Yes when are people get this through their head! Immigration of people from poor countries helps wealthy people and politicians more than anything. Most immigrants gravitate towards large cities and the coastal states. Real estate moguls, business owners, and other wealthy people just view these immigrants as slaves and cattle to be taken advantage of. Real estate moguls and slum lords want as many people coming in as possible. Wealthy people with a large house and acreage want slaves to hire as maids and landscapers for a very low wage.

Just look at the birth rates of Hispanics and to a lesser degree blacks compared to that of Whites.

Now add in the percent of children raised in a single parent household by race, which increases the chances of the apple not falling far from the tree.

Explaining Why Minority Births Now Outnumber White Births | Pew Research Center
Correct the pure white birth rate is way down but it's not just because of white men not having children it's that white men are more likely to date or marry a hispanic or asian compared to white women. Most white women interracial relationships are with black men and they're still pretty rare.

The only exception is white women and black men and that's where part of the browning comes in at. White women popping out white babies is way down because many professional women are just staying single and being career women. When it's a white woman and a black man there is almost always children involved.

This nation was built by both immigrants and our own citizens most of whom adopted a common language and formed the common culture and values of our country. So you deal with it. It was a melting pot but no so today. We are becoming balkanized.

People have been trying to bring this about for awhile and said after obamas last win that republicans will never win without winning the majority of the Hispanic vote. Republicans won both sides of the house and the presidency primarily with the support of white Americans.

The media needs to realize America is not as diverse as it is in their little bubbles of Manhattan and LA, from Washington state and Oregon through Idaho and Montana and the mountain west and nevada to new england and virginia and georgia, whites still make up a large percentage of the vote, certainly large enough to win congress and the presidency this year. We need to look at demographics if trump follows through with his immigration restrictions and deporting illegals. Places like Texas and California would change pretty dramatically demographically without illegal aliens

Trump is not going to deport illegals. That would cause an unacceptable increase in wages.

Why is it a cheap shot to tell the truth about what is happening?

How does this divide us? It should serve to unite us. There is really only one race - the human race. Biologically if different races really existed, they should not be able to interbreed.

Race is a Social Concept, Not a Scientific One

Quote:
Genetically speaking, studies have shown that there is much greater genetic variation within a given human population (e.g., Africans, Caucasians, or Asians) than between populations (Africans vs. Caucasions), indicating that human variation cannot be subdivided into discrete races.
