Sometimes on the news I hear things like Whites are going to be a minority at some later date in the U.S.

Is this true? Why? I thought the government was run by white people.

That doesn't make a difference. Higher birth rates and migration patterns are the contributing factors in the shift in demographics.

What is a white? Before Affirmative Action and race based government handouts and special victim status, there weren't "hispanics", they were "whites" back then.

Our government is run by white people? Are you serious? You do realize that we have a half black president, don't you? You do realize that we have blacks, hispanics, asians, etc. that hold office in this country, don't you?

If this demographic change occurs it will be directly due to illegal immigration mostly from hispanic nations and yes because our racially diverse government has allowed it. Why do I get the feeling that you are gloating over it?

Yes, the definitions of race group change. And "hispanic" is actually a newly invented race. It came into being after affirmative action and racial quotas. Hispanics can be as white as white can be, and you see blue eyed blond hispanics cashing in on their victim status all the time.

Physicians and lawyers' kids can easily get full ride scholarships for being a victim race and they can be upper class and white - it's the handiest racial term ever.

Why do you always say that? "This is not on topic for illegal immigration." Yes, it is. You seem to always want to say that the effects of illegal immigration have nothing to do with illegal immigration. The population shift that is happening and will continue to happen is the DIRECT result of illegal immigration. Researches, sociologists, etc. will tell you that that is the truth. Illegal immigrants were and are still coming here, they have children, those children have children and boom, there is growing population.

You just don't want to hear these things or the truth or talk about these things. Is this topic of the white minority the most flattering thing to talk about? No, but it IS a topic, it IS a truth. The truth is that the Hispanic population grew to the numbers it has because of illegal immigration. That is how they are on the path to majority. The funny thing is that if illegal immigration is controlled, that growth will stop and the prediction will not become a reality.

Essentially, this whole thing that many Hispanics take pride in and like to rub in the face of some is the result of illegal immigration. To me, the Hispanic growth is just a reality and it doesn't matter how it happened.

One, it doesn't matter if the POTUS is half-black, the US government doesn't always put the power in the President, so the fact that he is black could mean nothing. Secondly, illegal immigration has been handled by many previous Presidents. So, the current government isn't the only administration that has helped the Hispanics population grow. Bush, Reagan, they all had their hands in illegal immigration, so I don't agree that a "diverse government allowing it" is the reason for the growth. Reagan era and even before that wasn't so diverse.

I have heard from fairly good sources that the US Consulate in Guadalajara is about the only clean one in Mexico - and those sources say there are American blacks working there that follow the rules on giving out visas.

This is an inconvenience of course because people around there have to go instead all the way to Mexico City to get their visas to get into the US easily.

Other Consulates, particularly the one in Juarez are extremely corrupt and visas can be easily purchased by criminals or whoever, rules are often bent and disregarded.
