The Changing Face of America

To all of you people who are horrified by this projection; you can blame me personally. Go for it. I am not afraid. My husband is Mexican, I am American born to American parents and grandparents. We buck the trends that are most often cited. I am educated and employed. My husband is employed and pays taxes, state and federal. We have 2 beautiful Hispanic children and we plan on many more and we waited until we were in our late 20's to have them. We do not rely on any type of assistance and we bear the financial burden alone. Everyone needs to wake up and understand that these predictions are grounded in fact. These children of immigrants are here, they ARE American citizens and that can never be taken away. You can send everyone back if you wish, but in 10, 20 years there will be an enormous backlash. Handle the problem now and treat these immigrants with dignity and respect and it will pay off. You can never imagine the poverty these people are trying to escape until you've experienced it for yourself. They are just trying to survive and the majority are good, hard working folks.

That's what happens when one race gets greedy and limits their family size to 1.5 kids so they can accumulate junk.and the other race values family and has a family size of 3.5 kids.

California, Arizona(though they are fighting back) Texas, Colorado, Florida looks like a third world, banana republic; little by little they are taking over this country. The United States will be unrecognizable in a few decades if we don't halt this horrible invasion. Barbarians destroyed Rome this way, now it is happening to us. My husband is a policeman in L.A. and we are trying to get out. The Mexicans are responsible for flooding this country with drugs, FBI records show that their gangs bring in 99 percent of all illegal drugs into this country. Why don't our elected representatives act and do something about this? Why do they just sit there and watch as our country slides into third-world status?

hehehe, I just laugh when I hear people say they're here for good reason. Look at what they did to southern California. lol

It's not a matter of being anti immigrants. Americans are anti ILLEGAL immigrants. Why is it so hard for LEGAL Hispanics to understand this? You might be paying taxes and you might only have two children, but the majority of babies born in places like CA are Hispanic babies. Walk around and you will see a Hispanic mom with 5 children who are all 1 year apart. So stop making this a racial issue. The facts are the facts. ILLEGALS should be DEPORTED, regardless of whether they are or are not Hispanic.

our governement and big business are the beneficiaries of the entire illegal immigrant situation.
God help this country... between most US towns and urban areas becoming Hispanic outposts, outsourcing US jobs overseas and China bailing out our banking institutions, America we hardly know ye.

THIS COUNTRY IS SAD AND NEEDS TO BE ASHAMED OF ITSELF THIS COUNTRY MAY HAVE BEEN FOUNDED BY IMMIGRANTS BUT LOOK AT THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES IN BEHAVIOR BACK THEN THE IMMIGRANTS HUDDLED TOGETHER TO MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING WITH THE PURPOSE OF MAKING THIS NATION GREAT THE NEW WAVE OF IMMIGRANTS DONT CARE ANYTHING ABOUT THE LAWS DONT WANT TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE AND BASICALLY LOOK AT AMERICAN BORN CITIZENS WHO HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAW EVERYDAY AND LAUGH AT US WHILE THEY SEND THEIR MONEY BACK TO MEXICO

Mexicans should be proactive and fix their government instead of just leaping fences.

If they never take the time to fix their government this mass migration of people will never stop. Which means, sooner or later they're going to mess(even more) up our government too.

I too, believe the Constitution should be changed. No anchor baby should be given automatic citizenship in America. The Constitution is not the bible, therefore it can be altered to fit the times. We are becoming the United States of Mexico and the Mexicans will be running this country in a generation if we don't do something.

Lol....too bad we didn't have blogs back when the europeans were coming across. I bet they said their glad not to be around when the white dominated the landscape.

Wow Lori, so let me get this straight, no hispanics means no gangs, crime & welfare. Hahaha, that's the funniest thing I've read, hahahah!

Oh hey white people, I hate to tell you this, but your 'white' government does care what you 'white' people think or say because they are only thinking how to make more green....that's all. I feel sorry for those who think this 'white' government is actually looking out for you. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!

Andy – Your observations are interesting. Put it this way. There are very few of us (Native Americans) who speak our native languages or practice our old religions or even know the ceremonies and customs. Some come to our traditional dances but don’t know the old songs or their meanings. Their kids know more about McDonald’s than they do kinichee or squirrel soup or even hominy. — Non-Indians celebrate Thanksgiving which was an Indian feast long before the Pilgrims got here. They eat foods that weren’t known in Europe a few centuries ago. They use words which have Indian origin without even knowing it. — Each culture will change from the close association however one will be dominate. The rise in Hispanic population will continue while the white population decreases. You tell me what will happen. ?Tu habla Espanole? We might all need to learn.

Its fascinating to see the prejudice espoused here. Not once did the article mention illegal immigrants, yet everyone is assuming it because they said Hispanics, not once did the article mention crimes, but everyone is worried about it, because they are talking about Hispanics. Get a grip people, we are Americans, they are talking about Americans. The greatest asset this country has is that it can change, if you don't like it then maybe you should go to Czechoslovakia. America will survive because of its diversity, whether its Spanish, English or Swahili. Get a grip and remember what this country is based on and that hispanics have been here since the country was born. They have fought in all our wars since the revolutionary war and have contributed greatly to our society.

Am I the only one who finds some irony in people complaining about too many Hispanics in places named Los Angeles (California), Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas?

ANOTHER THING THEY NEED TO DO IS GET RID OF THE OLD AND USELESS LAW THAT IF YOURE BORN ON AMERICAN SOIL THAT MAKES YOU AN AMERICAN,THERE SHOULD BE RESTRICTIONS TO THIS CONSIDERING IT DOESNT MAKE SINCE IF THE PARENTS ARE ILLEGAL!!! THERE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE HERE PERIOD!!!

You can only assimilate people who are welcome to a place. Give latinos the same opportunities and they will contribute as much or more to the nation than any other group before them. As for those racists who equaled latinos with gangs, violence, welfare and all of that, they should check the statistics. More white people live on welfare than of any other group. Italians (mafia), French (French Connection) and many other groups were also at one time and still now, being accused of violence and resistance to assimilation.

The very fabric of our country is at stake. The quality of life will be lower for all of us with the invasion of these kinds of people. I am voting for Huckabee now because I care about the furure of our country. Put the military on that border and do it now.

CHRISTOPHER, I agree they should make the law retroactive to March 21, 1621 (when the mayflower landed).

they can take back TX for all I care. lol...

My only concern is, if they're not willing to be proactive and fix their government now. This mass migration will keep happening until they screw us over.

oh, and for those you who hold the English language so high - about 40% of our English vocabulary comes from French. Language is a tool that changes to reflect the needs of its users.

If they are american citizens why should they fix another countries government. Read the article again, they are talking about AMERICAN CITIZENS. Its such a shame that people dont know how to read.
