I keep asking this as information develops and the year goes on. What do you guys think?

    Interesting, why do you believe latinos will rise in population (as a percentage I’m assuming) from internal growth? The way I see it lower income correlates with birth rate and I think latinos aren’t so much below the other races that it would make a large percentage shift, especially in the face of rising immigration from India

    I would’ve talked a lot about climate refugees from central and south america but they wouldn’t be US citizens which is what the question asked about

      I think that’s from official statistics by the us govt but I don’t have time to look it up right now. They’re at least projecting increased wealth. But yeah, I would agree that immigrants who aren’t citizens or who don’t have legal status will affect things in a way that’s not in line with official docs. But border security keeps getting more funding so it’ll probably taper off when the US becomes less attractive as a destination.

        Most US Latinos are very conservative/libertarian (i.e pro- I got mines , fuck y’all). They support patriarchy, fascism, and all the other capitalist things. This is why they are gaining wealth.
