SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) -- Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15) gives all Americans the chance to gain insight into the nation's largest minority. Ruben Navarrette Jr.: Hispanics aren't going anywhere. In many cases, we were in the United States first. You might as well give it a try. There are more than 44 million Hispanics in the United States, and the Census Bureau estimates that -- by 2050 --

Far more, if illegal aliens are counted. Perhaps 30-40 million more.
Why such naked aggression? 1) Because it's clear we're finally taking a stand and he's putting up his dukes, or 2) because he thinks Americans are on the ropes?
Answer: '2'
He knows deporting dozens of millions of people isn't going to happen, and also knows that the Hispanic birth rate outdistances all others by a country mile. That combo spells a permanent demographic shift. And since many Hispanics are reticent to give up their third-world ways and attitudes, the future doesn't look pretty..
America is not on the ropes, FRiend.
Yep. Every time I hear about our STEALING the Southwest from the Mexicans, my answer is always the same.
“So Monctezuma’s first language was Spanish, then?”
“By the way, the population of Arizona in 1900 was 122,931.”
I’ve read that at the time of the Mexican War, there were about 35,000 Anglos, a few thousand Apaches and Comanches, and 4,000 Mexicans living in what is now Texas. Mexico made all these claims to enormous areas in the West, but never really had many Mexicans living there.
I bet that population of 1900 Arizona was 80% Anglo. It’d be interesting to have those population figures for the entire area at the time of the Mexican War and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. In those days the land went to those who lived there, not those who claimed it from hundreds or thousands of miles away.
Whether you like it or not, even if we deported every illegal tomorrow, we are still going to have millions and millions of Latinos among us. Let's can it on the "culture war" crap and emphasize law enforcement/economic costs.
And even after we finally start enforcing our immigration laws, and you still thing there are "too many hispanics" in your area, may I suggest West Virginia, eastern North Dakota, or northern Maine?
Columns such as this certainly do not promote a favorable view of illegal immigrants. In fact it tends to make me want to see them FORCIBLY DEPORTED.
Canada!!
[Windsor, Ontario] Mayor Francis asks the feds for help to deal with influx of Mexicans
September 19, 2007
"When there is a possibility of adding thousands to the local social assistance system as a result of refugee claimants crossing the border into Windsor, we will become overwhelmed and our current resources will not suffice," Francis wrote in a letter sent Wednesday to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
"The fact someone wants to come here for better economic opportunity or a better quality of life ... that's no basis for a successful refugee claim," said Immigration Refugee Board (IRB) spokesman Charles Hawkins.
Jacquie Rumiel, director of programs for new Canadians at the YMCA, where refugee claimants are referred by Windsor's border guards, said the new people she's seeing are "mostly" Mexicans coming from Florida.
To be successful, refugee claimants must prove they are fleeing persecution at home, something most of the Mexicans arriving in Windsor would be hard-pressed to do. The IRB's Hawkins said there was only a 13 per cent acceptance rate of refugee claims filed by Mexican nationals during the first six months of the year, compared to an overall rate of 47 per cent.
SNIP
He is an educated racist who pretends he is somehow above it all.
So, heres the point. If they succeed in the Mexicanization of the US, where will we all go to escape Amexico??
The invasion must be stopped and stopped now. The illegals must be deported and sent back home. Im tired of subsidizing them and can no longer afford them."
I agree you have the right idea. Unfortunately, your description of the Mexicans coming here mirrors the Mass. Democrats spreading out into NH, hoping to escape the onerous taxes and liberal policies. All they've done is turn NH into a budding Mass., changing it into what they tried to escape. They can't be "deported" and returned to Mass., but we have every right to return the illegals to Mexico. Only if we don't hurry and close the border and deport them, they will do the same thing to America as is happening to NH.
Absolutely! In addition all this multicultural crap needs to stop it is part of what is destroying this country. We can not be all things to all people yet be strong and united.
So Monctezumas first language was Spanish, then?

Good line!
“There are more than 44 million Hispanics in the United States...”
We’re only concerned about the 20+ million illegals.
Take a chill pill there amigo.
Yeah, the question becomes: are they ‘our’ Hispanics or are they ‘their’ Hispanics? There’s NO middle ground.
Does this little Mexi-Klansman mean to tell us that he knows people whose families have been here five or six generations and they still don't speak English?
Throw them the #$%&@! out too.
Deportation is futile without a wall. (And even with a wall, there are always ladders and tunnels - four of which have been located in Arizone since June.)
Navarrette is an illegal loving shill, nothing he writes has any value.
Some pertinent data to this thread.
In 2006, 173,753 Mexicans obtained legal Permanent Resident Status in the United States. That is by far the most new legal residents from any nation on earth.

Additionally, 83,979 persons from Mexico became Naturalized American citizens in 2006. Again, that is by far the most from any nation on earth.

You are correct because there can be no middle ground when one is Legal, and the other is Illegal.
