Census data has shown a major demographic shift for the first time: non-white babies are now comprise the majority of births. The story is running across the wires today, and conservative reaction is predictable. "America is doomed! The illegals have taken over!"
UPDATED
The Associated Press's story focused the big picture: that changing demographics will reshape government policies. White people will be the old folks, and young people will be largely "minorities."
Here's a smattering of reaction from our conservative counterparts. Careful - some of the spittum from their foaming mouths might fly across your desk. Highlights from Fox News' Web site are up first:
This is because we let too many freaking immigrants into this country! We need to close the boarders and ship out the illegals! At the very least we could tie some tubes. They are like jackrabbits, and the only thing they love more than beans is welfare.
A report done a few years ago stated that 10% of all births in the U.S.A. are to illegal aliens. Add that to the articles findings, it should come as no surprise that the populations ethnic background is shifting dramatically. And if you consider the courts past rulings in actions brought by the ACLU on illegal aliens rights, taking God out of anything even the Pledge of Allegiance (NBC Golf broadcast), etc. etc. you can see our country will become another failed nation after losing the things that have made our country the greatest in the world!
If white's are the minority will they get affirmative action and free rent? And who's going to take care of all those welfare recipients when whitey is gone?
Another wrote a screed in all caps about how "HOW THE LIBERALS GRADUALLY SHATTERED AMERICA!"
Shockingly, Breitbart and Newsmax didn't have any discussion threads yet. Are the conservatives sleeping in today?
The Drudge report linked to My Way News; the white supremacist Web site Stormfront.org used the same exact link. Interesting coincidence, huh?
10:24 AM PT: Breitbart readers chime in:
of mostly single mothers—now exceeds African-American households with married couples, a sign of declining U.S. marriages overall but also continuing challenges for black youths without involved fathers."
This is great news for taxpayers. The government entitlement (welfare) keeps growing and growing! I guarantee you in 50 years the US will lose the majority of it's taxpayers to other countries (we will all move) due to the fact that the cost of welfare recipients alone will outnumber the taxpayers two to one. How can a country survive with statistics like that? America is doomed to become a third world nation! Our only hope would be to kick every illegal out period and reform the welfare system (payouts equal one year, after that your on your own). We may stand a chance if this happens, but I don't see anyone with enough balls to do it!
How about a poll that shows what percent of the medical bills for these babies was paid for by whites!
