Texas demographer: 'It's basically over for Anglos'
Houston Chronicle ^ | 02/24/2011 | Gary Scharrer

Posted on 02/25/2011 4:42:41 PM PST by iowamark

Looking at population projections for Texas, demographer Steve Murdock concludes: "It's basically over for Anglos."

Two of every three Texas children are now non-Anglo and the trend line will become even more pronounced in the future, said Murdock, former U.S. Census Bureau director and now director of the Hobby Center for the Study of Texas at Rice University.

Today's Texas population can be divided into two groups, he said. One is an old and aging Anglo and the other is young and minority. Between 2000 and 2040, the state's public school enrollment will see a 15 percent decline in Anglo children while Hispanic children will make up a 213 percent increase, he said.

The state's largest county - Harris - will shed Anglos throughout the coming decades. By 2040, Harris County will have about 516, 000 fewer Anglos than lived in the Houston area in 2000, while the number of Hispanics will increase by 2.5 million during the same period, Murdock said. The projection assumes a net migration rate equal to one-half of 1990-2000.

Most of the state's population growth is natural, Murdock told the House Mexican American Legislative Caucus today. About 22 percent of the growth comes from people moving to Texas from other states.

About 6 percent of the state's population is not documented, he said.

By 2040, only 20 percent of the state's public school enrollment will be Anglo, he said. Last year, non-Hispanic white children made up 33.3 percent of the state's 4.8 million public school enrollment...

The state's future looks bleak assuming the current trend line does not change because education and income levels for Hispanics lag considerably behind Anglos, he said....

It will be a shame watching Texas turn blue.

None of this was a mistake...Our own government rolled out the red carpet for tens of millions of Mexican illegals...

In fact, the last President from Texas made American citizenship all but pointless.

This report really really pisses me off.

Our own leaders have allowed this to happen.

I read a story that by 2050, America will be the 3rd economy in the world behind China and India.

Elected officials for years have sold out the country of their birth.....freakin traitors.

Also, just a comment on the article and on many of the comments here. I'm not hyper sensative but the term "anglo" is rude. Equivilent to "colored" for Blacks. It is also inaccurate. Many whites aren't descended from the Anglo-Saxons.

White, caucasian, European-America but not "Anglo" or the Hawaiian equivilent "haole" which they have laughingly convinced many is not a slur.

You bet...None of this was an accident...The lawlessness and bleeding borders in Texas and the southwest is all government sponsored..

It's much much easier to control 3rd world uneducated peasants than educated people who understands government has betrayed us all.

I understand what your saying and your concern, but nothing is inevitable. One thing though: being convinced something is inevitable makes it more likely it becomes inevitable.

‘Affirmative action’ is really a reverse discrimination that can no longer be countenanced, and is being rolled back all over. Illegal aliens no longer have the free pass they once had, and if I and others have anything to say about it they will all be deported. Even legal immigration is something the citizens get to decide, as citizens.

Demographics relies on predictions, but predictions have been wrong before. The usual pattern has been for families from high-birthrate cultures to adjust to their new surroundings for economic success. Those that haven’t have only been able to do so until now because they’ve been financed by taxpayers here, which is ending.

I think I’ve defended this enough and if I keep going I’ll just be repeating myself. It’s not over for Anglos until Anglos decide for themselves it’s over.

Actually, I don't think I posted to you..

What specifically was said that you disagree with?

Or does the truth just annoy you?

“I read a story that by 2050, America will be the 3rd economy in the world behind China and India.”

At the beginning of the 1900’s America was only about the 15th economy in the world - about the same as Argentina, maybe even behind it. Our status as a superpower was when Europe was in shambles after two devastating world wars fought for the most part in the most industrialized parts of the continent. Europe has rebuilt since then, and as the ‘European Union’ is a bigger economy, or wavers around us, last time I checked.

So we’ll be number two or three or even four at some point by predictions? It’s not my preference. Let’s get to work now then to be number one again, whatever the case is.

Shortest motivational speech ever:

If it is to be, it’s up to me.

I work for a fortune 1000 corporation. It is not being rolled back in the workplace, at all. We have diversity VPs, we have diversity training, we have minority outreach, we have special groups to help woman, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, BLTs or whatever the fags call themselves these days.. for Whites - nothing.

This shows up in constant parade of underqualified youngish junior executives from the 'protected classes'. Many of them leave after a few years.

In the US Justice Department we have one Eric Holder who has testified before US Congress that most civil rights laws do not apply to white people. This flabergasting statement was barely reported on. If John Ashcroft had made a similar statement about blacks he would have been impeached the next day.

I see absolutely no sign of AA going away. Ward Connerly's brave quest did win votes, but the liberals thwarted the clear intention of the law, just like they always do.

Other than that, I agree with you. Nothing is decided. We, the still-for-a-while the majority need to rise up and with one voice take back our country.

Even many Conservatives (or baby-conservatives) are shocked to hear someone tell them that I want the country to remain a strongly white majority country.

But them I grew up in Detroit, so I understand the alternative a lot better than many so-called Conservatives.

“anyways the Texican posole was bad ass... made with wild hog meat”

I have seen Posole spelled with both an S and a Z.

I hear that Texas has a problem with the Wild Hogs, Would be fun to try out my AR in .458 SOCOM. Not sure if it would be enough Gun for one of them Bad Boys.

I’m from New York and my family’s been here a long time. I think I can relate a bit to your experience of Detroit, but everybody’s experience is different. There are neighborhoods that have over the years been ‘ethnically cleansed’ before that term came into use. Discriminating against people of the same ethnicity and gender as the founders of this country in the country they founded is unconscionable. But I know how things are now and how they got that way.

I don’t mean to suggest it’s easy to reverse, but that’s what we’ve got to do. The other options seem to be curling up and dying, or smiling along as you’re dying inside. Get Holder out of there. Impeach his boss now. I know exactly the quote you’re talking about and it made me ill thinking about it.

We’ve got obstacles but we can’t get over them if all we do is stare at them and describe how the obstacles look to each other without seeing beyond them to what we want in the future. I’m happy to work with you on any of this - reversing the discrimination, institutional or otherwise, against males, Anglos, reviewing the 1965 immigration reform which was sold to voters as not going to change American demographics, deporting every illegal alien, easing tax burdens on middle class families, re-criminalizing abortion on demand, whatever.

Not that this is you, but it does seem to be some posters on this site (I’m fairly new) - I’m not happy to just sit around and talk about how horrible things are, how horrible they’re going to be, how horrible it is that they’re so horrible, and ‘can you believe what they’re doing to us now? - we can’t really say we’ve given it our best effort yet, because we haven’t won yet.

Case in point: Martin Van Buren’s father was a slaveholder—in Kinderhook, New York. Dutch.
