We will agree to disagree. We are entering uncharted territory with the changing demographics of this country. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities as defined by the USG. Non-hispanic whites will be 50% of the population by 2043 down from 89% in 1970 and 63% today. There are electoral consequences from these shifts in population. Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Dem. And they are the biggest users of the welfare system.

All in all, minorities, now 37 percent of the U.S. population, are projected to comprise 57 percent of the population in 2060. (Minorities consist of all but the single-race, non-Hispanic white population.) The total minority population would more than double, from 116.2 million to 241.3 million over the period.

In 2056, for the first time, the older population, age 65 and over, is projected to outnumber the young, age under 18.

I honestly think you are extrapolating the idea that poor immigrants will always be poor immigrants, and therefore their politics will remain Leftist/Socialist.

If that were the case, German immigrants of 1848 (basically Leftists who were defeated by Royalists); the Irish of the Potato Famine; later Italians, Serbs, Russians and Poles (who came in the late 1800s/early 1900s) would all be Eugene Debs socialists today...

They’re not. Some of these groups are the bedrock of modern conservative voters, and very much part of the Trump Triumph of 2016.

The only immigrant groups that stayed with their socialist roots have been European Jews and Scandinavians.

If your numbers are true, then we should work now to teach conservatism to the Hispanic immigrants, and ensure they leave their Social Justice Latin Catholicism behind them. I’m a catholic, but more on the line of John Paul II and Benedict 16. If they’re gonna stay in the Catholic Church it needs to be American Catholic, not Latin American. By the way, we have some LEGAL Mexicans in my church, and they only come to the English mass, and they like our very conservative priest!

Nothing in life comes easy, sorry to say. A tough order, but it can be done. We are, however, the United States of America, and I believe in American Exceptionalism—as spelled out in the Declaration of Independence. I don’t think you have to be a certain ethnic group to believe in it also.

AB: Although your Sharyl Attkisson fantasy has been totally shattered, there are many other available gals out there who would be happy to accommodate you. (just so you can do you part to reverse those white voter statistics)

And....can you please do something with those Bishops and priests who do nothing to oppose the baby-killer "catholic" elected officials? They should be blasting them with Hell-fire at every Mass.

Why the hell would any self-respecting Catholic (and "hispanic") voter support these pro-death scum?
