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
So the Hispanics are going to save us from ourselves?
Gracias.
Fire it up or turn it into another third world urinal?
Lord help save us from these destructive idiots
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!
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.
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.....
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.
Better late than never.
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?
So what if some immigrants work hard while they case places for home invasions? I know of a family whose home was burglarized by the Hispanic painters "working hard" painting the house across the street. "Working hard" or "wanting a better life" can apply also to bank robbers and is no excuse for breaking our laws.
Re: “The vast immigration from Latin America, mostly from Mexico, between 1982 and 2007, is over — at least for now. Net migration from Mexico in 2007-12 was zero, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.”
That is an extremely misleading statistic.
It includes ILLEGAL Mexican immigrants, who primarily come to the USA for work.
Because of the Great Recession, more illegals returned to Mexico during that period, and fewer illegals came to the USA.
In terms of LEGAL immigration, Mexico remains the largest source country, by a wide margin.
In 2013, the most recent year for final statistics, Mexico accounted for 14% of new Green Cards issued.
The man is a dreamer.
