Now you got it. It is legal immigration that is the bigger problem. The 1965 Immigration Act changed this country forever and will eventually lead to its destruction. We are just beginning to realize the electoral implications. But if the GOP thinks that giving amnesty will resolve our problems, they are sadly mistaken. It will just hasten the process of making the Dems the permanent majority party.
The 1965 Immigration Act: Anatomy of a Disaster
And the new legal immigrants and their kids that are here now dont seem receptive to the ‘they must wait in line too’ arguments especially since so many jumped ahead of the others on family visas.
By 2019--7 years from now--half of the children 18 and under will be minorities as classified by the USG. Each cohort that reaches voting age, 18, will be increasingly minority and Democrat. By 2042 half of the country will be minorities. These are just irrefutable facts. And by 2050 one in five will be foreign born. For most people, their political party is inherited in much the same way they inherit their religion. Here are the Bureau of the Census projections on what will be our future demographically.
An Older and More Diverse Nation by Midcentury
"• In 2050, the nation's population of children is expected to be 62 percent minority, up from 44 percent today. Thirty-nine percent are projected to be Hispanic (up from 22 percent in 2008), and 38 percent are projected to be single-race, non-Hispanic white (down from 56 percent in 2008).
• The percentage of the population in the "working ages" of 18 to 64 is projected to decline from 63 percent in 2008 to 57 percent in 2050.
• The working-age population is projected to become more than 50 percent minority in 2039 and be 55 percent minority in 2050 (up from 34 percent in 2008). Also in 2050, it is projected to be more than 30 percent Hispanic (up from 15 percent in 2008), 15 percent black (up from 13 percent in 2008) and 9.6 percent Asian (up from 5.3 percent in 2008.)"
The future of this country will become more and more dependent upon Hispanics and blacks who have out of wedlock birthrates of 50% and 71% respectively and the highest school drop out rates. Our competitiveness in the global economy will depend on this workforce.
Not just NOW, I always got that. I am living it here in Maryland where the voters JUST Tuesday approved public tuition breaks to illegals and gay marriage in two referendums, after massive LEGAL immigration here for a decade or so .
Dont jump to conclusions about people. Politely ask them what they are talking about and you will sometimes find your assumptions are wrong.
