Demographic characteristics, though, is of no consequence.
Yes they are, your saying the are not does not alter this and many other facts...

No it is not, are you saying that demographic would not be changing so fast if we had a fully secured border?

What does an altar have to do with this? LOL!


'An altar is any structure upon which offerings such as sacrifices are made for religious purposes. Altars are usually found at shrines, and they can be located in temples, churches and other places of worship. Today they are used particularly in Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shinto, Taoism, as well as in Neopaganism and Ceremonial Magic"

Why is that, why are the not at war with each other and some are?

No, it's actually not pretty much a fact. I just told you exactly how Rome fell. You can read the definitive books, Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and get a blow-by-blow account of precisely what happened to the Roman Empire. Not enforcing their borders? That were at almost constant war with barbarian tribes and faced numerous civil wars at the end.
How immigration destroyed Rome. Oxford historian Peter Heather has reexamined the fall of Rome. His new book, The Fall of the Roman Empire, holds many lessons for today. - Free Online Library

You never said minorities? Then explain the title of this thread and the very first sentence in your original post.
Demographically speaking

Did I say one way or the other? Your point? If you want to set it up so you can throw out some pseudo-science pertaining to racial differences, by all means, do so, I will find it amusing.

To you does race exist on the genetic level?

It would still be changing. Even if there was no illegal immigration we would still become a minority country. Where would we import people from? Europe? They have to import people themselves. Russia? They are losing population too, but they don't want to import people so they decided to pay women to have kids.

Hey strip a great deal of taxes and regulations let the economy flourish so people will have more kids..I mean economical down turns are connected with population growth.

Newsflash OP. I know you hate non-whites, but the reality is much of this change is due to the success of Americans. Higher income folks have always had FEWER kids than lower-middle and lower income folks. Add in the fact women can easily have careers today that make them self-supporting.

Our prior era high birth rates were largely tied to the fact a woman could be 5x as educated and qualified as a guy, and she'd be, at most , a secretary. To increase her lifestyle potential, she had to marry, and guys were more likely to marry young women, in prime child-bearing years. In essence, we'll never know how many of those big 50 and 60s era families were a factor of the limited earning potential of women.

Today, those high incomes get curtailed if the women take the "Mommy Track". Now in lower-income families, the opportunity cost of taking said track is small, but as you move up the economic chain, that cost gets immense. So we see fewer women making that sacrifice, or if they do, marrying later and having fewer kids.

We'll never again see faster rates of childbirth in white families, short of seeing a sustained Great Depression of epic proportions, permanently removing them from middle class America.

I hate no one, I love all peoples, all races, and all creeds.

How did you come to such a baseless conclusion?
