We will all be speaking spanish.....

What is "takeover" supposed to mean?

Aren't we all supposed to be past this race thing?

Now, if we continue to have uncontrolled mass immigration, most of these people will be poor and uneducated. That continues to intensify the problem of already strained schools and medicals costs and continue to take more and more tax money.

So the issue is not a "takeover" of anything. What would they be "taking over"? The government? It's already too liberal here. The high paying jobs? I don't think so.

We shouldn't be worrying about ethnicities. We should be worried about the illegal population, regardless of whether they are "Hispanic".

It means lil' Tijuana in your own backyard.

Illegal immigration in Canada?

We must all welcome our new frijole overlords!

Viva Obama Ahkbar Ole!

Based on what Mexico has brought to the world, not overly optimistic but, more importantly, whitey will be diminished so hooray, right?

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz work for me

Hispanics are part of the Christian World, not the Muslim one. That's all right with me.

A judicious read of "Mexifornia" by Victor Davis Hansen is in order.

I don't know who the Einsteins are who automatically categorize "Hispanic" as "nonwhite". I know it's an attempt to create a divide where none exists, but it makes absolutely no sense. Most Hispanics are caucasian and some are not....almost all Hispanics from Spain certainly are caucasian.

#7, both are of Cuban descent.
And Cruz was born in Canada as well as being Cuban.

As for the end result of the 'takeover'; should it be predominantly Mexican will be:

Poverty and penury for the people, and power and privilege for those of Spanish descent, exactly like it is in Mexico NOW.

I guess you have to look in the world where Hispanics dominate. Mexico, Central America, South America, Spain, Portugal. We see poverty, corruption in government, small upper class with majority lower class, financial mismanagement. Look at cities in Southern U.S. dominated by Hispanic populations. Same results.

Case closed.

Worse come to worse, we can just give California back to Mexico. That will deprive the Rats of 55 Electoral College votes.

#11 I'm just making the point that they are Hispanic...Rubio and Cruz...I know where they were born...

All the Cuban-Americans whom I know do not consider themselves "Latinos" and feel no sense of camaraderie with them.

Give California back to Mexico?

#14, not trying to be contentious, but see #15......that was the point I was trying to make....do NOT call a Cubano a 'hispanic/latino'........one way to ensure an angry response!!!!

Plus the article is about the South and Central America's, which Cuba is not a part of......

Agree, #10, talk to those who call themselves brown.

If Hispanics inter-marry with other ethnic groups--which is likely at some point--they will become diluted at an indentifiable category. Right now, in the Chicago schools, there are a number of children who have one Hispanic parent and one Anglo parent. If their name sounds Anglo, no one knows they are Hispanic!

Please allow a Texan to offer another view of the Hispanics and their effect. If you've lived in Texas very long, and my family goes back to Comanche-fighting days along the Pecos, you know Mexicans to be your neighbors, your church friends, your co-workers, your city council members, your mailman, the saleslady, the insurance guy, perhaps your congressional representative and your children's school and playmates. These are not evil people. They want the same things the rest of us want for our country and our families. Their US flags are flying from their front porches and their auto antennas.

The illegals who are uneducated, unskilled and a drain on the state's resources are just as much threat to my Mexican friends as they are to me.

A "takeover", from the headline, need not be something to frighten us. We can and should all work together to control the border and the illegals among us in a way that protects our states and our nation.

It won't mean much.

Economically and socially there is less and less difference between the US and Latin America each year. Mostly because the US - think of Detroit or Camden - is in steady decline.

And much of Latin American is improving. Changes have been slow but rather steady for a century. And not always an improvement e.g. Argentina.

Los Angeles is almost Mexico City with a better climate and beaches.

Reconquista - I hope I spelled that right.

It won't mean very much to the greater USA as long as all those illegal aliens, and the following generation that they will spawn, stay in California. Since just about all of them are low wage earners who are generally uneducated, will cost the taxpayers of California big money and are highly susceptible to ethnic based populist and socialist demagoguery. The Spanish language is already becoming the predominant language spoken in some parts of California as those places more resemble Mexico and Central America and as more and more illegal aliens arrive that will only accelerate.

To really make a difference in the greater USA, Hispanics will have to "takeover" enough key states to ensure that the liberal Democrats will always have a lock on enough electoral college votes to win all future national elections.

Then look for "open borders" to be enshrined in US law, as that would be bound to bring in more and more potential liberal Democrat socialist oriented voters, and for the USA as an English speaking country to come tumbling down.

One mistake some gringos make when they try to anticipate Mexican-American voting patterns is they look at how generally conservative Hispanics are in their personal life ie the importance of family, religion,etc. and extrapolate a future GOP voting constituency. However when you look at historic voting/political movement patterns of Mexicans in Mexico they have a very socialist bent albeit a uniquely Mexican socialism. They favor a strong executive unencumbered by a legislative or judicial branch.

IMHO we're screwed unless we can convince the masses that continually voting themselves entitlements will end in disaster.

#24 You are absolutely correct.

12 & 24 captured the essence of a major takeover by Latinos. Nothing more to add, except that drugs will be easier to get.
