When you bring in 1.2 million legal immigrants annually, the vast majority poor, uneducated and unskilled (87% minorities as defined by the USG) and another 500,000 more illegals, almost all minorities, the demographics of the country are bound to change.

The U.S. adds one international migrant (net) every 34 seconds. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 80 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest it has been in our history. And by 2050, one in 5 residents of the U.S. will be foreign-born.

True. The funny thing is that many of the immigrants are not settling in central cities, but in older suburbs (or in garden apartments out in the exurbs).
