A third of immigrants have not graduated from high school and 60 percent do not speak English fluently, the Migration Policy Institute found. These immigrants make up half the Los Angeles workforce. It said this left immigrants ill-equipped to fill California's fastest-growing occupations. The organization said that as the so-called baby boomers reach retirement age, a similar pattern will spread across the U.S. Ernesto Cortes, of the Industrial Area Foundation, a think-tank that specializes on social change said "The question is are we going to be a 21st century city or a Third World city with an elite group on top and most of the city on near poverty wages?" The U.S. Census Bureau last year predicted that by 2050, minorities will account for half the residents across America. In 2000, according to the Census Bureau, whites were in a minority in 262 counties, up from 183 in 1990. Nationally, the number of minorities topped 100 million for the first time in 2006.

Then I guess they won't be called "Minories' anymore, will they.
Only white people will be a minority. Are now from what I see.

Sorry, I need more caffeine.

That’s right. One of my favorite comments was made by the late Bill Buckley when he was asked whether the enormous costs of teaching bilingual education could be justified. He replied only if one wants to produce more students who are “semi-literate in two languages.”
We ARE becoming more like a Third World Mexico because a “reconquista” is taking place - and not just in the border states but everywhere, even in suburban and rural areas that until recently didn’t even know what an illegal alien was. For example, we can all witness the fact that we’re now a de facto bilingual society. Spanish is everywhere - advertisements, public schools, newspapers, retail stores, public safety/emergency announcements, gov’t. websites, etc., etc.
I think you’re absolutely right about the ‘65 immigration law and our (suicidal) failure to secure our borders. In regard to the article, I can only guess that since they just wanted to focus on L.A. they limited themselves to that. After all, volumes could be written about the subject in general.
Good point. Ed Meese, who was part of that, says that because state and local authorities never upheld their part of the deal - enforcement - it failed. I think the lesson we should have learned from that is that we must SECURE the border first before there are any discussions about citizenship, etc. By the way, Ed Meese says that now and opposes any kind of disguised “amnesty” plans by Congress.
Jalopeno flavor!
You’re right about that. Just a personal anecdote: I had occasion to live in Miami and the first and second generations of Cubans who came over learned English (or made certain their children did) and were very productive people who were successful in the business and professional world. Our Sen. Mel Martinez (R) is a good example. But that all changed when Castro emptied his prisons and sent all his degenerates and mentally deranged people here. Remember that imbecile Jimmy Carter welcoming the mariolitas to our shores?
They have figured out how to increase revenue as well as import more Mexicans. Home owners now have to fix their own sidewalks.
They are thinking of kicking soccer Mom’s and Mexican gardeners out of the carpool lanes and turning those lanes into toll lanes for the rich. A dollar per mile.
They are going to increase the number of street cleaning days so that they can tow more cars and have more income from tickets.
They are going to increase the parking meters to $4.00 an hour.
They are going to tax us on our phone bills $2.25 a month for 911 calls.
They just misled voters into voting for a 9 percent phone tax by withholding the fact that the current 10 percent tax was illegal.
We have to place our kids in private schools as well as pay for the public immigrant schools.
And this from the Daily News;
Next week the City Council is set to vote on subsidies for Grand Avenue development, which include letting the developers keep the first $60 million they raise through the hotel bed tax - a subsidy so overly generous it prompted another downtown hotel to file a lawsuit, which was recently settled.
The redevelopment project would also get to keep $5.5 million in parking taxes as well as $24 million from the Community Redevelopment Agency, $29 million in improvements paid for by local government and $4.6 million from the county.
That’s an outrageous giveaway to rich developers and operators of luxury hotels and retail shops when working Angelenos are being forced to pay higher fees just to cover basic city services.
What is the name of the N.Y. Times best-seller you quoted from, T.L.? Thanks!
I totally agree. American citizens have become the victims of the ethnocentric lobby, the special business interests (U.S. Chamber of Commerce, etc.) who love low wages with no benefits, better yet, ‘off the books,’ and politicians who pander to the Hispanic vote. They don’t give a damn about us citizens who have to pay the bills and live with the mess they’ve created. And you’re right - all three presidential contenders promise us more of the same.
I hope the conservatives in Mexifornia close shop and move out. After that I hope the whole state turns into a violent, 3rd world, socialist cesspool that demands the rest of the US support it. Only then will people wake up. We can either wall it off or take it back, your choice.
The book is “State of Emergency - The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America,” by Pat Buchanan. Let me hastily say that I don’t agree with some of Pat’s political views but his book was very well researched and documented. Even his harshest critics admit that. In other words, it’s as factual and objective as one can expect. I recommend you read it and decide for yourself. Regards,
I hope I’m wrong but I think we’re approaching the point of no return. It isn’t any SINGLE problem but a whole series of problems on the liberal/socialist agenda which - in the aggregate - are destroying us. I think it was Justice Renhquist who said that every day he woke up he found it more and more difficult to recognize his own nation.
Where I work I am a minority because of H1B visas. They and green card holders make up seriously 90% of the company. When shopping I feel like I’m in Mexico. I don’t see America anywhere except my own backyard. Sad.
It’s a topic that hasn’t been brought up by Congress, but can’t we give California back to Mexico?
Tourism in California would still continue. Perhaps the attraction to emmigrating to California (an entitlement mentality - too many people going there looking for the proverbial something for nothing) may evaporate once California is no longer subsidized by the American taxpayer.
Of course, anytime a state offers “free” goodies paid for by someone else it’s going to attract a lot of leaches.
What you guys think of that idea?
States succeeding from the Union is a good idea and it’s Constitutionally valid.
California could succeed from the Union and become an independent republic or it could “join” Mexico.

Wow! You’re posing quite a question. I don’t know the answer but my conjecture would be this: The people of Mississipi, despite long historical economic problems, are generally an independent and can-do people who take pride in self-reliance and not looking to lean on the government for solutions. This was evident when Hurricane Katrina devasted the Gulf region. We saw the city of New Orleans - a Democratic bastion forever which is lost without government nursing and support - totally unable to take the initiative. This wasn’t just because of the population density and the breaking of the levees. It was because the city and its populace were completely imbued with a welfare, dependent mentality that was unable and unwilling to take the initiative and fend for itself. Of course, there were notable exceptions. But, on the whole, New Orleans was a basket case compared to Mississippi and Gov. Haley Barbour. I think L.A. is more like New Orleans to the extent it’s got the helpless welfare mentality.
LA is now where they will let an illegal alien gang member out of jail four times to the streets of LA (no call to immigration) and he will kill your child on the street the day after the fourth release.
LA where the mayor will come to the scene of the crime and give a speech about how we have to do something about gang violence; like set up another bureaucrat in the mayor's office.
LA where the police are not allowed to identify illegals on the street.
LA where schools now have classes in Graffiti Art. LA where you can't read some highway signs because they are obliterated with graffiti.
Hey! We're all Angelinos donchano?
I think whites are now America’s largest minority group! Or maybe a PLURALITY group. Anyway, I’m waiting for the moment I can assert affirmative action status and get some of my money back! What a world!
