I heard today on radio it is estimated that 50% of the kids of Hispanic immigrants will be overweight<g> That would sure speed up the bankruptcy of the US medical system<g>.

Undoubtedly a lot of progress has been done to change the US from a majority of transplanted Europeans, who metamorphose into something else, ak.a the melting pot into a sui generis society. The South Americans are bringing to the US the idea that we have in Brazil: We create a new civilization rather than morphing Europeans into Americans. Now compare with those Brits missing the Queen of England, on the North, they have a long way to go!!!

looks like we had a large out flow of jobs long before Bush took office. "Cicero, a gritty factory town that once claimed fame as Al Capone's headquarters. Originally populated mostly by Czechs, Poles, and Slovaks, the Chicago suburb started decaying in the 1970s as factories closed and residents fled in search of jobs. Then a wave of young Mexican immigrants drove the population to its current Hispanic dominance, up from 1% in 1970."
