Are you aware that the White Populace in the U. S. school system is presently below 50%?
I'm really curious how you think the Hispanic slice of the pie is going to diminish.

Hispanic a phony term created in the 1970s to give some whites affirmative action and minority business set asides. Over 50% of Hispanics self-identify as white. The fact that we have the Census Bureau counting non-Hispanic whites is Leftist hogwash that uses identity politics to divide and conquer.
The Virginia Department of Minority Business defines a minority individual as “an individual who is a citizen of the United States or a non-citizen who is in full compliance with United States immigration law and who satisfies one or more of the following definitions:”
1.“African American” means a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Africa and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.
2. “Asian American” means a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands, including but not limited to Japan, China, Vietnam, Samoa, Laos, Cambodia, Taiwan, Northern Mariana, the Philippines, a U.S. territory of the Pacific, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.
3. “Hispanic American” means a person having origins in any of the Spanish-speaking peoples of Mexico, South or Central America, or the Caribbean Islands or other Spanish or Portuguese cultures and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part.
How absurd is this? The first thing we can do is reduce legal immigration and go to a merit based system, which will reduce the numbers we import from Latin America every year.
Secondly, I would push to eliminate affirmative action and minority business set asides pointing out that 87% of the legal immigrants who enter each year are minorities who benefit from unfair preferences based on race and ethnicity despite not suffering any of the grievamces they are based on. It is ludicrous.
If we can have some breathing space for assimilation by reducing the numbers and eliminating benefits that reinforce group identity, it won't matter what the make up is ethnically. However, there is a problem with poverty and dependence upon Big Government that will keep them in the Dem camp. Immigrants and minorities use welfare programs to a greater extent than the native born.
Are you aware that:
n 2010, 23 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) lived in poverty, compared to 13.5 percent of natives and their children. Immigrants and their children accounted for one-fourth of all persons in poverty.
The children of immigrants account for one-third of all children in poverty.
Among the top sending countries, poverty is highest for immigrants and their young children from Mexico (35 percent), Honduras (34 percent), and Guatemala (31 percent); and lowest for those from Germany (7 percent), India (6 percent), and the Philippines (6 percent).
