If they want to fix the socio-economic gap, they could try learning english...

[My2Cents]

the gap between the white majority and Latinos is virtually unchanged

I have a thought. Try assimilating!

Hold on to your guns, your gold, your treasure, your family, your memories....Then pack up and leave to fallback country. I will try to hold them off as long as I can....

Try immigrating here legally and learn the english language.

It's always, always, somebody else's fault with this crowd. Their behavior, culture, lack of foresight, must never be questioned. They're just perfect people.

Get these wetbacks the hell out of our country.

[Mike Darancette]

They aspire to jobs that Americans do for wages that Americans won't work for and complain that they are economically disadvantaged? Does anyone see a disconnect here?

Do it like all other immigrants to this country have done. Come legally and assimilate one person at a time.

Every time they do this they lose support.

Let 'em make fools of themselves.

And Rep. Henry Bonilla is nowhere to be found. Yeah. That tells me all I need to know about their "agenda."
They don't speak for me. http://www.dontspeakforme.org

With strong anti-illegal invaders sentiments running high in this country, assimilation would naturally be curtailed. Let the Hispanics go back and enter this country legally, with the desire to leave the old country behind and become true Americans, then perhaps they would see these problems disappear. The very fact that they present themselves as a political force is troubling, just adding fuel to our resentment.

Their first problem may be making skin color and national origin a qualifier. So very racist. Tsk, tsk.

Non-Hispanic whites have not been in the majority in California since the late 1990s, and the Hispanic percentage of the population of the state will probably exceed that of the Anglos in the next decade. New Mexico already has an absolute Hispanic majority, and Texas recently ceased being a white majority state. Per current projections, Hispanics will be the largest single population group in these three states and Arizona by 2020. What is all this talk about Hispanics being a minority, other than the usual liberal whining?

[bpjam]

the gap will always be there since more than half of the people they are measuring are illiterate, uneducated and unskilled illegals being compared to high school and college educated US citizens who can go on-line and look for jobs. If you could take the illegals out of the picture, I would be surprised if there was much of a gap at all.
