The primary issue has still not been resolved: The 10th Amendment reserves to the states the right to decide issues not addressed in the US Constitution. Such issues include things like marijuana use and same sex marriage. In contrast, a state law on gun magazine capacity is un-constitutional because the right to keep and bear arms without infringement is written into the Constitution.

Yes, that part of the Civil War continues to this day. We have a Constitution or we do not.

The war hero was Dole. The philandering draft dodger was slick Willy.

Yes Kerry is a sham. He spent three months in Vietnam and is called a war hero. I spent three and a half years in Vietnam, what does that make me? Not a hero for sure. How can a man get three Purple Hearts in three months and not miss one days work? BS

The country's demographic change is already baked in. You could deport every illegal tomorrow and the white percentage will still continue to fall until it no longer represents a majority.

Even if the white percentage were to continue to fall they would still remain the majority but that's not the point anyway. It's about an unnatural and unlawful transformation of our country and it is about culture not race.

I for one like this new, multi-lingual cosmopolitan culture. It's refreshing to hear multiple languages spoken when I'm out and about.

Don't know Spanish. Learn it. You all are the lot criticizing everyone for being "lazy". Get a book and start learning. It isn't hard.

My point is that the growth of the legal Hispanic population is such that in 20 or 30 years whites will no longer be a majority, regardless of what happens with illegals. Whites will remain a plurality, but will no longer represent a majority.
