Latino kids now majority in state's public schools

"I wonder the percentage if every illegal alien child was removed. 30%?"

Probably much higher. I suspect that few grade-school aged children actually cross the border relative to the number of grade-school aged children that were born in this country to illegal aliens. I bet the number would be closer to 65% or 75%.

This is a problem that will only get worse, not better and probably much worse in the coming decade. Given the extremely high drop-out rate amongst California Latinos (and even higher amongst California blacks), I wonder how long it will be until there are more 19-year olds in California that don't have a high school degree rather than do.

Interestingly, California Asians have the lowest drop-out rate amongst all demographics, at 8.4% in 2007. Whites were almost 13% in that same year.
