    I think is depends on what the gov't policies are.

    no govt policy will change the fact that its easier to walk here than travel here from another continent.

    Oh, the nation is unable to resist the tide.......woe to us!

    LOL!

    You seem to want to write gov't policy out of the equation, but that's not going to fly.

    You are all over the place. First, we can stop the walkers, and now we captured all these current Hispanics in CA over a hundred years ago. LOL!!!

    The majority of the western hemisphere are people of mixed-race decent. The only reason the U.S. isn't that way is because of a massive wave of European immigration from the 1850s to the 1940s. That has subsided, and now you're seeing a rise in Hispanic and Asian immigration. Eventually the country is going to mirror the populations of Latin America, except with an Anglo culture with a stronger Eastern and Southern Asian influence as opposed to a Latin one with a stronger Indigenous influence.

    Awesome. And I"m going to go out on a limb and say the education system is good, crime is minimal, and taxes are low. Sounds like a pretty good state.

    it was only a matter of time....

    we can just start counting mexicans as white the way we did when we realized half the white people in the midwest were part indian.

    Its natural because there's no public policy influencing the demographic change. Its simply people doing what people do.

    Of course it does. However, immigration rates is only part of the reason you're seeing the demographic shift.

    People!

    Every western country has a "quota" of certain nationalities they are scheduled to allow through immigration each year.

    You best find a way to deal with this.

    Actually, obscene government 'assistance' for having litters of kids out of wedlock certainly seems to have increased the minority population.

    Are you afraid of a little political incorrectness?

    FOTM is, Iowa does not represent the rest of America. It's too white and its cheerleaders are too fat.

    "LITTERS OF KIDS"?
    How metaphorical of you.

    The white population of this planet is eventually doomed.

    I used to live in Iowa.

    Although 'too' white is a matter of personal opinion! It's white alright.

    Nice place to live.

    But personally, I prefer FAR more of a melting pot.


    I've said it before...I can't wait until the world is one big melting pot, everyone is a 'mutt' and all this race crap goes the way of the dodo.

    I am a WASP, btw.

    She's a freaking professional news caster, are you telling us she doesn't know how to say what she means? I always knew liberal standards were low, but I always assumed there were at least bare minimum standards somewhere.... Guess I was wrong.

    These two statements are at odds with each other.

    Except that the fastest growing sectors of demographic growth are Asians and Mixed Race Americans. Both of those groups have high median incomes, and a high legitimacy rate.

    The African American population, which has a high rate of illegitimacy (single parent households), has stalled. It hasn't grown much in the past 20 years.

    Who sets the quota? Perhaps, the voters should take a closer look?
