I am serious, Yes we have a mini-temp surge, however that is NO WHERE NEAR 100's of thousands it is in the Low 10's of Thousand MAX.
Frankly I think what these central american countries needs is not US Aid, but Powerful Contraceptives, they are the few Lat-Am Countries somewhat above replacement level fertility.
Also for all that Obama professes he is a Diversity Chief, he/his admin have pushed mexico (and provided Money) for Mexico Mexico to clamp down on its Southern Border (they have or are building a fence/stronger border enforcement), also illegal deportations of Cent-Am are up. I am not saying absolute zero, but Lat-A immigration is declining and never unlikely to be its all time high Before the 2008 Crash!
I'd like to see a viable link to your assertions that illegal immigration is down from south of our border. Besides, there are still millions of them here so what's the point? Low 10's of thousands? Still a lot of illegals coming here.

Ok please see attahed. I did not say itszero however Asian immigration has over taken Lat-Am immigration, in factLat-Am immigration since 2008 is almost net zero, here are the links.
That said I think the US needs a Immigration moratorium like we had between 1920's and 1960's (for 40-50 years) it will happen I believe in the next 15-20 years max, our immigration levels are unsustainable. Trump has got the right policies on immigration we need a TOUGHENED UP Immigration policy that BENEFITS America rather than the "free for all" approach we have now.
The current system is unsustainable and the Economy will collapse due to the Welfare/SS programs.... BIG GOVERNMENT has always been the beginning of the end, Socialism Suck and Never works... The system only works when 90% of more are contributing to the system, at the moment we have 100 Million on some form of Welfare..... Eventually the whole corrupted system will collapse.... Just my 2 cents!
Linguistically talented kids should learn Chinese, not any other foreign language, unless they have good personal reasons (family ties, special community, etc.).
Why "should" linguistically talented kids learn Chinese? Knowing Spanish is far more advantageous in the US (rightly or wrongly), and knowing French is far more advantageous in Canada. How about this: people "should" learn whatever language (s) they choose.

This, I agree with! However, in my area, at least when it comes to what's offered in schools, Spanish is the main/only option if you want to learn another language......you have to get to college before there's an opportunity to learn something else.
What? Not at all. Why didn't it die out in 1970 when Hispanics were only 4% of the US population?
There were always new immigrants.
Quote:
Now they're 15% and projected to be 30% by 2050. The majority of Hispanics consider the Spanish language part and parcel of their culture and will NEVER give it up.
It is an empirical fact that there is no generational transfer of the Spanish language in the United States.
Spanish is a typical immigrant language like all the rest, and it doesn't survive beyond the second generation.
Quote:
Many non-Spanish-speaking Hispanics are shamed or ridiculed for not knowing the language.
Well, they will soon be the majority.
