Hispanics and Latinos have become the biggest minority in America's cities, according to the latest data derived from the 2010 US census – marking a small but significant shift in the demographic make-up of the country's urban centres.

"A greater Hispanic presence is now evident in all parts of the country — in large and small metropolitan areas, in the Snowbelt and in the Sunbelt," said William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, who analyzed the census data. "From now on, local, state and national politicians will need to pay attention to Hispanics rather than treating blacks as the major minority," he said.

Would this have happened with regulated immigration?

What happens when they are no longer a "minority" as is happening in Texas.
Will they be reclassified as the "majority" ?

Good for them. Now if they would start voting in higher numbers we can move this country forward.

This isn't news. What's your point? The US is a land that was built from immigrants not a white nation per se. So why does it upset you so much?

Forward to what? The Third World? If it weren't for Sam Houston, San Antonio would have a nice Mexico City style slum complete with open sewers and cardboard mansions for all.

GOP base voters.

I love when they just blurt out their true feelings from time time.

Minorities are you getting this post above?

You just caught a glimpse of what usually said only say behind your back.

As a Southern white male I can tell you, this is typical water cooler talk among right wingers.

I'm sure that is the Hispanic goal... to turn everything into a slum...
