Forty-nine percent of California's children between 12 and 17 have at least one immigrant parent, a phenomenon that could dramatically change the composition of the state's electorate within several years, according to a report released Tuesday.
Of these 1.2 million kids, 84 percent are U.S. citizens, either because they were born here or were naturalized, said Rob Paral, a Chicago-based demographic researcher who prepared the report, "Integration Potential of California's Immigrants and their Children."
The report predicts that as these children turn 18, they could help fuel a rise in immigrant voters by 2012.
About 6.5 million immigrants in California are already U.S. citizens or could be, according to the report. By 2012, these adults and citizen children who have become adults could total 7.7 million "potential future voters," or 29 percent of the electorate if they register.
Paral is a research fellow at Notre Dame University's Institute for Latino Studies and at the American Immigration Law Foundation in Washington, D.C.
His firm prepared the report for Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees, a national network that advises foundations and communities interested in policies to incorporate immigrants into civic life.
"It's jaw-dropping," Paral said of the number of California kids who are close to "the immigrant experience."

"It's jaw-dropping," Paral said ...to say the least.
Where’s Captain Obvious?
California is the first post-American state.
Which is why the CA Dems don’t want voter ID’s
Don’t look for another Ronald Regan to come up to the majors through this minor league.
Anchor-babies-voting Ping.
We need to change the laws in this country.
My tagline:
You think it's bad now - wait till the anchor babies start to vote!
They will vote in every socialist, Marxist, etc. on the ballot. They will want to reward madre and padre with our chidren's tax dollars. They will destroy the U.S. unless the anchor baby custom is stopped - retroactively.
We need to change the laws in this country.

No, we need to ENFORCE THE LAWS OF THIS COUNTRY. And our government does not find that politicially expedient.
LOL Right behind you. I am amazed that people don't see this coming.
I agree. Maybe we need a law to deport the lawmakers.
Almost makes you wish for CA to to completely implode. That might be what it takes for the rest of the country to wake up.
California is imploding now. Most of these ‘immigrants’ (I don’t call illegal aliens immigrants) are of the lower social-economic class. They are taxtakers not taxpayers. In California the main problem is not the black gangs any longer it is the latino gangs. And most of the little gangbangers are anchor babies.
I live at ground zero here in California and it is all too obvious if you watch the news and check out our arrest logs.
Way too late for that. It’s all over but the shouting...
These grantmakers (socialists) need to consider the interests of Taxpayers Concerned with Illegal Immigrants and Criminals.
High percentage of kids with immigrant parents could transform California electorate, report says
In one case, latinos were asked to pay up to $2000 to get approved for Section 8 housing subsidies---govt pays 75% of the rent---but the govt does not require payment for this.
Another case----a latino councilman (whose father is a state Senator) got huge amounts of city and state funds for an organization run by the councilman's wife. She said she provided services to another organization---trouble is the second organization said they never heard of her.
“Forty-nine percent of California’s children between 12 and 17 have at least one immigrant parent, a phenomenon that could dramatically change the composition of the state’s electorate within several years,”
Too late. With a high percentage of these jackpot babies and the liberal control, aliens voting,the ‘composition’ has already changed. Witness Los Angeles and it’s azatlan mayor.
That was the plan all along. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Florida to follow. It’s the only way the Democrats could remain viable after losing the South, and it all began with Ted Kennedy’s Immigration “Reform” Act of 1965.
US Senators Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein are liberal Democrats, so there is not change there..
And many of the US congress rittrers are also...
The CA legislature is run by Democrats...
The mayors and police forces of San Fran and LA are illegal alien loving ...
There would be little change at all
And you might find that the anchor babies want something better...
