THE ECONOMIST: Immigration has ushered in 'era of white decline'...Tu casa es mi casa
The Economist ^ | March 16, 2015

AMERICA is a country built by immigration, but nothing in its history compares to the rise in its Hispanic population. Changes to immigration law in the 1960s triggered a decades-long surge in arrivals, taking the Hispanic population from just 7m in 1970 to 57m today, a number that is set to double by mid-century. At that point one in four Americans will be of Latino descent. In relation to the population of the day, there have been proportionally larger surges in the past, notably involving European migrations in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Two factors make the rise of Hispanic America different. Never before has such a large group of new arrivals lived so close to their ancestral homelands, linked to grandparents in the same time zone by cheap flights and Skype. Secondly, America is entering an era of white decline. For almost two centuries, from the time of George Washington's presidency to the election of Ronald Reagan, whites of European descent made up at least 80% of the population. That share is below two-thirds now, and the white majority is set to become a minority by 2044...

And isn’t there a vicious Mexican gang named after the Fresno Bulldogs?

I watched a Netflix `documentary’ narrated by Edward James Almos (sp?) called the “Plastic People” or watched at least the first ten minutes, until I figured out it was a La Raza propaganda piece.
The cameraman even had the temerity to show as their downtrodden border people, gang members with the gang tattoos, `tear-drops’, webs on their hands and so forth.

Yeah, cheap lawn care, maids and pool cleaning by cowed illegals—that’s all great for those in gated communities who hire such things.
But those who have to live next door to their fierce criminal offspring pay the price.

What do you get when you reward bad behavior? Eventually a `purge’ in the places where the social compact has disintegrated.

True our south of the border friends have a proven track record of accepting generations of corrupt permanent rulers

And people in the U.S. simply have no idea just how corrupt those societies are.

The "police" there are nothing more then the dominant mafia.

We should all ask ourselves...is this what millions of men fought and died for?

Did they do it to pave the way for Greater Mexico?

I think this whole “white declime” problem would be easily solved if white people merely had more children.

I had a friend years ago, a Jewish girl, and she told me that as part of her pre-marriage counseling the Rabbi urged her and her husband to have at least 3 children. Two to replace themselves, of course, and one to try and regain some of the Jewish population that had been lost in the holocaust.

She mentioned this to me with pride and interest, not the revulsion that many of our generation might have done.

Full disclosure: I sort of failed at my own plan having had only one kid, but she has one now too. We are still short, but perhaps she’ll have another one or two.

“AMERICA is a country built by immigration,”

That statement is very deceptive. Every country on Earth has been seeded by MIGRATION. This country was built the old fashion way - the energy of people born here. The immigration angle has been exploited to change the country’s demographics, that’s all. It continually amazes me that people can be so easily brainwashed into oblivion.

We're replacing a dominant culture steeped in a tradition of independence and respect for individual liberty with one thats perfectly comfortable under a dictatorship - as long as there's food on the table.

What could go wrong.

I swear I don't know how people can be so g&^ d^#* stupid.

I have 3 children, but they keep saying they won’t have many children... They don’t fear for the future but I do.

It’s gotten so expensive to raise and educate children. Maybe whites are just being responsible and trying to avoid the government handouts that keep them in poverty. Many have as many babies as they want and don’t seem to worry about it. Everytime I go to Target I see young mothers with at least 4 or 5 children in tow.

Better double check. Supposedly, your actuarial life expectancy is 80 years old. We may all be around to experience the benefits of subversion by government. On the other side of the coin, there are developing nations who have different relationships with their people, and hence more of a future and more opportunity.

O’Bummer is merely doing what his trashy liberal predecessor Jorge Busho started.

Say what you like, but it’s abundantly clear that White America has made a deliberate choice to crawl on the floor while inviting everyone else to kick it in its collective nuts.

And, yes, it’s pretty much the same throughout Europe.

I always thought it amazingly hypocritical that Mexico has immigration laws that the strictest anti-immigration advocate in the US would love.
You can’t hire non-Mexicans unless proving no Mexican can do the job.
Immigrants can’t hold positions in the police, military, judges - ever.
No political actions by immigrants or visitors.
You have to have a job or proof of support, like a retiree.

And yet Mexico demands open borders for us.
