The new majority

Who wouldn't immigrate to a new country that awarded you for breaking it's laws, gave you free food, healthcare, etc. A country who gives you a drivers license and free education???

And none can deliver!

And you wonder why they support ILLEGAL immigration.

Diversity is important. We need more of it in Utah.

Not too surprising. Just fulfilling another prophecy in the scriptures.

So much for their assimilation. They have no desire to become Americans as other immigrants have. The only imigrant group that refused to join the melting pot.

And they wonder why so many are disgusted with them and their actions.

I am fine with legal immigration. But, illegal immigration from Mexico has got to stop! Why is it that every other country in the world has to follow rules to immigrate to the US except Mexico? It is because we have no boarder control. We need a wall.

...no doubt a result of Utah's sanctuary mindset. The cost to Utah's taxpayers and citizens has been and will continue to be overwhelming. In our family we had a son-in-law hit and nearly killed by an unlicensed, illegal alien who fled back to Mexico. He was left crippled physically and mentally handicapped who once was a bright, effervescent soul and is now unable to care for his wife or children.

The radicals in the Latino population see themselves as recapturing this land that was unrighteously taken from them. We're handing it back on a silver platter so that left-wing idealogues can feel better about themselves and maybe have a Michelle O'Bama moment.

Heaven help us.

When your hospitals begin bleeding due to the costs of treating the illegals (who have no insurance), when your auto insurance rates increase due to illegals (who have no insurance), when your schools and teachers are overwhelmed accomodating the illegals (who have no English), when your foster care system and taxpayers expend more and more time, energy, and money for the placement of illegal children, when costs related to crime, law enforcement, court costs, and jail time escalate,then you will find yourself where Maricopa County, AZ finds itself on a DAILY basis. It's not pretty folks. Educate yourselves now and plan ahead!

In 1847 when pioneers needed a new home they came into what was then Mexico territory without the proper permission. However they needed to do this due to the US not living up to its own constitution.

Mexico turned a blind eye, and showed compassion.

Now we look upon these pioneers as heros.

Someday the brave people we call undocumented will also be looked upon as heros, willing to come into a new land, with their future uncertain, all for the benefit of themselves and their posterity.

History may not repeat, but funny how it rhymes.

I love the Hispanic people I know. My only complaint is that jobs are often now excluding people who ONLY speak English because businesses are realizing their client base is demanding Spanish. It feels like reverse discrimination and seems very un-American to me. It looks like we need to step up the ESL classes and reinforce English as our official language. But, by all means give the spanish-speaking population every opportunity to assimilate.

Wow!! Thanks for another story about criminals in our midst. I soooo needed to be reminded of that fact. So now I get to pay for their kids education (but they have more freinds at school who only speak Spanish. Wow, really? I'm thrilled), their medical bills, their welfare needs, and the list goes on and on!!

Let's enforce immigration laws and severely punish those companies that are taking full advantage of slave labor!

In his book "The New Case Against Immigration" Krikorian explains that the leaders of our institutions (government, CHURCHES, corporations, educators, news editors...)have become post-American. They now see themselves as "citizens of the world." And they act accordingly.
But Krikorian also explains that their views are out of sync with the general public.
He calls for reducing legal immigration to about 250,000 a year and coming down hard on those who are here illegally.
The book talks about the impact of immigration on our quality of life (from traffic jams to pollution) and how our government and foreign governments (Mexico in particular) are driving the push for immigration.
Eventually one million immigrants and another one million illegals a year, all with significantly higher birth rates, are going to catch up with us.
The last one out, bring the flag!

All Right! In 2042 I will be in the minority, then I will be able to start the fight for equal protection under the new "minority" laws ... what goes around, comes around!

I think legal immigration is great, but immigrants that don't assimilate into the melting pot of the USA create the problems outlined in "American Suicide" a speech by Former Colorado Governor Richard Lamm.

What?
People with darker skin than ours the new majority?
The liberals strike again.
Heaven help us.

To all the illegals out there.

Just because we broke about every indian treaty ever made and took over their land illegally and just because we took land from you in a war of unprovoked agression, and just because I with regularity break laws including the speed limit DOES NOT MEAN

I don't have the right to complain about you breaking the law.

So don't bother to write and try to defend yourself. All of us have every right to complain about your breaking the law.

HAVE YOU FORGOT YOU GRANDPARENTS THAT CAME FROM OTHER COUNTRIES TO HAVE A NEW LIFE!!! SLC WASNT USA THE TIME THAT MORMONS ARRIVED, THEY ESTABLISH ZION "ILLEGALY"
SO...please dont divide our nation between, white people, black (you already did that), latinos, chinese etc...We need them, They need us....let work together.
Hard work, speak english, no criminal record, pay inmigration fees, we can make a lot of money out of it!!!
They pay taxes out of their paycheks, they cannot have it back...they dont have social security and because of that they dont have Health insurance for free!!! they pay A LOT more to go to the doctor.
While "white" people who can work but dont like to work can live with the money from the social security!!!
Who do you think you are, white, nazi, special...nope...we can do something together as equals...and remember, the real americans are in places called "reservations"...and please tell Pres.Bush to stop this "businesss" war and spend those millions and millions of dollars here to make our country better!!!
WE CAN DO SOMETHING TOGETHER FOR A BETTER COUNTRY, NO MORE DIVISION, there is no white, no latino, ONE country only, US!!!

Third world here we come. Crime, crowded schools, strain on the medical system, and the dumbing down of society. You morons that think diversity is the answer need to visit LA .

What a stupid story. Whites will still be the majority. You cannot lump all the other races together and consider them one. As a Latino I don't think I am part of the Black community.

I think it's time we annexed ourselves with Mexico. After all no one in politics seems to care about our borders, our language or our culture. Now we are nations within a nation. As more low skilled immigrants come to america we approach the dream we've all wanted: America will be a third world country. Thanks be to all of our politicians who "work" so hard for us!
