Just what is your point? I suspect that Pat would agree that it is wrong for employers to be hiring illegal immigrants from South of the border in preference to American Negroes who have been here for almost 400 years. That is pretty damn unfair, to say the least.
Of course, birth rates rise and fall. It is always a mistake to predict tomorrow's demographics purely from today's birth rates. Always!
I should not let pass your derogatory reference to American Negroes as "African Americans." That doesn't show a lot of respect for the many generations during which American Negroes have been here. It is also racially demeaning, in that it emphasizes ancient geography over blood lines. The term has been adopted by those who are trying to reduce us all into an undifferentiated ant hill. (It has the same insulting connotations as such terms as "Native Americans" in place of Indian or tribal identity, and "Appalachian" as a catch-all for people living anywhere in the Eastern Mountains of the United States.) These terms should be avoided by all who seek to improve relations between people based upon mutual respect and fair dealings.
