If, by Hispanics meaning illegals made legal (eventual citizens) then I would reword the title by changing “fire up” to “set fire.”

“Both came from low-trust societies”

Oh, is THAT what they are?

LOL

Well said, but on the other hand white America seems to have abdicated their birthright. Nature abhors a vacuum, and some population is going to fill it.

What you say is true also. There are far too many who live only for now and could give a crap about those that follow them. All too often for these leeches, those that follow them are only just tick marks on some government form that gets them more welfare money.

Most people from Spanish-speaking countries will work hard and become part of American culture.
Now, let’s ask the question, why is there a group that is perpetually indolent, always whining, never pulling its own weight, that has been here for a long time, that presumably speaks English, and is not contributing to America? Eh?

This, it should be noted, is the very same Economist that predicted a couple of years back that 47% of jobs would go poof in 20 years. If the jobs go away and never come back due to technological disruption, since when is loading us up with a ton of new people to educate and feed a good thing? Our own birthrate has plunged because young women have had quite a job on their hands just trying to get enough stability to consider having kids and this is going to make it worse!

Barone is placed in the somewhat embarrassing position of having to hip-check a gung-ho NWO puff piece about shamnesty, which IIRC Barone actually favors.

Enough of this Masters of the Universe bullsqueeze, and who knows, Barone may finally get enough of it and throw up all over America v. 2.0, "the North American Union".

“America is lucky to have millions of energetic young people filling its schools with kids who will eventually pay taxes and fund pensions and health care for the old.”

Maybe the “old” people could take care of themselves if their earnings weren’t stolen so it could be given to these “energetic young people” in the form of EBT, etc. Anyone that thinks they will just blend into this society is having hallucinations.

They will come in and live 2-4 families in one house. Fifteen of them will work and some menial job while the other 5 take care of the kids. Doesn’t cost much for each family. Get all their food on EBT and other benefits such as emergency room care. Most of them never learn English and have no intention of moving out of their old country ways and culture. You end up with another country within this country.

That’s what is happening now, but with what is forecast it just looks like we are being loaded up with our hemisphere’s excess in preparation for when the jobs all get done by robots.

More propaganda from The Ministry Of Propaganda on behalf of The Cheap Labor Express.

They’re trying to convince us to give up our country without a fight.

I’m not done fighting.....

Teenage pregnancy rates have been declining among Hispanics, as among blacks and non-Hispanic whites.

Maybe so, but out-of-wedlock births have been increasing for all groups, now something like 74% for blacks, 54% for Hispanics, 28% for whites, 17% for Asians and 42% overall.

So, more people are having kids out-of-wedlock at a little bit older age? Some improvement.

Yes, through birth control, abortion, Political Correctness, and our forsaking of God we sure did toss our birthright down the crapshoot.

I guess its a good sign that someone as mainstream as Michael Barone is asking these questions.

Better late than never.

There is no justification for what the politicians and corporate greed bags are doing to this country demographically. None whatsoever.

What Pollyanna, obviously the author of the posted article, and other Hispanifiers always neglect to mention in their generalized immigration narrative is that about 6 million Italians came here over a one hundred year period, a few million of whom went back home! At the moment, about 12-15% of the US population might be considered "Italian-American." Old-fashioned immigration meant about a million Swedes, 2 million Jews, 500,000 Poles, a million'o'this, a million'o'dat ... no welfare ... no vote ...no free housing or medical care. As the immigrant said, "Not only were the streets not paved with gold, I was going to have to pave them!"

But, since Teddy K's excellent "Immigration Reform Act of 1965," 35 million Mexicans alone have shown up, not to mention the illegal aliens of song and story. Latinos of one sort or another already far outnumber any other "ethnic group," rapidly heading toward 30% of "us."

In fact, within 75 years ...or less, our new amigos are going to become a majority, making us the northernmost Latin American "republic."

IMNVHO, the biggest problem? The Latinos have already undeniably reduced the gibsmedat population's chances of ever finding work, and are soaking up more of the welfare money we used to reserve for them. In the meantime, the Latinos ain't doing so hot over at la escuela, and their illegitimacy rates are soaring, too.

¡Ay Chihuahua! We sure about this?
