    Google News - Immigration

    This morning I notice that the new immigration bill is no longer on the google news page. Its still there if you search on it though. Odd, I expected it to be there longer.

    There are articles on the minority population reaching 100 million. So now less then 2/3 of the population is paying for programs that benefit only 1/3. Of course the individual groups are stlil minorities but the will be even when the minorities are 1/2 the population, so I guess that they will still be able to justify the programs.

    You do have to wonder why they are still treated as a minority in those area's where they are the majority...

    The New York Times has an article on "New Demographic Racial Gap Emerges".

    Age White Hispanic Black Asian Other
    0 to 19 58% 20% 15% 4%
    20 to 39 61% 19% 13% 6%
    40 to 59 72% 11% 11% 4%
    60+ 80% 7% 9% 3%

    Article quote:

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

    Welcome, winzmomma,

    Could you please do us a favor and post the url for your article?

    Somehow it doesn't surprise me. The media has it's own spin.

    On my Google news page, I put illegal immigration as a selection. I seem to get more articles that way.

    Again, welcome to the fray!
