    I'm not going to pretend money paid to illegal immigrants isn't a problem - but the FBI reports about $1 billion in Medicare and Medicaid fraudulent billings from American companies for JUST wheelchairs every year ... I think there is far too much emphasis placed on the illegals front and far too little on the boys with briefcases. Florida's governor ran a company that was fined nearly $400 million for Medicaid and Medicare irregularities. Doubt too many individual illegals could match that number.

    Again - I think illegals are living rent free in the minds of too many conservatives on these boards.

    Is adding more Latinos driving other races down to zero?

    And both are threats to diversity. So what's your point?

    One still possesses some diversity and the other doesn't.

    Why isn't there anyone screaming about diversity in Watts?

    Hispanics make up 61.6% of the population, with blacks at 37.1%, non-Hispanic whites 0.5%, Asian 0.2%, and others 0.5%. Mexico and El Salvador were the most common places of birth for the 34% of the residents who were born abroad, an average percentage of foreign-born when compared with the city or county as a whole.[1]

    The question was...

    ..."The largest demographic in LA is latinos and the mayor thinks importing more of them is called diversity. Do you agree with him?"

    Answer the question WITH AN ANSWER, not a question.

    So what? That's a non point! Whiteness is still the problem that diversity is the solution to. No other race of people are considered problematic merely because of their numbers.

    Detroit Michigan is nearly 82% black. When was the last time you saw Detroit's lack of diversity attacked?

    You certainly didn't disagree with it. Thanks for the support.

    What? How can they access welfare if they're illegal?

    Are you sure you're not talking about immigrants?

    A while back I created a thread in the Political Beliefs sections asking the question What Good Is Diversity? That thread had about 300 posts and other than the food, there were no intelligent responses.

    When an area has too many whites that area is considered non diverse. When they move out they're racist. And if they move into a so called 'diverse' area then they're gentrifying it which is also racist.

    It is.

    But s/he will get away with it in this "crowd".

    Lib/progs almost always do.

    YOU, or any other Republican/Conservative do something like that and see what you get.

    No, they're specifically talking about illegals. To think otherwise one would have to believe the illegals come here and immediately find a job, housing, get their utilities turned on, pay taxes and buy Obamacare.

    Sorry. Diversity means less white males. If you can't see it, take your head out of the sand. No one says the NBA needs diversity. Care to guess why? Because a diverse NBA would include A LOT more white people and being diverse doesn't mean adding white people to minority dominated industries. The NFL said we need more diverse head coaches, more diverse QBs. The NEVER say we need more diverse running backs or Defensive Backs. Care to guess why? Who dominates certain positions historically? There are no plans to fix the black dominated positions...only the white dominated positions.

    The video game industry was accused of needing more diversity. The special effects and post production industry have similar demographics as well. What does more diversity mean? More females. Its a BIG deal. Same as the tech industry. Not enough female coders & CEOs. Remind me who stopped women from being computer geeks or starting tech companies and becoming their own CEOs like all the guys did? NOTHING stopped them, besides basic numbers. There are a lot more guys doing it and the guys are generally BETTER at all of it. Has Education, specially k-12, ever tried to tackle the problem of not enough male teachers? Oh, people have mentioned it, but there is no plan to really "fix" it, because its not really seen as a problem, beside maybe in the inner city where there is a lack of male role models. Who complains about too many female nurses?

    Go ahead, please SOMEONE, ANYONE dispute it.

    1.3 billion in two years?

    The CIPC report noted that “undocumented immigrants in California alone contribute about $130 billion of California’s GDP [Gross Domestic Product]—a figure greater than the entire GDP of the neighboring state of Nevada.

    So the CIPC brags now about using slave labor... What happened to a living wage?
