"Help, help, I'm being oppressed." :P
"Massachusetts’s whites are failing to replace themselves, averaging only 1.6 babies per woman, and the state’s liberal Democrats are probably reproducing even less than that. "
One has to assume that's because lesbians and gays don't typically have a lot of kids.
I hope the GoP and Pres. Bush realize that the hispanic vote (and plenty of illegals voted, don't think they didn't- 8 of the 9/11 hijackers were registered to vote according to Rep. Hayworth) did not win this election, poor whites did.
From an earlier post:
I live in Northern California and I can tell you that his analysis of the difference in what happened between Northern and Southern California is quite accurate. It is still happening: in Santa Cruz county, the citizens just voted down a measure to widen Highway 1, which would help mitigate the massive jams we have now.
Why? Because they rightly perceive that improving the infrastructure will only invite more people to move here, regardless of race or nationality, and the problem will only return. So they figure that they'll live with the current catastrophe, and not give it a chance to get worse.
I disagree: I think if the immigration laws had been enforced, we could widen our roads without having to worry that another million Mexicans will appear overnight to set up camp. It's their way of having their cake and eating it too: they don't overtly condemn Mexican illegal immigration, they just erect unseen barriers like lack of infrastructure, zoning density laws, housing permit requirements which are impossible to meet, etc. which drive up prices and make it difficult for unskilled laborers to move in. Sidenote: it won't work in the long run, because eventually, ethnic agitators and other Democrats will agitate for required low income housing in developments (as just happened in Sacramento County), or outright "public" housing projects to house the illegals (which is already the case in majority Mexican parts of Santa Cruz and Monterey County, i.e., Watsonville and Salinas).
He's simply pointing out that that in Los Angeles, it didn't happen that way. LA simply kept building out, with illegals congregating in the urban core and whites (and blacks, interestingly enough) simply moving to the periphery or out of state alltogether. And the theory is that LA did not have the same "no-growth" attitude, and what it looks like now is the result of that. It may not be the only reason (industries willing to hire unskilled, illegal alien workers being another, as you point out), but it certainly is one of the reasons, and a big one at that.
Oh no, quick call Kofi Annan!
This article is dead on the money. One of the best political analyses I've seen this year.
So I'm a liberal because I'm not a racist? Or is it because I'm not a Buchananite protectionist? You know, I'd have some interest in discussing the merits of the article with you - and it has its merits as well as its faults - if I thought you were capable of something more than name-calling, but you're clearly not. Take some advice from Dick Cheney and go f*** yourself, racist.
That line stuck out at me too. Why is it that many writers these days (on all sides) like to pepper their commentary with wild overstatements?
Honestly, the author lost a bit of cred with me with that line. And cred is something a writer can not afford to lose, you know?
What about hispanic and black babies. I hazard that the hispanic baby production is way way above white baby production.
So now you have delusions of grandeur? You're really channeling the Vice-President? How laughable.
Like I said, liberal, you're the only one who interpreted the article that way. And the reason is because you simply react to any mention of immigration or caucasians with the standard liberal theology, which is that both of those subjects cannot be discussed except under the two assumptions: Immigration good, caucasians bad.
That's the dominant leftist orthodoxy, and you're so deep in it, you ain't never coming back. Must've been that public school "education", right?
And the little swear words are sooooo scary. You musta made the keys bounce.

Shouldn't you be citing Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center when you're using their material?
Coleus,Bump.
A little anecdotal evideince: My wife and I are currently at 2.9 children (#3 is due any day now) and both of us voted for Bush.
Great graphic! Thanks!
I'm no liberal, and I agree with a lot of criticism of the black community that would get me in a heep of trouble with race baiters, but I'm pretty sure that articles from Vdare are banned on this site due to their attitudes on race.
You're welcome!
