We are exporting industry, importing cheap labor, giving the angry disenfranchised far right a scapegoat ( the reconquista) when even Hilary and Bill can’t be blamed and knowing the angry disenfranchised far left will see them as fellow victims. Meanwhile Lori Berenson languishes in a Peruvian prison, the murderers of Terence Frietas and his two companions go unpunished and drug lords reap windfall profits at the expense of the environment, local cultures and our own public health. Edward Abbey was right. We need to great every illegal immigrant, regardless of national origin with a free rifle and case of ammunition and point them in the opposite direction.

That’s right. Human duplicity is slowly being reduced, but not fast enough. America is a primary source.

Last week, a pair of think tanks provided a valuable snapshot on how the population’s growth has been dispersed across the fruited plain. And some of the findings may surprise you. A joint research study by the Pew Hispanic Center and the Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy reports that the Hispanic population has spread across the United States faster and more completely than many researchers imagined. The study finds that while metropolitan areas like New York, Los Angeles and Dallas still account for the largest increases of Hispanics in sheer numbers, the fastest and more dramatic rates of growth are found in mid-sized cities like Las Vegas and Portland, Ore. For instance, the Hispanic population of Dallas grew by 324 percent from 1980 to 2000. That is more than the 211 percent increase in the Hispanic population of Houston, or the 261 percent boost in Phoenix. But it pales in comparison to what the study calls "hypergrowth" destinations like Nashville, which clocks in with Hispanic growth of 630 percent, or Raleigh, N.C., which led the nation with a whopping 1,180 percent growth in its Hispanic population over the last 20 years. The changing face of America is now evident not just in big cities, but also in small towns and suburbs. Fifty-four percent of Hispanics now reside in the suburbs. That means that those who live in America’s suburbs, including those in North Texas, no longer can afford to think of immigrant waves as an urban phenomenon. Suburban hospitals, schools, police and other service providers need to brace themselves for the many challenges that come from serving an immigrant-heavy population. If they have not encountered those challenges yet, they soon will. The same goes for the nation as a whole. The Hispanic population remains a vibrant and highly productive element of our society. But the levels of growth in recent years have been so sudden, and so extreme, that it would be understandable if many Americans have been caught off-guard. All the more reason that studies like this are important. After all, it is a lot easier to plan the road ahead if you have a map of where you are. Every person concerned about the damage done by population growth should go on the political warpath today. Phil
