Is the growth of Hispanics good for America?

Check your history moron all this belonged to Spain and Mexico at one time so Spanish was spoken here long before you were a wet spot.

Yes I do enjoy it very much. Not only hispanic culture, but other cultures as well. Hey, instead of complaining we should be glad that we have all kinds of cultures and diversities without having to leave the country. Other countries don't have the same advantages.

People are telling you that just because they're Hispanic doesn't make them illegal.  In fact the higher the Hispanic population the more illegals you are going to come across.

The Latino community has now become the largest, and fastest growing minority community in the States, so there is a growing segment of the population that speaks Spanish, and non-spanish speakers are taking up the language as a way to improve commerce with this community.

I'm white and American and I support immigration, illegal or legal.  Everyone should have a chance to experience, freedom and democracy, even if our current government takes such things away minute by minute. People come here illegally so that they may have a new chance at life and usually willing to work to acheive it. Hispanic Immigrants are always hard workers and work for less than minimum wage.  If you want to clean up America, why don't you find all of the whites and blacks who are too lazy to get up off of their asses to do an honest day's work and just sponge on welfare.  As to the t-shirt question, Cafe Press has the ability to make your own. Fidelche has some good political shirts too. The second link in my sources has some "Smash Racism" t-shirts.

The middle class is dwindling and the lower class in growing. The rich are getting richer and more powerful and controlling. There are 300 million American's now. The vast majority are white, we have a growing population of Hispanic (that includes those from all Latin America) and that has resulted in people saying we have a "browning of America" taking place. The largest age group is still the Baby Boomer generation, that's mine, who were born in the late 40's through early 60's. We are also the biggest consumers.

Yes many times. Being Hispanic in South U.S. is not a good thing. The latest thing that has happened was that an old man was walking out of a store and I opened the door for him he looked at me, turned his head and opened the other door. I felt offended.

I don't know how much good it will do, but I think it is long over due. People tend to look down on Latin, Hispanic, and Spanish Americans, and forget to give them credit for the good they bring to out country.

Yes, and you have to understand that though the US has a great Hispanic and bilingual influence, there are still MANY AREAS of the US, where many Latinos do not have a high presence.\n\nIf you rarely see Latinos or any Spanish speakers in your daily life, it's hard to believe that it's a bilingual nation.  I taught in Virginia Beach, and I had a small number of Latino students and out of 120 students only 2  spoke fluent Spanish.\n\nBasically, though it's absolutely true that we are becoming a bilingual nation, we are NOT YET bilingual everywhere.

It is not racist considering many other non-hispanic minorities, and even legal hispanics oppose illegal immigration. The Spanish-language media should present all of the facts, not some.

Below are the results of the 2000 U.S. census which came from the provided link.\n\nMarch 13, 2001\n"The country's Hispanic population mushroomed by 58 percent from 1990 to 2000, making it the fastest growing minority group and underscoring 'the changing diversity of the United States,' the U.S. Census Bureau reported this week." \n\nThe 1990 and 2000 U.S. Census Bureau did not consider Latino/Hispanic to be a race.   The U.S. Census Bureau considers people of Hispanic background as "CAUCASIAN (WHITE) of hispanic ethnicity (culture)" (paraphrased).  In other words, "Hispanic/Latino" is not considered a race by the U.S. Census Bureau.\n\nYour question would be similar to someone living in the 1890's, during the time of German immigration, asking when the Germans would become a majority.\n\n11/18\nFYI. . .The U.S. Census Bureau counts ALL people (illegal and legal immigrants) in the census.  The individual answers on the census remain CONFIDENTIAL FOR 70 YEARS and there is no sharing of INDIVIDUAL answers with other governmental agencies during that 70 yr period.

tell me about it i lve in california and our state is now 45% hispanic/latino(not including illegals)\nthis population tends to not assimilate(low literacy,low school attendance rates, gangs)\nand the while the turnover rates for whites,blacks and asians is even, meaning that a couple (2 people) will have between 1-2 children depending on the group; these populations do not see a growth in subsequent generations.\n\nthe latinos have on average of almost four children, meaning the next generation will be double that of the previous

Immigrants contribute 7 billion in social security per year. they earn 240 billion, report 90 billion, and only are reimbursed 5 billion, "where are the 85 billion?"  They also  contribute to the U.S. economy 25 billion more than they receive in healthcare, etc., etc., etc.  According to the anti-immigrant politicians and hatemongers, "immigrants are a drain on society."  If this is true, then during the day on May 1st the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom.  If not, we prove them wrong once and for all.  We know what will happen!      \n\nTherefore, the "March 25th Coalition against HR4437 in Los Angeles," the organizers of the mega march of almost 2 million on March 25th, has called for an emergency videoconferenced meeting on April 8th between Los Angeles and any city that wishes to join the efforts toward "El Gran Paro Americano 2006."  The following meeting will take place in Chicago on April 22nd, we ask that all that wish to participate and be a part of a national effort on May 1st and beyond, to attend by finding facilities in your areas that can hold the meeting, technologically.

Life would go on... I don't think America is going to fall apart without any one minority (not that I have anything against Hispanics, or minorities in general)... I suspect this is in response to 'what would happen if illegal immigrants get mad and leave the USA.  This seems to be the line the media is running with these days, but the mass protests on May 1st didn't affect the economy in any substantial manner (the 10cent hike in gas prices has done far more than they could hope to do), heck it even made my day better, since a segment of the population wasted their time making fools of themselves protesting in the streets instead of impeding traffic on the interstate...

Hispanic people are a mix of several ethnic backgrounds, including European, American Indian, and African.
