White students to no longer be majority at school[W:62]

Learn the difference between illegal immigrants and legal immigrants.

I do admit to the fact that I may have been wrong as to the graph though. Since we were talking about illegal immigration I assumed that he would post a relevant graph talking about illegal immigration. He apparently did not do such but instead posted a graph of legal immigration. I guess that accounts for the 2 some odd percent figure.

My bad for assuming that someone would be honest in their posting I guess.

You said that there were not 2% undocumented (illegal) workers in the Idaho. You are wrong both in the number and the percentage. Learn some facts about your state.

Perhaps you should learn instead.

Link ~ Idaho is ranked 35 on this list

19,000 illegal immigrants out of 12 million illegal immigrants across the country does not make up 2%. Do the math.
 
Make sure your chicken and burgers are fully cooked - you don't want a Bachmann surprise.

Ewwww! :eek: I hope she has hot dogs - they're already cooked, and just need to be charred a little to be edible - if you don't dwell on what may have gone into their making..... :shock:

I'm not real big on hotdogs, but it's all good when it's outside.

That's from the 2000 census, the one I linked is with data from the 2010 census, I even bolded the pertinent part. Try to keep up.

WRONG.





According to the Pew Research Center by 2050 non-Hispanic Whites will be a minority (47%) compared to all other racial and ethnic groups.

Believe whatever you want to believe.

Me, I believe that in about 30-years massive demographic change is going to hit the GOP like a tidal wave and the GOP, if it survives at all, will be reduced to a minor, regional party.

Wait and see.

That's almost four decades from now. You just cannot predict out that far with any sort of accuracy. So much can happen in those decades. The prediction is predicated upon a specious premise that things will proceed as they are going now. Not likely.
 
Did you miss the word "most" in my post, I never said "all" did I? You'll also note that the majority are in the southwestern states, with a few exceptions, even by that map, as I said. Besides, I think that map is slightly off anyways. Idaho only has 19,000 illegal immigrants. If that makes up 2% of 12 million then some thing is off.

Thanks for proving me right. ;)

Most means 50% plus 1. The map shows you're wrong about that. It also shows that 3 of the states with the highest % of illegal immigrants are not in the southwest. Of the states with the highest # of illegal immigrants, 8 of them are outside the Southwest

And Idaho has a population of approx 1.5 - 1.6 million

And while no one can say exactly how many illegal immigrants are in any one state (or all of them) the map seems to be consistent with other reports and estimates for the # in Idaho are above 30,000

The race and culture on top usually gets to set the direction things will go. If a bad culture assumes control there is reason for concern.

Is that a veiled code to suggest that "Black men don't know how to wield power, thus, they're inherently bound to set bad domestic policy from the White House?" Seems to me that would be a very bold assumption to reach particularly on U.S. immigration policies especially considering the very clear evidence that it is immigration policies of the past that has led to where we are today. Blame it on the Black guy in office if you wish, but history clearly shows that it's been White men who have signed every immigration law in this country since 1779.
 
:roll: Reading comprehension. Learn it.

Walk the talk

The 2.3% figure for Idaho is not the % of all undocumented immigrants in the US. It's the % representing how much of Idaho's population is comprised of undocumented immigrants

Learn the difference between illegal immigrants and legal immigrants. The chart I posted clearly states that it's about undocumented immigrants.

No, your bad is letting your mistake lead to thinking I was dishonest.
 
Perhaps you should explore the reasons Mexico sucks. The country didn't get completely ****ed up without the citizens help. Now those same people that ****ed up their country are coming here. What is the chances they will bring with them the same ideas that helped Mexico get in it's current state?

Actually, it's been a combination of bad domestic politics in Mexico coupled with the unintended consequences of NFTA that has Mexican citizens fleeing to the U.S. The Mexican people want better for their country, but high crime and corruption, and poor economic policies are forcing many of them to leave and risk crossing into the U.S. for a better way of life.

Just so we're clear, I'm for sending all illegal immigrants back to their country of origin, but the price tag to do so would greatly exceed the cost of just dealing with them under current immigration and national security laws.
 
The Patriot Act was written, passed, and signed into law by Republicans. All these anti-freedom documents that the Tea Party is so distressed about is passing by a landslide in a Republican controlled House. Both parties are equally terrible. The GOP may have some pretty rhetoric, but when it comes down to it they are no better than the Democrats they hate so much.

Yes, and the Patriot Act was kept and continues to be kept by Democrats. You and I can go tit for tat on anti-freedom documents by either party all day long. However, one side seems to embrace large government more than the other. Do you disagree?
 
Good afternoon NIMBY

Not to nit-pick, but do you think that map might have changed a bit since 2008? That is, after all, almost 6 years out of date.

I have since posted #'s from 2010. Not much change in those two years

If you have more current census #'s (which I doubt since the census is run every ten years) then post them

Like I said, wait and see.
 
So what is the overburdening in your opinion? Is the simple fact that whites are outnumbered in schools somehow evidence of overburdening?

Do you have proof of that Chinese POW operation or are you going to admit that you just pulled history out of your ass to make a talking point?

YES! That's how many White people see this issue - in dollars and cents, as well as national ownership of country.

During the Civil War era, there were deep seeded feeling of resentment for freeing the slaves. Many Whites then firmly believed that Blacks would be an economic burden on the very economy Whites made vibrant and strong. Similar sentiments existed during the Civil Rights era where many Whites believed that in giving Blacks an equal stake in this country's future they'd lead this country to plunder. In both cases, those who held such views have been proven to be wrong. Unfortunately, that hasn't stopped many Whites from believing the wrong-headed notion that billions of White taxpayer dollars have gone to pay for Black privilege since slavery was abolished. If you really cut threw the BS in many posts that discuss the illegal immigration issue, what you'd likely come away with is "It's happening all over again. We (Whites) will once again be paying for the privilege of another race of non-Whites to integrate into 'our' country." As if White people are the only ones who pay taxes or are affected by the immigration issue today. It impacts us all.

Anyone who eats any kind of sausage should never watch it being made.

Unless you're making it yourself, in which case it should be okay. It was when I made sausage from elk scraps back in the day.

Really, because hiring slaves to do all the work is equal to "the very economy whites made vibrant and strong?" I think you're confused. It's blacks, and orientals, that worked they're fingers, backs, and all part of their bodies to the bone while white men sat on their asses.

Immigrant labor made the economy and the infrastructure that made the economy vibrant and strong. How totally "white" of you to think otherwise.

More than race, many feel that their American culture will be effected, that the American traditions will be overwhelmed by the Latino culture and traditions. Mexico, for example, does not have an inspiring record in the equality under the law, traditions of a free press, or the human rights Americans are accustomed to.

Discouraging English to be taught in schools, for example, will have as much of a positive effect on the Latino people as Ebonics had on Black students.

I totally agree that if you're making sausage at home it's a darn good idea to watch what you're doing so that part of you doesn't end up in the sausage.

My immigrant grandparents on both sides worked their fingers to the bone - one side in a steel mill in NY the other in Volks slaughter house as butchers in the early 1900's. They were white immigrants from Eastern Europe, while my mothers side of the family was fleeing Hitler in Yugolavia where the Serbs took over, rounded up anyone who stayed, shot them by the dozens and buried them in mass graves. Making like only minorities of color worked in this country is a lie, and you don't know **** about it.
