Am I surprised by this headline?

Most are probably anchor babies from ILLEGAL parents that we, as taxpayers, will have to feed, clothe, send to school, pay doctor bills, sent to college, etc. Makes me sick!!!!!!!

Oh please. Hispanics would most certainly jump at the chance to become legal and therefore pay taxes like everybody else. Most entered the country legally and became illegal because the system works like a glacier. Fix the system and you fix the problem. And once you're illegal, yer screwed.

"ethnic minority groups make up more than half the children born in the U.S."
~
That is in the plural.

Is this new ethnic and racial birthrate UNconstitutional?
Wait, the Constitution says all men are created equal.
Doesn't say natural born, officially immigrated.

JetJohn,

Yes, but but many of them pick our crops, mow our yards, and clean our houses for very reasonable rates. The wealthy need cheap workers. Mitt Romney has to keep up FIVE houses, and I am guessing that he is not much help around the house. Ann can't do all that by herself. Be reasonable. The Romneys and others in the 1% are overtaxed and need cheap labor so that the rest of us will benefit when their spending trickles down to us.

This is why the Republican party is so desperate to take over our elections and government because they see the writing on the wall regarding rising minority population counts. If they can get control now they can jury rig the system to keep these voters our of the picture in the future. That is why you have the push to disqualify voters all over the country based on phony evidence that illegals are voting in large numbers. That is why conservatives on the Supreme Court allowed the wealthy and corporations to dump unlimited money into our elections. They don't want the middle class and lower to actually have any say in running this country. It would be bad for their business of collecting even more of the wealth of this country.

jetjohn hit it on the head, and this is exactly why our Medicaid system is broke. We allow the illegal Mexicans to hatch anchor babies like chickens in a Tyson plant up at UAMS and provide them with interpretors that assist getting the entire tribe on Medicaid, that is what is broke with our system

Geez. Didn't we just go through this? Whites and Blacks account for ~70% of all Medicaid funding. Hispanics only ~10-15%. But I suppose it must be all those anchor babies killing the system, huh? No doubt you won't let those pesky facts get in the way of your opinion. The idiocy displayed here sometimes is truly amazing.

NoUserName you are certainly correct about the idiocy of some. That would include YOU. This is what's happening ALL over the US.

There are valid comments being made on both sides of this issue. Many of the poor immigrants are having many babies because our benefits are so good. While we see them as poor and driving down the education standards and driving up the poverty levels, they are thinking that things here are much better than at home and they want many children. Not all of them are assimilating; some are. Also, note that the "minorities" included in the equation also are the Asians. In one generation, the Asians outperform the "white" kids in education and are earn more money than whites. When Asians move in, education standards go up. When the Hispanic immigrants come in, education standards go down.

We must have a MODERATE approach to immigration reform. You cannot kick them all out of the country; we need our crops picked. They also are doing much of our hard labor so there is a good argument to be made that they deserve many of the health and education benefits they receive. However, we want to retain the attributes of a well educated country with a decent standard of living. If you grant citizenship only to those who have passed an English test, paid taxes, have children in school etc., then they will assimilate, have fewer children, and pursue education at higher levels. As a country, we also are having problems with areas having stupid rednecks who do stupid redneck things like chasing teenagers with guns and accidentally shooting the neighbor instead of the intended cat victim. We need to try to assimilate these people with the rest of the American culture as well.

Many of the poor illegal immigrants are having many babies because our benefits are so good. This is the reason that we should send them back to fix their own Country instead of sucking ours dry.

Illegal immigrants are not driving down the education standards, our government is doing that. But they are driving up the poverty levels.
~
They know that things here are much better here than at home, and that is why they are here.
Hardly any of them are assimilating.
~
Immigration reform is not needed or required, just enforce the laws on the books. And yes, we can kick out all of the illegal immigrants out. Ever hear of Operation Wetback? Then we can have a guest worker program.

The Census Bureau reported estimated "minority birth increase". The report does not mention immigration. Minority and immigrants are not the same thing. And a birth increase does not equal population increase because you also must account for the deaths, etc.
.
Minority is anyone who is not single-race white and not Hispanic.
.
Minority Population:
Hispanics: 52 million (Many hispanics are natives)
African-American: 43.9 million
Asian: 18.2 million
American Indians and Alaska Natives 6.3 million
Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders 1.4 million
.
Total Minorities: 121.8 million
(The report says 114 million… What am I missing?)
.
(my math)
The US total population in 2011: 311.6 million
Less minorities: 121.8 million equals
White single-race 189.8 million

Anyway, immigration and illegal immigration is a separate topic from "minorities". As you can see many minorities are natives and the majority is/was once immigrants.

