Thread: HISPANICS WILL TAKE OVER THE U.S.

I am an American of Hispanic descent, but I do not like this AT ALL. This is an old article but it's scary. Even if we stop illegal immigration, hispanics reproduce at a much faster rate (I hate to say it about my "own kind" but (MOD EDIT)) and the outlook is grim. Just in Stanislaus County in California, the latino population is expected to grow to 857,893 persons in 2030 compared to 451,190 in 2000, that's nearly double. Right now latinos make up 1/3 of that county's population, by the year 2030 it is expected to make up 60% of the population, but I think it will probably be more like 80%.

This is why we must fight illegal immigration with everything we've got. The government is not building that fence and illegal immigration continues.



A GROWING MINORITY

By Roberto Suro
A second-generation Hispanic-American, Roberto Suro is director of the Pew Hispanic Center, a Washington, DC-based research institute, and former foreign correspondent for Time magazine, the New York Times, and other publications. A leading authority on U.S. Hispanics, he is the author of Strangers Among Us: Latino Lives in a Changing America (199.

Think of a teenager who is growing fast, changing in appearance and forming a distinct identity all at once. That, roughly speaking, is where the Hispanic population of the U.S. finds itself today—in a kind of demographic adolescence. It is already an important member of the American family, but its ultimate character and impact are still to be determined.

The growth became stunningly apparent when the 2000 Census reported that the Hispanic or Latino (I use the terms interchangeably) population had grown to 35.3 million, a 58% jump from 1990, and the growth continues. The Census Bureau projects a Hispanic population of 47.8 million by the end of this decade. If that holds, the number of Latinos will grow nearly 6 times faster than the rest of the population.
Growth Around the Country

As it grows the Latino population is changing in character, starting with the places it calls home. For decades, Latinos have been concentrated in a handful of big cities, but they are now scattering across the country as well. In 2000, the greater metropolitan areas of Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Miami alone were home to 1 in 3 Latinos, but extraordinarily fast growth was occurring elsewhere in places where the Hispanic presence had been negligible. Between 1980 and 2000, Atlanta experienced a 995% increase in its Latino population. In Portland, OR, it grew by 437%, in Washington, DC, by 346%, and in Tulsa, OK, by 303%.

For the most part, these new destinations attracted Latinos, especially immigrants, because they offered jobs and affordable housing. Indeed, fast-paced economic development on a local level and rapid growth of the Latino population have gone hand-in-hand in places where Spanish was rarely heard a few decades ago. This trend has continued and may even have accelerated during the economic downturn of 2001-2002 and its aftermath. Hispanic population growth has become a national phenomenon affecting virtually every corner of the country.
Newcomers and Old-Timers

Nevertheless, Hispanics remain a relatively small share of the population. In 2000 they were about 13% of the total, and even with projections of rapid growth they will make up only 20% by 2030. It is not sheer size that determines the impact of the Hispanic population, but the fact that this segment of the population is growing so fast while the rest is growing hardly at all. To understand the dynamics of that growth and its significance, it is important to break down the Hispanic population into 3 key components:

The new immigrants: Although people from Latin America have come to the U.S. during other periods, an unprecedented wave of migration from Spanish-speaking lands has been underway since the 1960s, and it has gained considerable momentum since the early 1990s. Currently, the Census Bureau estimates that migration, both legal and unauthorized, adds nearly 700,000 Latinos to the population each year. Many factors help determine the size of that flow and whether it will continue at the same rate. But as a result of the influx thus far, the foreign-born constitute about 40% of the Hispanic population.

The second generation: Like most immigrants through history, new Hispanic immigrants have tended to be young adults of child-bearing age. Moreover, they have proved highly fertile, with birth rates almost twice as high as among non-Hispanic whites. As a result, there is now a huge second generation of Latinos—about 12.5 million people—that is very young, with a median age of about 13. They are the children of immigrants, but are full-fledged, native-born U.S. citizens. They now make up about 30% of the Hispanic population, and are the fastest-growing component.

The old stock: Many Latinos lived in the U.S. before the current era of immigration began, and many trace their ancestry to families that lived in places like Texas, California, and Puerto Rico before those lands became part of the U.S. This component accounts for about 30%.

For the past 3 decades or so, the new immigrants have transformed urban neighborhoods, spurred the rise of Spanish-language media, and prompted periodic, sometimes heated, debates on immigration policy. Like many other immigrants, the Latino newcomers have not simply broken off ties with their home countries, but instead share their earnings with families left behind. The individual amounts are small, averaging about $300, but they are sent faithfully by a sizeable share of the immigrant population. These so-called remittances, totaling around $30 billion a year, have become an important factor in the economies of many Latin American nations. Meanwhile, in the U.S. the steady, growing supply of Latino immigrant workers has become a mainstay of several industries, such as construction and food processing. But even as the immigrant influx continues, the impact of Latino population growth is changing because the very makeup of that population is changing.
Second-Generation Hispanics

The second generation is the demographic echo of all that immigration, and it is a booming echo. Between 2000 and 2030 it will grow by about 17.7 million. Over the next 25 years or so, the number of second-generation Latinos in U.S. schools will double and the number in the labor force will triple. Nearly one-fourth of all labor force growth will be from children of Latino immigrants. The flow of newcomers from abroad is likely to continue, but even so the effect of Latino population growth is now shifting. Over the next several decades, the largest impact is going to be felt first in the nation's schools and then in the economy, as this unique group of Americans comes of age.

