Texas demographer: 'It's basically over for Anglos'
Houston Chronicle ^ | 02/24/2011 | Gary Scharrer

Looking at population projections for Texas, demographer Steve Murdock concludes: "It's basically over for Anglos."

Two of every three Texas children are now non-Anglo and the trend line will become even more pronounced in the future, said Murdock, former U.S. Census Bureau director and now director of the Hobby Center for the Study of Texas at Rice University.

Today's Texas population can be divided into two groups, he said. One is an old and aging Anglo and the other is young and minority. Between 2000 and 2040, the state's public school enrollment will see a 15 percent decline in Anglo children while Hispanic children will make up a 213 percent increase, he said.

The state's largest county - Harris - will shed Anglos throughout the coming decades. By 2040, Harris County will have about 516, 000 fewer Anglos than lived in the Houston area in 2000, while the number of Hispanics will increase by 2.5 million during the same period, Murdock said. The projection assumes a net migration rate equal to one-half of 1990-2000.

Most of the state's population growth is natural, Murdock told the House Mexican American Legislative Caucus today. About 22 percent of the growth comes from people moving to Texas from other states.

About 6 percent of the state's population is not documented, he said.

By 2040, only 20 percent of the state's public school enrollment will be Anglo, he said. Last year, non-Hispanic white children made up 33.3 percent of the state's 4.8 million public school enrollment...

The state's future looks bleak assuming the current trend line does not change because education and income levels for Hispanics lag considerably behind Anglos, he said....

Anglo? I may be white, but I’m damn well not Anglo. I’m Celtic.

And the illegals in Texas are out producing you Celtic's 10-1...

In fact, at one hospital in Texas, illegal aliens are having about 1000 anchor babies per month...Your government is forcing you to pay for it....

Did I say every signal month, at just one Texas hospital?

I’m not saying that illegal Mexicans aren’t a problem, but as I said, I’m not Anglo or Anglo-Saxon aka English or German.

the worse it becomes in Europe, the more WASPS and Catholics will flee to America, thus disrupting the trends that rabblerousers love to predict.

Or vice versa ... mutatis mutandus ... ceteris paribus ... et cetera ...

What makes you so sure they'd flee here sooner than some people here would flee there?

It is generational.

A decent High School Education of the 1950's left those who made it through infinitely better informed than a great many of today's college graduates, as a simple chat with many 25-35-even 40 year-olds should amply demonstrate.

For example, in my substitute teaching "career," I meet young-ish foreign language teachers, with their teachers college certificates upon the wall, who could not coherently ask for a glass of water in France or Mexico. In ye olden days, any non-incarcerated high school junior certainly could, and in Germany too! And ye gods! The students. Tattooed, pierced, bare midriffs, and all, they still have, one can sense, the same native intelligence as we do, but totally out of connection with the civilization or culture of the West, coupled with a complete disdain for fact or logic. Yes, it is much better in "upper-class" districts ... thank goodness... and at least to some extent!

For me, the (fraudulent) election of the Martyr, St. JFK in 1960 signalled somehow the beginning of the end for the US as a constitutional republic. This is not retrospective. We said it and we wrote it at the time. We knew it! It was patently obvious as the triumph of incandescent bulshiite over reason and reality. At least the worthless SOB wasn't stupid enough to bankrupt us, (for which his own father would have shot him!) but he did inaugurate an era which continues to this day, in which the inmates are in charge of the insane asylum and the Men of the Civilized West (and the non-feminist Women) are completely devalued.

Wardaddy, if blame must be placed for this tragic turn of events, I can find the culprit in my own shaving mirror. We in my pre-WWII generation bought much less of the Kennedian bulshiite than most, but buy some we did, and we somehow went along with the rest to buy peace, above all with our newly militant women and with the children we created with them. We wimped. We ARE George H.W. Bush!

Now, how the hell do we get out of this with vicious Islam again at the Gates of Vienna, with the morally bankrupt leadership our own people have placed in power over all of us? McCain aside, (which is where this superannuated dolt should be), what else could possibly lead 53% of the public that votes, to cast their ballots for a Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., except a profound generational ignorance?

