The changing face of America
This today from the Associated Press:
Minorities make up nearly half the children born in the U.S., part of a historic trend in which minorities are expected to become the U.S. majority over the next 40 years.
In fact, demographers say this year could be the "tipping point" when the number of babies born to minorities outnumbers that of babies born to whites.

Wouldn't it be nice if all their parents were US citizens instead of illegal aliens...
How do you know that? Most Hispanics are in this country legally and many have been here longer than most immigrant groups.
The bottom line is birth rates, that is what determines the future demographics.
And what exactly would your point be, Brian?
Maybe the point is "things change, get used to it."
Interesting. I know that my wife and I couldn't afford to have more than two children and ensure that they were provided with opportunities for a college education, if they so wish. Of course, we did it all wrong. My wife decided to remain home after our first child was born. We have been a single income family, but I believe that the children have benefited greatly.