Latinos of the second generation differ markedly from their immigrant parents in several ways. They are not only native-born U.S. citizens but also native-born English speakers. While nearly three-quarters of the adults in the immigrant generation predominately speak Spanish, all but a small fraction of the second generation have mastered English. Moreover, the second generation is getting much more education than the immigrant generation, with almost twice as large a share going to college. Nonetheless, children of Latino immigrants lag behind non-Hispanic youth in every measure of educational achievement. And, they are different from other Americans, even other Hispanics, who are farther removed from the immigrant experience. Nearly half of second-generation Hispanics are bilingual, and many retain a degree of identification with their parents' home countries.

Their influence will be greatly magnified by an extraordinary historical coincidence: They will be moving into the workforce just as the huge Baby Boom generation of non-Hispanics is moving out. Moreover, the Baby Boom did not produce a lot of children to take its place. According to Census Bureau projections, in 2004 there were 44 million non-Hispanics between 40 and 50, boomers heading toward retirement, but only 35 million who were 10 or younger to replace them. The gap will be filled by some 9 million Latinos 10 or younger. Latinos, especially the children of immigrants, will play key roles supplying the labor market and then supporting a very large elderly population.

So what will this generation be like when it grows up? In 2003 the Census Bureau made it official that the Latino population had surpassed African Americans to become the nation's largest minority group. Currently, Latinos have many of the characteristics associated with minority group status, such as more poverty and less education than the national average. But will Hispanics be a minority group in the traditional sense 20 or 30 years from now? Or, will they follow the course of other immigrants' offspring, who went through the melting pot experience and emerged into the middle class? Much will depend on how they fare in the schools and then in the workplace. Given their numbers, the whole nation has a stake in the outcome.

I can see it now, a majority that still receives affirmative action and preferential hiring programs. A majority that discriminates against non-spanish speaking, non hispanics/latinos (which is already happening).

Here's what some hispanic/latino leaders/politicians have said about this:

José Angel Gutiérrez is an attorney and professor at the University of Texas at Arlington in the United States. He was a founding member of the Mexican American Youth Organization (MAYO) in San Antonio in 1967, and a founding member and past president of the Raza Unida Party a Mexican-American third party movement that supported candidates for elective office in Texas, California, and other areas of the Southwestern and Midwestern United States.

There still remains some debate about the actual words Gutierrez used in his famous "kill the Gringo" speech of April 10 or 11, 1969 in San Antonio when he was head of the Mexican American Youth Organization (MAYO). In his speech which was mainly about Mexican American civil rights (these are U.S. citizens of Mexican ancestry) he said:

"We realize that the effects of cultural genocide takes many forms—some Mexicanos will become psychologically castrated, others will become demagogues and gringos as well and others will come together, resist and eliminate the gringo. We will be the latter.â€

Words from a racist pig. La Raza is as bad as the KKK.

Words from yet another racist pig.

Just think of our and our childrens future knowing the maniacs who believe this reconquista/aztlan insanity are raising their children to think this way.

I am a bit perplexed- why all the sudden are the razaists acting like America has never had hispanics before?
Never mind,I just realized- the razaists earn a living instilling hate and keeping it alive.




Head 'em up,move 'em out Rawhide!

Think about Israel and the Palestinians.

The latinos who are reproducing at these rapid rates are the illegal aliens and their offspring.

They are not and will never be American. They don't want to assimilate, they want to takeover. They are into the la raza way of life and their goal is aztlan, not America.

We’re here today to show L.A., show the minority people here, the Anglo-Saxons, that we are here, the majority, we're here to stay. We do the work in this city, we take care of the spoiled brat children, we clean their offices, we pick the food, we do the manufacturing in the factories of L.A., we are the majority here and we are not going to be pushed around. We're here in Westwood, this is the fourth time we've been here in the last two months, to show white Anglo-Saxon Protestant L.A., the few of you who remain, that we are the majority, and we claim this land as ours, it's always been ours, and we're still here, and none of the talk about deporting. If anyone's going to be deported it's going to be you! Go back to Simi Valley, you skunks! Go back to Woodland Hills! Go back to Boston! To back to the Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You're old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you, leave like beaten rats. You old white people, it is your duty to die. Even their own ethicists say that they should die, that they have a duty to die. They're taking up too much space, too much air. We are the majority in L.A. There's over seven million Mexicans in L.A. County alone. We are the majority. And you're going to see every day more and more of it, as we manifest as our young people grow up, graduate from high school, go on to college and start taking over this society. The vast majority of our people are under the age of 15 years old. Right now we're already controlling those elections, whether it's by violence or nonviolence. Through love of having children we're going to take over." Other demonstrators: "Raza fuerza (brown race power), this is Aztlan, this is Mexico. They're the pilgrims on our land. Go back to the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria."

I first heard of this plan in either the late 80's or early 90's. When I first heard it, I laughed. Now I am just plain scared they will succeed. We need to get politicians into office who put America first.

The illegals are reproducing at rapid rates to take over and are expecting us to be generous and support them forever but the money will run out or we will get tired of the takers and say no more. We are only having children we can pay for and take care of ourselves. The illegals and their anchor babies are going to be very, very jealous because we will always have more. This will cause trouble in the future.

"Love of children"? LOL! Having more children than you can afford to care for is not love of children. They are mostly Catholics and aren't allowed to use real birth control and that is how the pregnancies occur, not out of love of children. Now they have realized that they can use these hords of children to takeover our country so it ends up being a ways to a means for them.
