau needs to change their demographic model. It passively instills racism among Americans. Ethnic groups have been intermarrying and assimilating into one another for generations now, and it is time the U.S. Census recognize multi-ethnicities and stop lumping people into one race of people or the other. Many Americans don't consider themselves to be one race or the other, but rather embrace all the different ancestries and cultures that make them WHAT they are because that is WHO they are. And WHO they are is WHAT America IS.

Let's go with Republicans on this one.
