Los Angeles is becoming a "Third World city" with immigrants making up half its workforce, says a new study. A third of immigrants have not graduated from high school and 60 per cent do not speak English fluently, the Migration Policy Institute found. It said this left immigrants ill-equipped to fill California's fastest-growing occupations, such as computer software engineering and nursing. The organisation added that as the so-called baby boomers reach retirement age, a similar pattern will spread across the US. Ernesto Cortes Jr, of the Industrial Areas Foundation, a think-tank that specialises on social change, claimed Los Angeles was at a crossroads. "The question is are we going to be a 21st century city with shared prosperity, or a Third World city with an elite group on top and most on near poverty wages?" he said. The US Census Bureau last year predicted that by 2050, minorities will account for half of all residents across America. It registered the largest numerical increases in minority residents in metropolitan Los Angeles, Riverside, in California, Dallas, Houston and New York. In 2000, according to the Census Bureau, whites were in a minority in 262 US counties, up from 183 in 1990. Nationally, the number of minorities topped 100 million for the first time in 2006, to make up about one third of the population.
Poster Comment: I'd like to take a moment to thank all the white guilters and multicultural/diversity advocates for making this possible. Well done!

Most of the illegals are from Mexico, the rest are from Latin America. Some are running around shooting Black American citizens, who lived and worked in these neighborhoods since WWII. Now inner-city American citizens cannot get a job at their own local McD's because to work there you must speak Spanish; same for most low-level jobs once held by Black American citizens. Californians have been complaining about illegals for decades. Only in the last 10 years did the rest of the US care, b/c the illegals started migrating to the rest of the US. The problem is that the borders belong to the federal govt not the states. But the problems brought by the failure of the federal govt are born by the states. About 3 years ago the Border Patrol rounded up hundreds of illegals in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Asa Hutchison said "Stop!" "We didn't mean it!". And all those illegals were let go. During the weeks of roundups, entire classrooms were empty and the traffic was lighter. In fact, it was the teachers complaining that made the news.
that is exactly how it is in Arizona also. a young american cannot get a job at a fast-food restaurant. because these big corporations require 2 languages. and only the immigrants do that generally. and which language do you think it is that they barely speak and which one are they fluent in? So the result is that 90% of the customers who speak english primarilly have poor communication with the clerk. That is correct. in english-speaking neighborhoods when you try to get a job they persecute you because you don't speak spanish. and favor you if you are an immigrant. and this is done by lots of employers. Lots of young americans have told me of this. and I've witnessed the clerks can only speak english very poorly. meanwhile if the few spanish-only customers would just point to what they want for an english-only clerk everyone would be happy.
