Census: Share of Children in U.S. at Record Low
Black America Web ^ | July 13, 2011 | Hope Yen

Posted on 07/13/2011 7:24:24 AM PDT by TheDingoAteMyBaby

Children now make up less of America's population than ever before, even with a boost from immigrant families.

And when this generation grows up, it will become a shrinking work force that will have to support the nation's expanding elderly population — even as the government strains to cut spending for health care, pensions and much else.

Thanks to the culture of death the playgrounds are empty. How many more future US citizens are going to be thrown into dumpsters like trash? I weep for this country.

Just look at what’s going in Europe. I hear in Russia, the government is paying couples to have kids.

To MNdude re: maybe we should bring in more African Muslims like Europe.

The problem is we need workers first and skilled workers second. These people are pretty much neither.

The playgrounds around here are sure not empty... full of little brown kids. Chock full of them... same problem as above... no skills and can’t get any.

The U.S. adds one international migrant (net) every 36 seconds. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 80 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest level in our history. And by 2050, one in 5 residents of the U.S. will be foreign-born.

Currently, 1.6 million legal and illegal immigrants settle in the country each year; 350,000 immigrants leave each year, resulting in net immigration of 1.25 million. Since 1970, the U.S. population has increased from 203 million to 310 million, i.e., over 100 million. In the next 40 years, the population will increase by 130 million. Three-quarters of the increase in our population since 1970 and the projected increase will be the result of immigration. The U.S., the world’s third most populous nation, has the highest annual rate of population growth of any developed country in the world, i.e., 0.977% (2010 estimate), principally due to immigration.

We can always take in more Somalis. They breed like rabbits and assimilate so well. /s

This is what happens when the acceptance of immorality is defined as progress.

The major problem is these immigrants are not coming here to work, they are coming for the entitlements. ALL the immigrants I deal with day after day pull out a foodstamp card for the food, then dig in their pockets and pull out a roll of cash that would choke a horse. Yet, the Gov does nothing.

While the US is busy aborting their children, the arabs and somalies and illegal mexicans are making up the difference.

The Japanese are also in the midst of a “demographic winter”, perhaps moreso than here in the U.S.A.

But the ENORMOUS difference between Japan vis-a-vis the United States is that Japan will survive as a nation, culture, and (I daresay) as a race (and yes, I _know_ that being “Japanese” is not a racial category).

The reason they will absolutely survive is because the Japanese essentially allow no one to “naturalize” and become “ersatz-Japanese”. They do not allow foreigners into their country EXCEPT to live as “foreigners”, and NOT as “Japanese”. In effect, it is all-but impossible to “immigrate” into Japan and become Japanese. They know who they are, and protect that.

Thus, they preserve their culture and demographic makeup — even with the presence of non-Japanese on Japanese soil.

Contrast that with the changing demographics of the United States, which has an immigration policy which is exactly 180 degrees the opposite of Japan’s.

We are told that within a few decades, Euro-descended Americans will fall into the minority, and America will become a “brown” nation.

We are told to believe that all the newcomers can be “just like us”, but are then forced to accept their differences and markedly non-Euro cultures in the name of “diversity”. Those who object are branded “xenophobes”, “anti-immigrant”, “racists”, what-have-you.

In the meantime, we see little evidence that the newcomers will in fact EVER become “just like us”.

Euro-Americans see what it happening, but are prevented from speaking out about it, or from even thinking clearly about such issues (although that seems to be changing, even right here on FR. Anyone who has been here since the end of the 1990’s can see that.).

And with the leftist degradation of the popular culture (again, anyone who speaks out against things like homosexual marriage is immediately labeled a “bigot” and “intolerant”), even a significant portion of Euro-Americans are losing that “cultural connection to the past” that preserves and maintains a nation and culture from one generation to the next.

Who was it who said that it can take centuries to build a culture, but only a generation or two to destroy it?

Just sayin’....

I would say one reason for Japanese homogeneity is because they aren’t an Evangelical culture. They don’t have a religion or language widely exported outside their own people.

“Euro-Americans see what it happening, but are prevented from speaking out about it..”

They see what is happening, and are accepting it. They don’t want to raise the children to preserve their heritage.
