Survey says whites not majority in Texas anymore

HOUSTON White non-Hispanics are no longer the majority in Texas -- for the first time since the 1800's.

Today's Census Bureau survey says whites stopped being the majority in Texas as of last year.

Also, the numbers show that Texas joined only Illinois and North Carolina in having a poverty rate that measurably increased -- while income decreased -- in 2002-03.

Texas state demographer Steve Murdock says the two trends are related as economic woes have slowed white migration from other states.

Luis Figueroa with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund says the future of Latinos is the future of Texas, as the population numbers show.

Also:

-- Most of the Texas population expansion since 2000 has come from births and international immigration -- both sources of predominantly Hispanic growth.

-- The black population remained basically flat, at around ten-point-eight percent.

-- Asian-Americans now account for about three percent of the Texas population.

Oh my, Hispanics are the majority in Texas? How shocking. We will be a hispanic(more accurately Mexican) nation in 30-40 years. Here in Raleigh,NC the hispanic population(illegal aliens that is) has increased 500% in 5 years. No one is doing a thing about it. I went to the zoo here and all the signs were in English and Spanish. "The new south".

People don;t realize it though because the Mexicans all live in a VW parked in an Albertson's Lot in San Antonio.

What this does not mention is that many illegal imigrants were counted on the census.

The Census folks even admitted that there was a problem with that...due to how many of their survey people operated.

My point exactly. They're really twisting not to say "illegal".

Like the Alamo Dog, you're now out numbered.

Whites may be less than 50% of the population, but they are still the largest racial group. And it's not an "us against them" mentality in this state. Never has been, as the names of the Alamo defenders attest.

We elect hispanics and blacks to statewide offices here, and you know what? Not a single one of them is a Democrat.

You aint seen nothing yet brother. Wait until half the employers in your own state demand bilingual/Spanish for all the lower/middle management jobs.

Bet the rent, it's going to happen.

I feel we are doomed. I see our future as a gang infested meximerica.

BLACK FLAG LYRICS

"White Minority"

We're gonna be a white minority
We won't listen to the majority
We're gonna feel inferiority
We're gonna be white minority

White pride You're an American

I'm gonna hide

Anywhere I can

Gonna be a white minority

We don't believe there's a possibility

Well you just wait and see

We're gonna be white minority

We don't believe there's a possibility

White pride
You're an American
White pride I'm gonna hide
Anywhere I can?

Gonna be a white minority

There's gonna be large cavity
Within my new territory

Theres gonna be a white minority and we're all gonna die.

Sounds like a racist statement to me!

Perhaps Halliburton hired all the whites to drive trucks in Iraq.

That's about all you can do Dog, is put a happy spin on it. As sure as I'm typing here, you'll see region after region incrementally, start voting for leftist/socialist candidates. Bank on it.

It's part of da whole plan.

Like I sdaid in other posts, I feel helpless between the multi cultural Democrats and cheap labor, socially darwinistic WSJ wing of the GOP. I know while most people are focused on the Swift Boat vets, they ignore the real demographic disaster that is taking place in the US. It makes me physically ill, questioning if I should even vote.

Joe, the Democrat party is in full retreat in this state. You can put your spin on it, but you're not here and you don't know jack.

Illegal Immigration is Bad.
Any questions?
