Here's the dire state of affairs in California: http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_6492635

We are being forced to "assimilate" to Latino culture. Unfortunately, "Latino culture" has been incompatible with decent living: look at corrupt, failed, Mexico for just one example. Our politicians and our courts have sold us out.

The title of your link is: “Latino baby boom changing demographics in California”.

It does not deal with crime or social pathology. It just deals with “changing demographics” and also goes on to say that 40% of Latinos in California go on to intermarry with other ethnic groups.

Yep, the same “crisis” happened to the Old Knickerbockers of New York City in the late 1800’s when all those Eastern European Jews started moving into New York City by the thousands and drastically changed the demographics of New York City.

New York City is home to more Jews than any other city in the world. New York City became the immigration Mecca for the Jewish people

These Eastern European Jews were not seen in the same light as the well educated Sephardic Jews that Americans were used to:

Eastern European Jews: Many of the Eastern European Jews that arrived in New York during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries came from small, poor, and enclosed communities, also known as shtetls. Within these communities there was no aspiration for a high degree of education, because from a religious standpoint it was not encouraged and from an economic standpoint it was not feasible. In the eyes of a shtetl Jew, a high degree of education meant continued religious studies throughout a lifetime. The highest position that a man could strive for was to become a Rabbi, while a woman was destined for the role of a housewife. Neither obtained skills that would be useful in a world so different than the shtetl.

Read the magazines of the day and you will find articles warning about the dangers to American society of allowing in immigrants from such a poor and alien culture so unlike the “civilized” Sephardic Jews that could function well in American society.

And look what they were doing to the old New York City neighborhoods that used to have signs in English.

Yep, it’s the same old story.

In the end, the Eastern European Jews did just fine. New York City was never the same but, that’s the way it is in America.

In the end, the new Latinos will also do just fine and, with a 40% intermarriage rate, will melt into the Heinz 57 mix that is America a lot faster than the Eastern European Jews did.

Instead of lashing out at all Latinos for being Latinos, maybe we should be lashing out at illegal aliens because they are illegals.
