AMERICA is a country built by immigration, but nothing in its history compares to the rise in its Hispanic population. Changes to immigration law in the 1960s triggered a decades-long surge in arrivals, taking the Hispanic population from just 7m in 1970 to 57m today, a number that is set to double by mid-century. At that point one in four Americans will be of Latino descent. In relation to the population of the day, there have been proportionally larger surges in the past, notably involving European migrations in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Two factors make the rise of Hispanic America different. Never before has such a large group of new arrivals lived so close to their ancestral homelands, linked to grandparents in the same time zone by cheap flights and Skype. Secondly, America is entering an era of white decline. For almost two centuries, from the time of George Washington's presidency to the election of Ronald Reagan, whites of European descent made up at least 80% of the population. That share is below two-thirds now, and the white majority is set to become a minority by 2044...

Thanks to your republicrat leadership.
In Mexcio ALL citizens are deputized to enforce immigration laws:
Say you’re a 40-something Guatemalan transiting Meh-hico by train —a 6-year-old can ARREST you.
ANY PERSON.
Being present (and doing nothing) at ANY political gathering is grounds for arrest and immediate deportation.
I’m 58 and in 15 years will have probably departed this earth, but I fear the future in a declining America for my kids and granddaughter.
Mark Styne said it best - the Progressives are in the process of dissolving the electorate and installing a new one.
One of the most vivid sources for the details of cultural change wrought by out-of-control immigration is Victor Davis Hanson:
He’s a conservative history prof at liberal Calif State Fresno, in the ag valley of California and he tends to ride his bike a lot and looks around and the changing countryside.
Discarded garbage, rusting cars, smashed-up campers, endless lines of fat dumped on the roads from taco-trucks that simply dump grease at the end of the day, instead of paying for orderly disposal.
He’s incredibly detailed and mourful about this changes he sees. He has been in Fresno since forever.
Leftist propaganda to cover up imminent and massive voter fraud.
“The overall U.S. birth rate, which is the annual number of births per 1,000 women in the prime childbearing ages of 15 to 44, declined 8% from 2007 to 2010. The birth rate for U.S.-born women decreased 6% during these years, but the birth rate for foreign-born women plunged 14%—more than it had declined over the entire 1990-2007 period.1 The birth rate for Mexican immigrant women fell even more, by 23%.”
No habla ingles.
They are increasing in number but not assimilating. Press 2 for spanish or hold on the line for english...
That is a great way to put it; a much more docile electorate with no tradition like that of our Founding Fathers...
Hussein aids and abets ‘reconquista’. That’s it in a nutshell, and I go outside and say WTF and do nothing about it.
...which is considered a self-evident good by a plurality of our PC-indoctrinated, brain dead American electorate.
My town is changing like that (though not as bad); many uninspected, unregulated businesses (Hispanic fast food, barbershops, and bodegas) and varying degrees of abiding by sanitation guidelines in terms of garbage disposal.
I remember an article he wrote that covered what you describe. He talked about how all the environmental laws that hamstring the law-abiding are rigidly enforced in the hallowed liberal bastions on the coast. In the interior, enforcement of the same crimes but committed by immigrants is rare to non-existent.
He’s on a local Indy radio show, Greg Garrison WIBC. every Thursday morning for a 10-15 minute spot.
He often talks about the very things you mention. Love listening to him and reading his articles.
It's really funny how for all the Hispanics we have in the Phoenix metro area there isn't much visible evidence of that kind of decay. We have our barrios, sure, but somehow just having a county sheriff who says "No" makes a big difference. :)
Traffic on the right was given right for the sake of all traffic. Naturally, you are not civilized if you have something, and don’t share it, so the traffic on the right regularly tries desperately to give its right of way to traffic on the left, to the detriment of all traffic.
The rest of civilization operates similarly.
True our south of the border friends have a proven track record of accepting generations of corrupt permanent rulers.
That was the plan all along.
