New Demographic Racial Gap Emerges
By SAM ROBERTS

With the number of nonwhite Americans above 100 million for the first time, demographers are identifying an emerging racial generation gap.

That development may portend a nation split between an older, whiter electorate and a younger overall population that is more Hispanic, black and Asian and that presses sometimes competing agendas and priorities.

“The new demographic divide has broader implications for social programs and education spending for youth,â€

This speaks to an observation that I have which is that the average person waits to have children until they can afford to raise them with the same material comforts and qyuality of life they experienced. As the number of unskilled or lesser immigrants goes up the income of Americans working in the same occupations goes down. American workers end up waiting longer before they have their children.
Mean while their taxes subsidize the children of immigrants whose poverty was greater growing up and so have their children earlier. American taxes help to subsidize their replacement by immigrants and heir chldren as te population of the United States.
