Latino baby boom changing demographics in California

Preschool teacher Sara Porras leans down to speak, first in English, then in Spanish, to one of the toddlers she cares for at the Parkway Child Development Center.

"Which one do you want?" Porras says to 2 1/2-year-old Alicia Molina Correa, holding up a game and a puzzle with children on it. "Cuál quieres, el juego o los niños?"

State demographers predict Latinos will be a majority of Californians by mid-century, but in preschool classrooms like Porras', the future is now.

For the first time in modern history, most of the babies being born in California are Latino, according to an analysis of state birth records through 2005 by the Mercury News. Population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau also show that for the first time in 2004 more than half of the children under age 5 in California are Latino.

2004 was the first full year when the number of babies born to Latina mothers nudged past 50 percent of the children born in California; it reached 51.5 percent in 2005. These newest Californians are the leading edge of a Latino demographic surge that will remake the state in unknown ways during the coming decades. But those changes, say demographers, will be driven primarily by the birth of native-born children - not by immigration.(clip)

This article does not give credit to the changing face of California due to illegal immigration. I wonder however that if we consider all of the illegal aliens that have long lived in California, the recent newcomers, and all of their families, their "anchor babies," and so forth, has this not truly come about from illegal immigration?

Where will California schools and hospitals be in the not too distant future as they struggle with language, the costs not reimbursed from services and benefits, and the never ending cycle of birth after birth of "anchor babies."

This article is an eye opener to what will occur or what is going to occur with unfettered and uncontrolled illegal immigration. Our nation, our communities cannot sustain this invasion.
