CHARLOTTE, N.C. Democrats broke yet another barrier Wednesday when they invited an illegal immigrant young adult onto the stage at their nominating convention in Charlotte part of a historic Hispanic outreach program the party hopes will cement ties to the fast-growing ethnic voting bloc in the country.

The scary thing is that so little has been done to combat this problem in the last thirty years that we are essentially already condemned to becoming another third world hole in the next century. At this point enough of them have been able to breed large numbers of citizen children who in turn breed like rabbits. Future demographics are looking ugly.
