California’s Demographic Revolution (More proof CA = Doomed)
City Journal ^ | February 13, 2012 | Heather MacDonald

Posted on 02/13/2012 7:58:15 AM PST by C19fan

California is in the middle of a far-reaching demographic shift: Hispanics, who already constitute a majority of the state’s schoolchildren, will be a majority of its workforce and of its population in a few decades. This is an even more momentous development than it seems. Unless Hispanics’ upward mobility improves, the state risks becoming more polarized economically and more reliant on a large government safety net. And as California goes, so goes the nation, whose own Hispanic population shift is just a generation or two behind.

D’Oh. Felt the heat emanating from the computer and realized I didn’t put sarcasm tag on. My bad. Friendly fire well deserved. I walked into it.

What percentage of Hispanics are Protestant and who exactly is an Hispanic? We do know that "Hispanics" voted 67%-31% for Obama in 2008 per Pew and CNN.

In 2010, Latinos cast 38 percent of their votes for Republicans in U.S. House races, compared with 60 percent for white non-Latinos (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2010/results/polls.main/#, accessed October 13, 2011). For the individual U.S. Senate races, Latino Republican support ranged as high as 55 percent for Marco Rubio in Florida, to the high-teens in the two New York contests. In California, Carly Fiorina won an estimated 29 percent of the Latino vote, and John McCain won 40 percent in Arizona. Even Sharon Angle, the Tea Party candidate who narrowly lost to Harry Reid, won 30 percent of the Hispanic vote in Nevada.

Governors’ races were largely consistent with the Senate contests. In Nevada, Hispanic Republican Brian Sandoval reportedly won 33 percent of the Latino vote, slightly better than Angle. In spite of supposed blow-back from her support for Arizona’s controversial new immigration law (Archibold 2010) Governor Jan Brewer won an estimated 28 percent of the Latino vote, not much less than the support received by Angle and Sandoval next door. Interestingly, Rick Perry in Texas did far better than Sandoval, winning an estimated 38 percent of the Latino vote against a Democrat, Bill White, who had made Hispanic support a cornerstone of his campaign. No exit polling results are available for the New Mexico governor’s race, in which Republican Susana Martinez won a 54-46 percent victory, but estimates of her Hispanic vote share according to late polling placed it in the 37-40 percent range (Haussamen 2010a, 2010b; Gomez 2010).

The 2010 elections were an electoral earthquake, overwhelmingly favorable to the Republican Party. Yet in spite of the most dramatic Republican victory since 1994, we observe no surge for Republicans among Latino voters. Even in the locations where the Republicans recruited strong, credible, winning Latino candidates, there was no tidal wave of Latino voters rushing to the Republican side. Comparisons across offices and campaigns show that the Sandoval and Martinez candidacies were good for only a few percentage points. Marco Rubio did better, but not vastly better by recent historical standards within Florida.

About 31% of Hispanic voters are Protestants.

Blah blah blah.

I’ve heard this globalist B.S. for a decade.

Your comments are also racist as well as globalist.

Funny your handle is ‘fiefdom’ because the globalists aim to recreate a feudal system for the world.

By 2020, white babies will be a minority in all of America. We are a generation behind California.

The largest percentage of Mexican-American enrollment in M.A. programs was in education—40 percent—despite (or perhaps because of) Mexican-Americans’ low test scores.

Just what's not needed. Where's Jaime Escalante when he's needed?

[ The poor Mexican immigrants who have fueled the transformatin—84% of the State’s Hispanics have Mexican origins—bring an admirable work ethic and respect for authority too often lacking in America’s native born population. ]

Those dang native-born Americans, so keen on things like individual freedom and independence, are too difficult to enslave so let’s import poor and uneducated non-Americans to be our worker bees and voters.

Perhaps we should just give CA back to Mexico then militarize the border to prevent the cancer from spreading.

Yet another bucket mouth, barking from the sidelines, who's decided to keep their own state anonymous.

Funny, no comment from you regarding militarizing the U.S. border with Mexico, yet you demand that happen to an American state, a state which happens to be the state with the largest economic engine in the U.S.

All while your Republican leaders like Bush, and Perry, from so-called conservative states like Texas, rolled out the red carpet for tens of millions of illegals, all while aiding and abetting this epic invasion at every turn. During war time no less.

Not enough??

More Muslims were allowed to enter the U.S. legally, under Bush *after* 911, than in the previous 2 decades.