Oh yawn.

pop,just when you start a comment with some thought i start to like you and then you end it with some liberal bs.you whine about romney having 5 houses while your worried your benz might get a scratch on it.you complain about everything the right does but then you act the same way as those your complaining about.sure the guy that shot the other guy instead of the guy is a dumba$$ and if you live in a gated community that still has a crime watch i`d be leary of some punk that was out of place and wearing a hood to cover his face.

Many if not most illegals were employed and transported into the US. Employers did not transport them back when their Visa/green card expired. And congress would certainly hate to sanction any employers. "Keep government out of the way."
.
We have immigration laws but congress NEVER fully funded for the enforcement of the law. Nobody is demanding funding but only calling for more laws that will also not be funded. And the same bunch that is whining for more laws are calling for across the board cuts. duh?

.
According to the CBO: Illegal immigration does not cost the federal government much of anything and their best guess estimate shows a cost to the states of less than 5% except for California @ about 10%. IMO, if congress is NOT going to fund the enforcement of illegal immigration... They should have to refund the states.

Wasn't there just an article the other day about how farms are going to close because the non-Hispanics don't want to do the job? Why yes, there was. Clearly there aren't scores of out of work non-Hispanics clamoring for these jobs.
.
Fact is, if the big problem is that people think illegals are getting a 'free ride,' then legalize them & collect taxes. As I have already said, whites and blacks are the ones who get most of the government support. It ain't the Hispanics draining the system. In my book, it's the fraud - there was just an article the other day about Medicaid (or was it Medicare?) being bilked for like a billion in fraudulent billing.
.
The problem with immigration is that it takes forever to become a citizen. In that time, many a VISA runs out. No way is a now illegal person going to sneak out of the country to re-enter legally. Illegals don't want to be illegal. Sure, you can enforce the laws. And I generally have no problem with that. But fix the friggin' system while we're at it.
.
Most people here had relatives who came in on a boat.
.
Besides, I'd much rather pay for an 'anchor baby' who just might turn out to be a productive citizen than the scores of adult whites and blacks that I see sitting on their a$$ collecting welfare, food stamps, and smoking pot.

Lazybar,

In my area the blacks are all doctors, lawyers, and software engineers. Most of the crime is committed by illegal immigrants. We need immigration reform to know exactly who is here and to keep the criminals out. I actually don't care what color people are--as long as they work hard. Many of the immigrants work very hard and are entitled to benefit from community programs. We are starting to have problems with poor people having many babies and these are straining community resources.

@Reason, About the NON PARTISAN, CBO!!!! Looks as tho it is as with the rest of the Obama Regime as partisan as you can get.

TheRightScoop.c0m? Were the servers down at MeinKampf.c0m?

Djigoo, You are showing your ignorance AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

T6, if anything, it is you showing YOUR ignorance. Can there be any doubt that TheRightScoop.c0m is so hopelessly tilted toward the Reactionary RadiKKKal Reich-Wingnut world view that it makes FOX look "fair and balanced."

But the proof is there for all to see. Check out the site, y'all. It's hilarious!

Djigoo, If we depended on your leftside sites to give us the truth Hell would freeze over. Anyway, you can't refute the TRUTH so you ATTACK the rightside sites. Huh?

I don't need to attack sites like TheRightScoop. They tend to collapse under the weight of their own inanity.

And the "truth?" I haven't seen any of that in your posts. Give me a hint...what does it look like?

Trust the Government? LOL.

Just imagine what these projections would be if black unborn babies were not killed/aborted at a rate 4 times greater than unborn white babies. Abortion on demand may be a white supremecists best, last hope, along with that of a pro-choice liberal.......

Liberals like you Djigoo tend to have difficulty in understanding anyone who can think independently. You are not capable of thought or action UNTIL you're told how to think and what to do by the left...... I think it's called marching orders!!!!!

You're wrong again, T6. Marching orders come from Limbaugh, Malkin, Beck, Coulter...

You know, Reich-wing nutjobs.

Now...isn't it time to don your foil hat and listen to what the fat drug addict wants you to think today?

Think independently, thats a good one. You have to be able to think first. You're more like parrot independently.
