Latinos become California's largest demographic though political clout lags
UK Guardian ^ | March 17, 2014 | Rory Carroll

It is a demographic milestone signalling the changing face of America: this month, Latinos will overtake whites to become California’s largest racial/ethnic group.

They will officially make up 39% of the country’s most populous state, edging past the 38.8% who are white non-Hispanic, and dwarfing the Asian American and African American communities.

In the back of my mind given Latin America's political history and how California is becoming a Third World country with a Latin American like inequality when will the Latinos go after the Gringos in LA and SF and vote for a California version of Chavez or Peron.

How many are in the country legally? How many are children of illegals?

And the sun sets on California, methaphorically speaking.

What is interesting to me is that so many liberal Californians have departed to less costly states, turning them bluer. AND California gets even more blue than it was via immigrants.

Within the life span of even middle-age Freepers, California will secede from the union.

And no one will care - especially the millennials who are clueless about America. its culture and history, and its special place in the world.

There are future Obamas out there for whom these aimless, clueless. by then middle-age and retired millenials will fall for like they did for the black community organizer in his empty suit.

It was a great country while it lasted.

So are whites going to be classified and viewed as a “minority” now, with all the percs, privileges & quotas that go along with said status?

Just wait 30 years until America decides it needs access to the Ports of LA or San Diego after this region declares its democratic right to self-determination.

What will Russia say?

That will never happen even if whites were down to 10% and hold no offices, it would be open season

Yes, liberal Californians are all over the red state south now. A bunch in my neck of NE FL. Here you can get a coastal lifestyle at about 1/3 or even 1/4 the housing cost of CA.

As to California

From the L. A. Times:

1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliensin Los Angeles County are living in garages.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

8 Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.

10. In L.. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.. (There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County .)

(All 10 of the above facts were published in the Los Angeles Times)

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

We are fools for letting this continue.

What if:

California split into two States. And what if the southern state had a preponderance of Hispanics. And what if some event caused them to demand separation from the USA. And what if a referendum resulted in which they voted overwhelmingly to either separate from the USA as a nation, or become a state of Mexico.

Ditto, Arizona and New Mexico.

Sound far fetched?? Don’t discount it. We live in strange times. Failure to control borders leads to unintended consequences. Remember Crimea!!

Well, I’d say if Mexico wants Los Angeles, let them have it.

At least Mexico would be tougher on immigration.
