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!

Well done! (2 images) They really could care less.
Actually, as neo-Marxists, they're toasting our demise with white wine and brie.

Absolutely.
Don't worry. Obama will save us!
The EffeteElite--of both parties--have a Day of Reckoning approaching. Dealing with the border, that's pure populism these days, yet our leaders continue to pussyfoot around with the problem!! A lotta RATS have claimed to be anti-Amnesty as well, that's good. Perhaps there will still be power enough in Congress to stop either McCain or Obama from granting Amnesty to 20 million ILLEGALS!! Both major party nominees for POTUS are on the WRONG side of this issue. Seriously, who is pulling the strings for the pro-ILLEGAL, anti-ANWR anti- Americans? Regards...MUD

Similarly, both major party nominees for POTUS are on the WRONG side of the ANWR issue, another populist issue in today's world.
