The Census Bureau has confirmed that white births are no longer a majority in the United States, the New York Times is reporting. Non-Hispanic whites made up 49.6 percent of all births, in the 12-month period ending last July. Minorities, including Hispanics, blacks, Asians and those of mixed races, reached 50.4 percent, representing a majority for the first time in American history.

This turn in majority has been long expected. However, there wasn’t an anticipated moment when it would actually occur. The increase in minority births comes after the large increase in immigration over the past three decades. The largest immigration group is the Hispanics, who tend to have more children than non-Hispanic whites.

While whites will remain in the majority for some time, as they still represent the single largest share of all births. The group has a majority in the population as a whole, at 63.4 percent.

Whites are no longer the majority in four states and the District of Columbia, and have slipped below half in such metro areas as New York, Las Vegas and Memphis. A more diverse younger population puts a generational divide with the country’s elderly, which is largely white.

    THE LIES
    KEEP COMING? SPEAK-UP!

     

    The mandated
    E-Verify law is being exposed to the public eye once again, with increased
    resistance from GOP House speaker, John Boehner of
    Ohio and Dave Camp of Michigan, who is Chairman of the powerful Ways and Means
    Committee. Americans must insist these lawmakers stop blocking the 50-state H.R.2885 – Chairman Smith’s
    ‘Legal Workforce Act’. The E-Verify bill, should concern
    every jobless citizens and legal residents, as if implemented on a national
    scale would reject illegal foreign workers.

     

    On the topic of E-Verify, Sen. Sessions recalled
    something that a Border Patrol agent told GOP Presidential Hopeful Mitt Romney: “The administration has also been resistant to the popular
    E-Verify program, never once including it in any of its jobs or economic plans.
    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, has effectively ended worksite
    enforcement operations, meaning employers can continue to hire illegal workers
    rather than out-of-work Americans. . . .”

     

    They [Border Patrol agents] said “when employers are
    willing to hire people who are here illegally, that’s a magnet, and it draws
    them in. And sanctuary cities, giving tuition breaks to the kids of illegal
    aliens….. Those things also have to be stopped. If we want to secure the
    border, we have to make sure we have a fence, determining where people are,
    enough agents to oversee it, and turn off that magnet. We can’t talk about
    amnesty; we cannot give amnesty to those who have come here illegally”.

     

     Beforehand Sen.
    Sessions delivered a
    speech on the Senate floor calling for an end to the Child Tax Care loophole
    that allows illegal aliens to collect thousands of dollars in tax refunds by
    filing with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).  This has been going on for years. This cannot continue. It must
    be stopped, and fixing it can’t be delayed. The Treasury Department’s own
    inspector general for Tax Administration, who analyzes problems within the
    agency and issues reports, reported that in 2010 the Internal Revenue Service
    paid illegal aliens a staggering $4.2 billion in child tax credits for
    dependents, a great deal of whom don’t even live in the country. This has been
    going on for years. This cannot continue. It must be stopped, and fixing it can’t
    be delayed.

     

    According to a
    WTHR Indianapolis TV station there were four illegal alien workers living in the same
    Trailer park.   Between the four of them,
    they claimed 20 children as dependents, but while investigating the story, only
    one child was seen living at the home. “We found, in many cases, they’re
    getting these tax credits for nieces and nephews and children who aren’t even
    in the United States,” All these people have to do is possess a not from
    the school, which in itself is open to large areas of fraud. Claimed on a federal form 8812, this
    credit is for specific taxpayers who get lesser than full amount of the child
    tax credit. Prior to this outcry by Sen. Sessions, the bill to close the
    loophole has gone nowhere, but now H.R. 1956 has passed the house and need your
    voice to add to the anger and utter frustration. Call the Washington central
    switchboard at 202-224-3121
    and inundate your
    U.S.  Senators and demand this law
    passes, along with mandatory E-Verify and the Birthright Citizenship amendment.

     

    OTHER FOREIGN COUNTRIES POOR ARE
    SMUGGLING THEIR BABIES OVER HERE, FOR U.S. TAXPAYERS TO SUBSIDIZE THEM.

