From a CNN Article this morning:

In 1967, there were fewer than 10 million people in the U.S. who were born in other countries; that was not even one in 20. Today, there are 36 million immigrants, about one in eight.

One important test to determine if a country is healthy is if the population is increasing at a strong rate. Europe right now is failing that test.


The CNN Article goes on to say that the drive in population growth is coming of course from the Hispanics.

If we can curb ILLEGAL immigration, the fact that the population is being driven up by outsiders isn't something that conservatives should fear.

Hispanics by and large are an extremely family oriented, hard working, and religious group of people. If conservatives groups can properly court them a new permanent conservative majority could be established in the future.


N.B:
"Properly Court" doesn't mean allowing ILLEGALS in and not securing the border. I simply hope that conservatives present to Hispanics the values of the conservative movement and show how these values are the same as their own.
