Bedford County has seen a 61.9 percent jump in its Hispanic population since 2000, U.S. Census Bureau statistics show. From 2000 to 2004, the county has gained 1,739 Hispanics for a total of 4,550 last year. Bedford County had the third largest increase of Hispanics in Middle Tennessee. Robertson County showed the highest percentage growth in Hispanic population in Middle Tennessee with a 95.3 percent increase, followed by Rutherford and Wilson counties with 78.1 percent and 70.1 percent respectively.
According to census numbers, the state's 2004 population is reported as 78.1 percent white, 17.2 percent black, 2.8 percent Hispanic and 1.4 percent Asian. The state ranks 38th overall in percentage of Hispanics, with California leading the county with the highest Hispanic population and growth.
The Census Bureau stated Thursday that Texas has become the fourth state in the nation to have a non-white majority population due to a large number of Hispanics moving to the state.
California went over the top in the 2000 census with a majority Hispanic population. Texas just did this past year. This process can NOT be reversed short of a bloody genocidal war. It is simply time to adjust.
If you've ever wanted to know what it's like to live in India, stick around 30 or 40 years.
CA doesnt have a majority hispanic population. Whites are not a majority in CA but they are still a plurality..There is no majority hispanic state. NM comes closest.
But your other points are right on. Stronger border control will stop oterhs from coming here , but those that are here are here period.
that is just nonesense. Even Mexico isnt India.
No It's a third world latin American country.
Or is it time to enforce existing law?
"It is simply time to adjust."
Code for appeasement.
actually if you go look at the demographics, Mexico is a wealthier country than most of the rest of Latin America, all of Africa, most of the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, and most of Asia.
They just announced this week that Texas White Anglos are now the minority. Not that I care about race, but the reason is clear: illegal immigration.
We should alert the President, I'm sure he is deeply troubled by it, and it will inspire him to do something about our borders.
/sarcasm
What does India got to do with this report?
Then they should stay in their own country or immigrate legally.
I was just thinking of our population 30 or 40 years down the road.
Hey, Bedford County, you ain't seen nothing yet.
... with California leading the county [sic] with the highest Hispanic population and growth.
Thank goodness we are still numero uno.
It is simply time to adjust.
Now that's depressing.
try Brazil...that is more likely our future...no one race is a majority, the rich wall themselves off from the rest of society
Gee I wonder why this is happening? Hmmmm? See tagline.
They're just doing the jobs lazy rednecks won't do...
Some of the arguments...."We can't throw them out"..."There's too many of them".....
Strengthen the border patrol and get me a catapult....I'll fix the problem my self.
MAYBE we dont want Brazil's current situation and thus should enforce current laws here at home.
This will probably be slowing down dramatically since Tenn Care has been revamped...
