Hispanics accounted for about half the growth in the U.S. population since 2000, according to a Census Bureau report to be released today that indicates the nation's largest minority group is increasing its presence even faster than in the previous decade. In another contrast to the 1990s, births have overtaken immigration this decade as the largest source of Hispanic growth.
The new census figures paint a portrait of a Hispanic population dominated by the young: Half are under age 27. By comparison, half of non-Hispanic whites are over 40. That reflects a demographic divide that could have broad implications, experts say. And the speedy growth of the Hispanic population beyond the enclaves of the past could put their concerns into a more national spotlight.
"It's going to have profound effects on America. They are no longer regionally concentrated in places like California and New York," said Harry P. Pachon, president of the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute, a California think tank. "There are more Hispanics in Cook County, Chicago, than in Arizona or Colorado or New Mexico. . . . The major significance is that it's a national presence."
In July 2004, Hispanics numbered 41.3 million out of a national population of nearly 293.7 million. They have the fastest growth rate among the nation's major racial and ethnic groups. In the 1990s, they accounted for 40 percent of the country's population increase. From 2000 to 2004, that figure grew to 49 percent.

Than socialist babyboomers?
Ah, now comes the classic response--the race card name calling. Always to be expected from the soft-on-illegals crowd.
My position on illegal aliens, including the hordes from Mexico, is one shared by all loyal Americans. We believe in protecting American sovereignty, secure borders, and the preservation of American culture, customs, traditions and language. Those are our values. If you accept them, you are one of the good guys. If you don't, I have no use for you. None.
What are your values?
Uh, you're the minority, remember. See Buchanan.
Nice of you to speak for all Americans, though.
Actually, I'm only speaking for loyal Americans.
That doesn't include you.
You're an odd bird and represent perfectly why fringes rarely take root.
Maybe the plan goes something like this:

Look in the mirror. The clowns you run with on this forum are a disgrace. None of you are conservatives.
"...and represent perfectly why fringes rarely take root."
Well, if that's the case you and the rest of the pro-illegal alien apologists, enablers and supporters have more to worry about than do conservatives/loyal Americans, because you are in the tiny minority around here. And you know it.
But lets see if you are willing to answer the question that none of your pro-illegal alien fellow travelers have ever been willing to answer. The last one to run screaming from the room, without an answer, was your pal Once-Ler. Lets see how you do.

They will have a profound affect on the US....see V.D. Hanson's essays on this topic. The publishing world has been trying for years to get Hispanics to read more, and the promotion of Jennifer Lopez to superstardom was manufactured in the hopes Hispanic dollars would be spent on movies, dvds' cd's whatever. Big business wants their dollars, and we will continue to be flooded with Hispanic stars of whatever medium.
* crickets *
I don't run with other Freeper like you and yours. How's BootHill?
What are your values?
Family. Yours?

There's that "all loyal Americans" again. Yikes.
You should get offline occasionally and chat with your family.
That's characteristic of developing societies, not advanced societies.
So most Hispanics are illegal aliens? You can, of course, document that assertion.
That was characteristic of the United States in 1950. Was the US not an "advanced society" then?
No, it wasn't.
Most of the recent wave are illegals...indeed.
Guess it's just a matter of time before China figures out how to send it excess millions over here.
You sure don't. We wouldn't have you.
What I asked you: What are your values?
Your answer: Family.
"Family" values is a nonresponsive answer to my question. No surprises here. Like Once-Ler, you dismiss the values of American sovereignty, secure and protected borders, and the preservation of American culture, traditions, customs and language. So you reject the loyal American values shared by all conservatives. Consequently, you are no conservative.
Your question: Yours?
My Answer: Previously stated. See post #67 above.
There's that "all loyal Americans" again. Yikes.
As we have seen, there is no danger of you being included in this group.
Getting a little too hot for you, is it?
You may want to follow your own advice. We promise not to miss you.
Link please?
the baby boom post WWII is for one reason: WWII
