Reading the newspaper I read an article today that outlines the U.S population in the year 2042 I believe. It is estimated that the Hispanic population will double by this period. It is also stated that this is really not due so much to immigration, but because most whites are older and are dying and the replacement levels are falling and because the majority of Hispanics are younger.

Do they include illegals in their numbers? If not, I don't think it would happen. So, duh - what do we do? Hmmmm..........I know, enforce our own federal laws!

The article used the term "immigrant" broadly. Here are the exact words from the article:
Quote:
Hispanics are projected to triple by 2050, when they'll be nearly a third (133 million) of the population. Spurring Hispanic growth is the group's large natural increase - birthrate minus death rate - which vincent attiributed mainly to its youth and fertility. Immigration is an important but lesser factor, she said.
There is one, and tremendous problem I see with this. We know that minorities, or non-dominant groups as the article stated to discuss race and ethnicity, do not do the best in schools. Mainly Blacks and Hispanics. Neighborhoods where non-dominant races are a majority, usually have low test scores and high crime rates. If these people become the majority, America will have a new face. A possibly low educated, "Black and Brown", disposable class if something time and money is not invested in these people. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
Are there many Californian Americans living in Tijuana? Like, for the cheaper housing, so is there somewhat a meshing of American and Mexican around that border region?
What is the Tijuana lifestyle like, anybody know?

There's only two words do describe Tijuana and other border cities: Dirty and ugly.

Remember in all fairness that not all Hispanics are Mestizo; some are actually 'White'. Too, the birthrate within the total 'Hispanic' community has plummeted dramatically in the last few years-------to the point that California had to revise downward its projected population growth rate.
As for Blacks; they are actually a diminishing minority between higher death rates (which are falling into line with all other ethnicities), low birth rates as well as growing levels of intermarriage in which the children oftentimes do not self identify as 'Black'.

I really never said they were. I was referencing the article. I think the message the article was trying to portray is that most whites are older, dying, and the younger white generation is not having nearly as many kids. And also, the "multi-racial" population is also expected to grow by double or triple