     

    The child
    tax reimbursement is not some kind of loophole for illegal alien workers to use
    to grow their refunds. The IRS rules for eligible children still apply and the
    law is very clear that the credit is limited to those children who are
    classified as “a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or a U.S. resident alien.” All
    others are committing fraud; as was previously discovered years back, when
    prison detainees were caught in the act. This is why we must seriously rethink
    the “Birthright Citizenship” law on the books now. This policy needs to be
    amended,–immediately so no foreign mother who slips past the U.S. border
    Patrol, or lies on their entry form prior to arriving on an international
    flight cannot use the U.S. taxpayers, as their own personal bank account?

     

    This law is
    ridiculously out of date with global travel, as any pregnant female can arrive
    on U.S. soil and claim American citizenship for their new born baby. No change
    in the law is required, just an amendment, so babies born in the jurisdiction
    of the United States–at least one parent must be a citizen. Otherwise the
    annual estimated number of 400.000 newborns entering this country will add up
    in the billions. Once status is claimed, these mothers with babies are eligible
    for food, housing, medical and schooling until the age of 18 including their
    mother. Reported by the Center for Immigration Studies an average annual cost
    per child K-12 is $7,161.00 and exceeds $109 billion annually per cycle of ‘Foothold’
    babies. That’s your taxes given out to the 400,000 mothers and their kids
    annually, gaining a nice little inheritance from Americans.

     

    Is there so
    much money just lying around, as the Solar panel manufacturer “Solyndra’ with 535
    million worth of loan guarantees or the General Service Administration (GSA)
    debacle in Las Vegas and whatever else is out there? How much more money are
    taxpayers supposed to conjure up, without accountability? Illegal Immigration
    unfortunately has adverse consequences on all our lives, but mainly the cost of
    supporting them. $113 billion dollars a year and climbing is a very unhealthy
    situation, when we cannot cater to our own poor.

     

    As I see it
    and millions of Americans, no matter their race, color or faith should join up
    with the TEA PARTY? The outcome is to rid the Congress of those politicians’
    that are obstacles in changing laws detrimental to the welfare, security and
    health of all citizens and residents. Gone already is Richard Lugar, who deliberation
    was no other politician could unseat him, when as a Republican he was siding
    with the Liberals to pass another Amnesty for illegal aliens. Who is next to
    clock out and which state is to be hounded by the Department of Justice for
    protecting their citizens? First it was Arizona, Then Sheriff Joe Arpaio’and
    then Alabama was intimidated? Yet these Liberal czars condoned by Obama, has
    done nothing to stop the emergence of Sanctuary States like California and
    Nevada?

     

    But even so
    we must be on our guard against all future elections, even down to the
    municipal level, as non citizens in large numbers have been discovered in the
    voter rolls in Florida. Democrats no matter the future consequences of the
    citizen’s right to vote have shown indifferent to any new measure to stop any
    ineligible person voting. In fact they have shown no desire to strengthen
    election laws, by insisting that every person who appears to vote has an
    official picture ID? Just by this reluctance for a fair and respect for our
    voting laws, illustrates they don’t care who votes, especially by illegal
    aliens for the left? Read everything you wanted to know about illegal
    immigration, true statistics and more at NumbersUSA and American Patrol.

     

    In addition the National Liberal
    media had reported nationwide, the dwindling of numbers of illegal aliens crossing
    the Southern border. The source was coming from the Pew Hispanic Research
    Center? But the Washington Examiner press negates this as a lie; the original
    data was coming from the Obama Administration.  When conducting interviews with Border Patrol officials
    the numbers are not slowing down.

     

    A Border Patrol official working along the Texas border said
    administration officials are deliberately failing to document what is actually
    happening on the border. “In many cases my supervisors make it clear that they
    don’t want increased apprehension numbers, which means no arrests,” he said.

     

    Saying, “Security is being compromised as the government seeks to
    keep a lid on the border as a campaign issue during the presidential election
    cycle. Department of Homeland Security’s Border Patrol agents and Immigration
    and Customs Enforcement officers are being told not to make arrests of
    noncriminal illegal immigrants and not to patrol areas of high traffic along
    the roughly 2,000-mile Southwest border”.
