THE date is looming large in America’s debate about immigration: the population is predicted to reach 300m on October 17 and the newborn citizen is as likely as not to be a bouncing Hispanic baby.Mark Alexander
The face of America is changing as immigration fuels population growth out of sync with the rest of the developed world. It is also complicating President George W Bush’s efforts to offer illegal entrants a path to citizenship.
William Frey, a social scientist at the Brookings Institution in Washington, pinpointed the date by examining the most popular months for births — August to October — and ethnic birth rates. “We know about half the growth in the United States is Hispanic,” he said. “Only about 10% is white.” Hispanics nudge US population to 300m by Sarah Baxter in Washington

Hispanic is a broad term but there are advantages. Hispanics are mostly family centered decent folk who will work their way up the econmoic ladder.
Unlike some immigrants they are happy to be here and do no have any desire to blow themselves up. They do not despise the American way of life but rather seek to enjoy it.
On 9-12 I saw plenty of flags in the heavily hispanic section of Brooklyn Sunset Park and in the Hispanic Area of North Bergen. I saw plenty of flags in my own area Union Square but those were the rainbow colored flags.
The Communist radicals who gather in NYC to stab my country are mostly white and most frequently secular Jews who can not identify even the most basic prayer objects.
In fact I can only remember one or two hispanic radicals. There are a few black exconvicts Nation of Islam types but that is more an antisemitic function then far left.
Thanks to the hispanics and chinese
disgruntled Sons of Allah do not have a chance of forming more then ethnic enclaves. The USA will be fine in the future.
Victor Davis Hanson's Mexifornia is not as optimistic as Beak. This new wave of Latino immigrants is not like the previous ones.
