Granted, if the right could really enforce employment laws against illegal immigrants and a million went home then Texas's rate of Hispanization would slow down but the state has at least 1.8 million and is only behind California in illegal Mexicans and Central Americans and does have a lot of 2nd generation Mexicans. I think the problem with the right its too much into classical liberal economic theory rather than ethnic and racial group theory that why it praises Texas to the skies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-39472392741680595882014-04-21T08:42:34.338-07:002014-04-21T08:42:34.338-07:00The growth of the Hispanics in Texas needs to be a...The growth of the Hispanics in Texas needs to be addressed through education, economic improvement and job training or the state will become one of the poorest in the nation, a former U.S. Census Bureau official said Thursday.<br /><br />Former director of the U.S. Census Bureau Steve Murdock discussed the demographic changes Texas has undergone in the past decade and the impact it will have on the state at the Texas Tribune's On the Road: A Symposium on Demographic Change on Friday at the Tomás Rivera Conference Room at the University of Texas at El Paso.<br />What we been saying been some Tea party right wingers think only tax cuts and low regulation.

Although Brazil will likely become the most powerful country in South America (which isn't saying much), it is going to remain largely very poor. Despites its abundant natural resources, its population remains woefully uneducated and will continue to be so. Its politics are both corrupt and redistributist (which is being redundant). There is no prospect of it going "Tiger" any time soon.<br /><br />A number of prominent Brazilian business tycoons have expressed similar sentiments -- that Brazil will remain poor due to its corruption and poorly educated workforce.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-13852415519560569412014-04-20T22:45:58.429-07:002014-04-20T22:45:58.429-07:00The nuclear power plants are in Rio de Janeiro, an...The nuclear power plants are in Rio de Janeiro, and Sao Paulo, that I know of.

However, the whole country is mired in extreme corruption and poverty (though such trends are less severe in the southern -- that is, European-settled -- part of the country).<br /><br />But it never weaponized. Weaponization is not as easy as claimed. Only known non-NATO/Warsaw Pact countries to weaponize are China, Israel, South Africa, India, Pakistan and North Korea.<br /><br />Additionally a handful of others are capable of rapid weaponization: Germany, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and so forth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-65387076861588673362014-04-20T21:06:58.149-07:002014-04-20T21:06:58.149-07:00Will Today’s Hispanics Be Tomorrow’s Whites?"...Will Today’s Hispanics Be Tomorrow’s Whites?" - given that they fought for their non-white racial classification, why would they go back on that?

There are many that don't do as well as whites or Asians but better than blacks. There are many that are moving into the upper middle class in Ca, Tx, AZ or NV or even NM and probably will marry whites. In fact La and Orange seem to be having more second and 3rd generation Mexicans moving up but there are still lots of illegals and their children.
