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.

If it did happen, Mexico and LA would still be demanding SNAP, EITC, WICs, Section 8, TANF, UIC, Union Payments, Tax Revenue Sharing, ObamaPhones, SSDI, SSI and all the rest. They’d still demand representation in the Senate and House of Representatives, too.

That place is more LOST than the characters on that inanely stupid TV show, “Lost”.

Whites will always owe non-whites - no matter how much they work to make it up. That’s why non-whites have a unalienable right to the earnings of whites.

This region will stay in the union to loot the productive Americans.

They use Democracy to rob their victims.

That would all be sort of OK if it helped out the California political spectrum, unfortunately it’s getting bluer.

The CA school kids demographics are just as bad. Turn out the lights, CA is done.

I do not see it. Look at Puerto Rico where the preference for independence has withered being in third place behind statehood and status quo. As in PR, why would Mexicans in the Southwest want to give up the welfare gravy train or those with legal status the opportunity to move to other parts to the US.

We have everything here but the Mexican army. Maybe Putin will help them occupy the six southern counties

When Charles Dana wrote of his experiences in the California of 1848, the total Mexican population of California was about 5,000 people ... or less.

Your question is unanswerable right now, because of the ridiculous and probably illegal custom of granting citizenship to the children of those in the country illegally.

When the government says, "There are 11 million illegals in the US..." they really mean they think that's the number in LA County. Furthermore, the government telling you that "39%" of the CA population is Hispanic, means nothing, because they actually have no, repeat NO, idea of how many illegal aliens are in CA, or anywhere else.

Hurt most by illegal immigration: African-Americans. All they have left in LA is the airport and part of the Welfare Dept! The Mexicans are even taking the lion's share of the Welfare payments and AFDC, because the Latino illegitimacy rate is soaring to match that of the Blacks..

today you are right it is far fetched. But conditions are always changing. As the SW Hispanic population, legal and illegal, continues to grow, a militant leader may well arise to rally the Hispanic population for whatever his/her agenda may be. The Hispanic invasion is out of control.

Puerto Rico is entirely different. They essentially are autonomous, running their own show, yet under the protective, nurturing (meaning monetary largess)care of the USA.

I recall seeing several stories just like this claiming Hispanics were already become the largest segment of California’s population. The stories ran last year and now we’re seeing the story this year. Does anyone really know what’s going on? If this is true how many times is this story going to be repeated and why is it being repeated?
