You are missing the point. Even if the illegals are not legalized, the "demographic shift" has been underway ever since the passage of the 1965 Immigration Act. We are seeing the impact now. Immigration drives 75% of our population growth. We bring in 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants a year compared to about 500,000 or less illegals if you believe the government figures.
Most Children Younger Than Age 1 are Minorities, Census Bureau Reports
"The U.S. Census Bureau today released a set of estimates showing that 50.4 percent of our nation's population younger than age 1 were minorities as of July 1, 2011. This is up from 49.5 percent from the 2010 Census taken April 1, 2010. A minority is anyone who is not single-race white and not Hispanic.
The population younger than age 5 was 49.7 percent minority in 2011, up from 49.0 percent in 2010. A population greater than 50 percent minority is considered “majority-minority.”
By 2019 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities. Every cohort that turns 18 is more minority and more Democrat. On the opposite end of the continuum, each cohort that dies off is more white and more Rep.
An amnesty just hastens the process, but even without one, the result will be the same. The U.S. is projected to become a majority-minority nation for the first time in 2043. While the non-Hispanic white population will remain the largest single group, no group will make up a majority.
I never claimed that the anchor-baby farce will be stopped, I merely stated that I believe it should be stopped.
Hope and change. If the Gang of 8 bill ever becomes law, we will add 33 million legal immigrants over the next decade, which is almost three times higher than the highest decade of immigration in our history--the decade ending in 2010.