The Anglos, along with citizens of “Hispanic” ancestry that do not favor the open borders approach to immigration, have not yet mustered the will to put a stop to the alien invasion. I cannot remember a U. S. President that actually intended to secure our borders, with the possible exception of Reagan, who let himself be snookered by Ted Kennedy into accepting an amnesty in return for nothing.
Calvin Coolidge signed and enforced the Immigration Act of 1924. President Eisenhower enforced immigration laws, most famously with Operation Wetback.

I think you should be listening to CA conservatives. Because CA used to be a conservative state. If you don’t learn from the lessons of CA, Texas will be the same in 10-15 years. And once Texas is gone, good luck ever getting a conservative elected president.

Anglos Become Minority

Texas has become a non-white majority population, the U.S. Census Bureau said Thursday, a trend driven by a surging number of Hispanics moving to the state.

According to the population estimates based on the 2000 Census, about 50.2 percent of Texans are now minorities. In the 2000 Census, minorities made up about 47 percent of the population in the second-largest state.

Perhaps, but when we become a minority, in a land dominated by former-minorities who have long standing grievances against us, in a nation ruled with racist anti-White laws and conventions like affirmative action, job quotas, forced integration of formerly white institutions ... then to some extent it will be over for us to have decent lives. Now you can say, pray and hope that somehow the attitudes of all the minorities change between now and when that happens. But, realistically it doesn't look like that is going to happen. If anything minority attitudes towards whites are getting worse. There are many Dr. Wrights and La Raza groups out their raising the next generation to feel that the evil whites deserve punishment.

That time is coming sooner than many realize. That situation already has arrived in many cities and counties. We will be persecuted aliens in our our nation unless we fight -- in politics now, and soon in the streets.
Got ammo?

And remember that those fighting us are mean SOBs with lots of guns and ammo AND decades of street fighting experience.

Certainly, with all the immigration that the Golden State has received, it should be more conservative, right? Los Angeles should be one of the most conservative cities in America.

You're talking about a span of 20 years. I'm talking about 100 years. Neither of us will be here then, but I suspect the descendants of most of those Mexicans will be as Mexican as the Poles who came to Wisconsin in the 1880s are Polish.

Besides, this article is bogus anyway. Sure, "anglos" may make up only 1/3 of the public school enrollment, but I'll bet they make up 90% of the private school enrollment and nearly that much of homeschoolers.

Right.

Our experience to date tells us you are very naive or very stupid. What we are getting is Somalis, etc. And with the trouble in the Middle East, we'll get more of Mad Mo's insane issue, not less.

And when the Hispanics vastly outnumber those nasty white people, what then? Do they take everything and then figure out they can't keep on not working and stealing from them?

Do they then get 'colors' and having gang wars with each other?

Wealth is not the answer to the common man's problems. Wealth for them is transitory, subject to ill-bred habits and gullibility to politicans' promises. There are far too many examples of their future-to-be in the history of the countries from which they escape to live a better life. Ironically, at the cost of eventually erasing those that offer their only hope because of laziness and self-interest.

“Kids can’t vote.”

Not YET, they can’t.

But kids get older, of course.
And, eventually, they WILL be able to vote.

It doesn’t matter that “illegals can’t vote”. It doesn’t matter one whit. Nor does it matter if they EVER become naturalized or “amnesty’ed”.

What DOES matter is the fact that illegals are churning out throngs of brand new “citizens”, who within 20 years WILL have the power to vote and to change the political and cultural climate.

The almost unmentionable truth is that illegals will “self-naturalize” by a kind of default, through their offspring, which they have by the basketfuls (or, should I say, bassinet-fulls).

We are reaching the point where it makes no difference if we NEVER have an amnesty. It won’t matter. It’s simply too late.

The ONLY things that can prevent the coming demographic disaster (and the cultural and political disasters that accompany that tsunmai) would be:
- A forced removal of illegals from our soil
- The stripping of citizenship from the children of all illegals by Constitutional amendment (which would probably be impossible due to the Constitutional ban on ex-post-facto laws)

NEITHER of the above is ever going to happen.

Where does that leave us?
