Its true that Hispanics are the fastest rising ethnicity, but nowhere near a majority by 2050...more like doubling from the current 12% to about 25%.

The Asian population in the US is expected to double during that period as well.

But should that be a basis for immigration?

oh ok, my bad. I just knew whites would be in the minority. I could've sworn it said latinos would be the majority. anyway...

No, I wasn't arguing that should be the basis for immigration.

Brazil’s leader blames white people for crisis

I believe he was arguing the problem started in the United States, with the "good ol' white boys club" in Wall Street, and he would be right.

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Thursday blamed the global economic crisis on “white people with blue eyes” and said it was wrong that black and indigenous people should pay for white people’s mistakes.

But that is what he said. I can't know what he meant, or read his mind(it would be in Portuguese anyway), I can only know what he said. And as a blue eyed white person, I take exception to his statement.

I agree. it was pretty out there.

Why doesn't he just blame the Aryan Race or Nazi Empire?

Well there you have it.

Homeland Security Frees 27 Illegal Immigrants, Sends Them Back to Work

The Feb. 24 raid of an auto parts plant in Bellingham, Wash., netted 28 illegal immigrants. While one was deported, the remaining workers were released from custody and given employment authorization documents, or EADs, in exchange for cooperating with an ongoing investigation of their employer, Yamato Engine Specialists.

But critics say the softened policy will increase the number of illegal immigrants entering the country.

"The signal that it sends to illegal immigrants is that if you can get here, you're pretty much home free," said Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

Criminal arrests of employers who hired illegal immigrants skyrocketed from 25 in 2002 to 1,103 in 2008. The number of deportations jumped from 485 to 5,184 over that same time period. The Obama administration has sought a freeze on immigrant arrests.

Enforcement advocates say Americans should be outraged by the government giving illegal immigrants a right to work when unemployment is so high for documented workers.

Unemployment in Whatcom County, home to the Yamato plant, has risen to 8.1 percent, and in the days after the Yamato raid, more than 150 people applied for the jobs made open by the arrests.

Too bad not one American got a job.

I am ashamed of all of you - It took Clod of all people, with all she has going on, to catch that. Shame, shame, shame - You are ALL on report. Yes, you too!

Oh, that's just racist drivel Bruce.

Yeah right, it isn't like the Mexican Army, or Mexican police, are real world threats to anybody. The cartels told me so.
