New milestone: 1 in 6 Americans is Hispanic

If you lived in Southern Kalifornia or Arizona, you would not ask that question. You are nicely insulated from the deluge by the Pacific ocean. The U.S. will become a third world ****hole once the
Hispanic population becomes a majority. Thankfully, I won't live long enough to see it.

They were saying the same about the Irish way back when...it didn't deter the Kennedy's.
 
its just so god damn stupid that people even MENTION race regarding this topic. These people are destroying America and they are doing it ILLEGALLY. People that think Im racist because of that are flat out freakin ignorant with tiny little brains. You have been easily tricked.

For the record, the article in your OP is about Hispanics, not illegals.

American citizens are destroying America?
 
I'm against illegal immigration because it offers the government of Mexico an easy out. "We don't need to create jobs for our people, they can just go to the USA if they can't find work."

Nobody wants to be forced to move thousands of miles from their home to find a decent job. These people would rather have a good job near their family.

Gives the gov't of Mexico an easy out?? You think the gov't of Mexico WANTS massive emigration out of their country? lol

I don't think Mexico sees it that way. I am against illegal immigration because, by definition, those who come to the country illegally are criminals. If you can't respect our laws, I don't want you here.

However, lumping the vast majority of hispanics here legally with those here illegally is just stupid and insulting to those who are here legally.
 
For the record, the article in your OP is about Hispanics, not illegals.

Its based on Census data. That data was collected regardless if the they were here illegally or not. The govt said they can NOT take legal action on the illegal latinos. So the articles title is VERY misleading. Those statistics INCLUDED illegal hispanics. About 20 millions of those hispanics are here illegally and they are NOT Americans even though the author titled it as such. Why is this so ****ing difficult to understand!?! Hell my cats understand it.
 
The Mexican Govt printed MAPS on how to come to America ILLEGALLY!!! Mexican Government to Hand Out Arizona Maps to Migrants - U.S. & World - FOXNews.com

That's kind of because they know there is no way to stop those who want to cross the border no matter what. In which case it would be nice to not have people starve to death or die of thirst when crossing the desert.

Edit: Unless you are a country like India or China (maybe some other Asian nations) that is having an overpopulation issue, it makes absolutely NO SENSE for you to encourage mass emigration. For the state, the people are ultimately an asset, not a liability.

All I'm saying nothing in the article justified your rant against illegals in the OP. The article was about the Hispanic population, not the illegal population (except tangentially).

There are between 7 and 20 million illegal aliens in the US, with about half being from mexico, and 2/3 total if you include the rest of latin america. so that is about 5 to 14 million, call it roughly 10 million. There are about 52 million hispanics in the US. Good job on lumping about 42 million american citizens in with the illegals.
 
:roll: Seriously? Large scale legal immigration and high population growth, and you jump to illegal immigration as though it'll make a difference? :lol: BUt why is a large Hispanic population a bad thing?

Why I'll tell you why. The majority of hispanics vote Demoncrat, those that do vote anyway.

In that case it's the Republicans' fault for not doing a better job of trying to capture the Hispanic vote, not the fault of Hispanics for being here.

I think you're right.
Economic costs of mass immigration (legal and illegal immigration) - CAIR - Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform


"In the NAFTA era, a staggering 87 percent of Mexico's imports go to the United States, while Mexicans living in the United States send home more than $8 billion annually. Fox has said he considers his constituency to include the 22 million to 24 million Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the United States. Mexican candidates now make campaign stops in U.S. cities like Los Angeles, Phoenix and Fresno, Calif." (Mexico's muddle, Ruben Navarrette Jr., March 26, 2003)


It's an interesting article at link.
 
How fitting that you went on an anti-illegal immigrant tirade as a result of an article called "1 in 6 Americans is Hispanic" as though that were such a horrible thing. But I'm sure that anti-illegal immigrants will continue to swear that they aren't racist even as they post **** like this. :roll:

Wanting law breakers deported is not racist

Get rid of the illegals and you no longer have a large percentage of Hispanics

There is a way but they want the US to take their poor

Why do you assume he was talking about the legal Hispanics in America? Why do you assume racism is always a factor in every discussion?
The outrage of 1/6 american are Hispanic is showing how the census statistics of illegal Hispanics is extremely high. Because the Census statistic's group the two groups together, NOT the OP. Naturally, when the total Hispanic population increases the total illegal population increased as well. It doesn't take a genius to decipher this from the information.

According to the CIA world fact book, using asset-based poverty as a standard, 47% of Mexicans live below the poverty line. A ****ty Mexico doesn't do the Mexican government or the Mexican people any good in the long run.

So they send their undesirables to the US

:slapme: Dude. DUUUUUDE!!!!! For the THIRD time. The stats INCLUDED the illegal latinos!!! The idiot author lumped the legal and illegals and called all of them Americans. And where in the hell you think all these people came from? Unless the mothers are poppin' out 200 kids each they are getting the numbers from the 20+ million ILLEGAL latinos here

Yeah, I realized that. Even if you take out illegals, Hispanics are still the fastest-growing minority due to legal immigration and a higher-than-average birthrate. And, yes, the illegals are not American citizens, but for the purposes of a census they on are American soil and thus are included in the census statistics.
