“passage would not influence America’s culture significantly”
Thanks for the very informative post. But don’t leave us hanging - what happened with that?
turning back the refugee ships was pretty horrible given the circumstances, under who’s definition would they not be refugees?

U.S. Census Bureau projections ...
1965 U.S. population was 87.8% white and 10.5% black.
2012 More U.S. babies were born to minorities than whites.
2012 - D.C., HI, CA, NM, and TX had minority populations >50%.
2012 - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) began issuing green cards (permanent legal resident) to same sex spouses.
2013 U.S. population is 63% white, 15% Hispanic, and 13% black. (a 24.8% decrease of whites over 48 years since the passage of the 1965 Hart-Celler Act). Jews make up ~ 1.75% of the population.
2013 - >45% of students in K-12 are minorities.
2013 Democrats in Congress are attempting to reform U.S. immigration law to provide a path to citizenship for a majority of the ~11-30 million illegal alien Hispanics believed to be in the U.S. If this happens, it will dramatically alter the USCB projections of the racial make-up of the U.S. population. Democrats are also working for a policy change that covers illegal alien homosexuals in the U.S. to provide them a path to full citizenship.
2013 40% of live births in the U.S. were out of wedlock. White rate = 33%, Hispanic rate = 50%, Black rate = 72%
2018 - U.S. Census Bureau projects the number of non-white children in grades K-12 will be >50%.
2020 - 8 more states (AZ, FL, GA, MD, MS, NV, NJ, and NY) are projected to become minority majority.
2024 - The white population is projected to peak at 200 million before entering a steady decline in absolute numbers.
2039 - Racial and ethnic minorities will make up a majority of the U.S. work-age population. They will be helping to support a disproportionately elderly white population through Social Security and other payroll taxes. More than 1 in 4 people ages 18-64 will be latino.
2043 Whites are projected to decline to <50% of the population. Racial and ethnic minorities will collectively become a U.S. majority. Hispanics will drive most of the minority growth, due mostly to high birth rates, jumping in share from 17 % (2013) to 26%.