Below is Dallas Texas in 2006, during wartime, under a Bush presidency, with Perry as it's Republican governor.

500,000 illegal alines and their supporters march on Dallas Texas, while waving foreign flags and making demands and threats while Bush celebrated Cinco de Mayo up in the White House.

Texas Governor perry, aiding and abetting racist, pro-illegal alien organizations like La Raza, lending them credibility and legitimacy by attending their conferences.

I say we put up an electrically charged fence around your home, and take your Internet connection away in an effort to prevent stupidity and ignorance from spreading. That way you can continue pretending your somehow isolated from these country killing, government sponsored, open border/immigration polices.

Bush Jr's wholesale importation of Islam to our homeland is one of the blackest marks of his failed presidency.

And what the ethnic Mexicans, legal and illegal, will do is a good question, one thing for certain is that it will not be to continue to stupidity of the liberal leftists.

I'm afraid you don't get it. Mexicans arrive here bathed, since birth, in hard-core socialism institutionalized by their 1919 revolution and the ascendancy of the PRI.

Furthermore, they are "culturally conservative". The practical meaning is, if grandfather and great-grandfather voted with the PRI, the great-grandchildren of today's immigrants can be counted on to vote for the most leftist politicians they can find. Even the Progs are weak tea, compared to what they're used to. That's the meaning of the social worker's quote in the article (see post #17 above):

“What Republicans mean by ‘family values’ and what Hispanics mean are two completely different things,” says John Echeveste, founder of the oldest Latino marketing firm in Southern California and a player in California Latino politics. “We are a very compassionate people; we care about other people and understand that government has a role to play in helping people.” (Emphasis supplied.)

That's what this guy is telling you. They're all hardcore socialist statists (all socialists are perforce statists; it's implicit), and importing masses of them because he knew that these people would vote overwhelmingly, generation after generation, for big-government New Deal Democrats was Lyndon Johnson's dark intention in the 1965 immigration bill.

This all has to be undone. It's an existential problem. Fail = no America.

Did you ever notice that most countries south of the Rio Grande are 3rd world hell-holes? Ever wonder why? There is a cultural mentality down there that isn’t going to change any time soon.

In 1969, my South American history prof put what she called "the $64,000 question of Latin American history" to us. Simply put, except for the Chilean Communist poet Pablo Neruda, who'd won one of the great literature prizes mostly for being Communist, Latin America was bereft of Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, inventors and great scientists. They had a society that, in 1900, was in many ways as advanced as Europe's, particularly the Big Three or "ABC" countries of Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. Then everything turned to crap ..... but either before or after, Latin America never produced the high-achieving individuals who proliferated in North America and Europe. The question was, "why"? It's still valid, despite the distribution of a few politically-motivated attaboys like Neruda's.

Anyone care to take a crack at this one?

But what people addressing the immigration question don't get is that, add a ton of very different people to the original stock, and you get a big mess, and probably a lot of social grief, on your hands. We've very likely bought ourselves a civil war.

(Your source quote) In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system.

Lyndon Johnson had his own reasons for breaking the dam on Mexican immigration, and he'd been at it since the early 1950's, when Pres. Eisenhower overcame LBJ's interference in the termination of the WW II bracero labor program (and repatriation of the overstaying Mexican nationals) by writing an Executive Order deporting the braceros.

Johnson's motive was to import a huge new solid-Democrat voting bloc who would nullify the Dixiecrats, Southern white Democrats who were being progressively alienated from the Democratic Party by its adhesion to the 90%-solid, straight-ticket bloc voting of urban Negroes, and its program to register millions of blacks across the South to the same end through the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

When he signed the Voting Rights Act, Johnson commented that he and the Democrats had just given up the White House for the next 20 years. The Immigration Act was to be his, and Ted Kennedy's, counter.

That's a pretty good short version.

I assume the entire Democrat party was on the same page about importing Democrat voters, 1964 was the last year that whites voted Republican, and I doubt that the change dropped out of the sky suddenly, without the DNC thinkers noticing a pattern before then.

With no JFK there would have not Kennedy empire or Johnson, or Vietnam, or the 1960s, it was the election which destroyed us.

With no Sam "Momo" Giancana to vote the Chicago graveyards, there'd have been no JFK.

With no homosexual J. Edgar Hoover in the Mob's pocket, there'd have been no Sam Giancana, or at least nobody with enough corrupt swing to steal the election.

It all flows downhill from that one fact.
