Lots of impoverished hispanics and Pueblo (Native American) residents, dependent on Govt. Also a large artsy/LGBT crowd.
Demographics is Destiny, they say. So, I guess New Mexico is yet another proof-point for that.
Only 2 million people in the whole state. (Biden has let that many illegals in since his election).
Here are the Census demographics on the State:
| PEOPLE | |
| Population | |
| Population, Census, April 1, 2020 | 2,117,522 |
| Population, Census, April 1, 2010 | 2,059,179 |
| Population, percent change - April 1, 2010 (estimates base) to July 1, 2019 | 1.8% |
| Race and Hispanic Origin | |
| White alone, percent | 81.9% |
| Black or African American alone, percent | 2.6% |
| American Indian and Alaska Native alone, percent | 11.0% |
| Asian alone, percent | 1.8% |
| Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, percent | 0.2% |
| Two or More Races, percent | 2.6% |
| Hispanic or Latino, percent | 49.3% |
| White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, percent | 36.8% |
WOW! Is it the only state, other than Hawaii where white people are a minority already?
It seems like a nice place, I've visited, but I don't see much of a future for freedom in a place like that, do you? Demographics IS destiny, and the destiny of Latin themed states is to revert to Latin norms.
Which makes perfect sense, and probably suits the majority there. But in considering places that might be friendly to people wanting traditional American values (like support for the full Bill or Rights, including the Second Amendment) it seems dicey. That's not really the background of most of the people there, already.
Am I missing something?
