I feel we need to kick out as many illegals in this Country as possible and as soon as possible. And if an illegal mexican pops out an anchor baby, that baby is NOT a citizen of this Country. This is an invasion people! Why we arent doing anything about it is INSANE!!! You folks like getting your tax dollars robbed and eating tacos THAT much!?!?


WASHINGTON — In a surprising show of growth, Hispanics accounted for more than half of the U.S. population increase over the last decade, exceeding estimates in most states. Pulled by migration to the Sun Belt, America's population center edged westward on a historic path to leave the Midwest.
The Census Bureau on Thursday will release its first set of national-level findings from the 2010 count on race and migration, detailing a decade in which rapid minority growth, aging whites and increased suburbanization were the predominant story lines. Geographers estimate that the nation's population center will move southwest about 30 miles and be placed in or near the village of Plato in Texas County, Mo.
"There is excitement," said Brad Gentry, 48, of Houston, Mo., who publishes the weekly paper in Texas County, noting that the U.S. population center typically carries symbolic meaning as the nation's heartland. "It is putting a spotlight on a corner of the world that doesn't get much attention. Most residents are proud of our region and like the idea that others will learn our story through this recognition."

Racial and ethnic minorities are expected to make up an unprecedented 90 percent of the total U.S. growth since 2000, due to immigration and higher birth rates for Latinos. Currently the fastest growing group, Hispanics are on track to exceed 50 million, or roughly 1 in 6 Americans; among U.S. children, Hispanics are now roughly 1 in 4.

Oh, please! It will never happen. You never destroy your core base. It's kindergarten politics 101

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:
 
While agree there is a correlation with Illegal immigration form Mexico and the Growth of the Hispanic community there one shouldn't use say racist things about the people. All that's going to do is drive people away form cause GN. Am a Staunch Anti-Illegal Immigration does mean we should be racist toward them. Awhile I agree to Kandahar to a point that 1:6 Hispanic ratio is not necessarily A bad thing on term on race. It is if most of them are coming over Illegally. I have no problem with a Minority becoming the Majority ( am white everyone) as long it's done Legally. Let's face it folks there bound to be the passing of the flag between Majority and Minority in the Multi-Ethnic Country like America. One of the reasons that makes this country great.

: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 is being Hispanic tied to being an illegal immigrate? I get it, most illegal immigrants are Hispanics, got it. But simply telling me that 1 and 6 is Hispanic means nothing to me because there's nothing wrong with being Hispanic if you told me one and 6 people living in the US are illegal immigrants however I'd completely agree with you.

just because you are anti-illegal immigrant doesn't make you a racist. race has nothing to do with the fact, repeat fact, that they are in this country illegally.
 
among U.S. children, Hispanics are now roughly 1 in 4.

that's why my cousin stopped at 3 kids.
 
I wonder if those 1 in 6 will do for us what they did for Mexico. :roll:

Psst. Hispanics aren't all Mexican. Or immigrants, legal or not.

Instinctively equating Hispanic with illegal immigrant, on the other hand...

But just because someone is hispanic doesn't mean that they are an illegal immigrant. That's why the OP got labelled as racist.

Puerto Rico is a territory of the U.S. and it's full of Hispanics.

The report didn't say that one out of 6 people in the US were illegal aliens. It said one of of 6 AMERICANS is Hispanic, which means American citizens. You want to send American citizens to Mexico? And BTW, tacos were invented in California, not Mexico.

Hmm...I'm anti-illegal immigration but even I can tell that your reason for posting this was a racist one. It is people that agree with and say this type of thing that gives every other person that is anti-illegal immigration a bad name.

I think the racist comment came from the fact that Noodle assumes that when it said hispanic it meant illegal alien. The first post in this thread is certifiably one of the dumber things said around here.

Yet another fine example of an anti-illegal immigration person who is totally not racist. :roll:
Keep it up guys, you're on a roll.

Is it a problem that 1 in 6 Americans is Hispanic? I don't believe so. Illegal immigration is a problem, but it's not right to say all hispanics are illegals. They are equally American and are equally protected under our Constitution just like any other person of any other race that is an American citizen.
 
This thread has officially misused the term "racist"
Giant noodle never said he believed that Hispanics were inferior to his or another race.

What he did was jump to conclusions and assumed the majority of those people were illegal immigrants, which is dumb.

With respect, making such wrongful assumptions and generalizations is racist. Racism doesn't necessarily have to be about inferiority.

He made the presumption that a high population of Hispanics is inherently a bad thing, and there's no distinction between illegal Mexicans and Americans
