Overall, by 2050 the U.S. population is projected to increase by 47 percent, from 296 million in 2005 to 438 million.

Maybe American women need to take a few lessons from Latino women in regards to rejecting birth control.

Made my contribution, but they are being raised "All American". It's scary how beautiful the kids are. My son's going to be old enough to date in a few years. Antonio Banderas' looks with an Engineer's analytical mind. Hide your daughters, they won't be able to help themselves...

The vast majority of Latino women in the U.S. are Americans.

Somebody better tell John McCain.

These videos are excellent. Pictures speak much louder than words. Mark Steyn's book America Alone is great on this subject too.

The real headline ought to be that 20% of Americans are projected to be foreign-born by 2050. That’d easily be a record. We have no problem competing for votes of the homegrown, but immigrants have always fallen towards the Democratic Party since the days of Jefferson.

Surprised many more blacks are not rigidly against more illegals because they tend to take away lower skilled jobs from blacks.

To me it’s becoming increasingly clear why this unabated invasion is being condoned by the federal government. With the aging baby boomers projecting to leave the work force in droves within the next decade or two it’s hoped that this massive influx of working age people will help offset the burden of an aging population. I have numerous problems with this supposition: first and foremost, when made legal, who is going to be working the jobs that pay less than what one would receive by going on public assistance? Second, with 20% of the population being foreign born you are looking at major assimilation problems. Three, and this is the kicker, when everyone becomes legal and can vote whose interests do you think they’ll be voting to protect? My point being that when the baby boomers become a minority at the voting booth you can kiss the days of wine and roses good-bye forever.

Mornin' Joe,

Around here the criminal illegal aliens are taking skilled jobs, too. I know several guys who do dry wall, masonry, and or carpentry work and all are talking about the jobs they are loosing to cheaper, illegal labor. The thing is, with the lower price, the quality is considerably lower, too.

I think there's a flash point coming with all of this in the not too distant future, especially as the construction industry slows.....these boys aren't taking kindly to labor from south of the border taking their jobs away......

I’m in SC and on Sunday I was in the local gas station convenience store that is normally filled with Mexicans. There is no other store for at least 5 miles. Not one Mexican came in or drove up to the pumps for the 5-10 minutes I was in there. The construction industry around here has almost stopped.

And Texas Governor Rick McPerry said just yesterday, "We Don't Need No Sticking Border Fence!"

The Texas governor is pimping out Texas and our National Security to cozy up with Mr. McAmensty himself in an attempt to secure a cabinet position of some sort.

How about U.S. truck drivers and how they feel about mexican trucks coming in to the U.S.
Surprised you haven’t seen a few mexican drivers run off roads and bridges.

LOL, at least that would be a way for us to be rid of him.
