Once the Hispanics take over an area and become the majority, they then get elected to office. And when they gain control of the US government, they are then for any policy that can advance their interests of giving themselves power over real Americans, and also bringing in more of their own kind.. This isn’t any kind of planned takeover of the US I’m sure.

In reply to Kathy. KATHY: Sorry, the correct term is illegal aliens, not immigrants. Immigrants enter the country legally, jumping through all the hoops required by law and with the intent of becoming a full, naturalized, English speaking American citizen, to use some of my background, not a Norwegian who became a citizen , not a Norwegian-American, but an American.

Joaquin Castro’s comment that “alien” and “illegal alien” “demonize” and “dehumanize” is a lie and is absurd. I have been an alien and a resident alien and was never humiliated. These are simply proper legal terms that identified me and categorized me and are no more demeaning than “dog’s tail”, cat’s tail”, “rabbit’s tail”, and so on.

I’ve a better idea: change the term to CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIEN and make it an automatic felony with a year and a day sentence, non reducible. Furthermore, they forever forfeit the right to apply for entry and are permanently forbidden from entering the U.S. FOR ANY REASON. Should they be caught again, the law would permit full verification of the person (DNA and retina scans mandatory when first caught), and the information is presented to a Judge who has NO CHOICE but to issue a sentence of death by firing squad, to be done within 24 hours of his issuance.
Those who PROVE a case of asylum are not included. However, they are fast-tracked by the courts, and are held IN CONFINEMENT until their case is adjudicated. If not allowed entry they are immediately released to DHS for immediate return to their country of origin.

In reply to Kathy.

“…why our politicians are supporting immigrants so strongly…”
The US excels at killing off its own population, be that with warring, extreme industrial pollution (Super Fund sites and such) and at times, reckless disregard (legalizing drug pusher big Pharma/opioids). Most recently, most extremely, economically.
The more economically unstable the US becomes (for households) the fewer kids people have and many are choosing to have no kids. 1/3 of those under 35 still live at home. 1/3 of those under 35 have no job.
Just about all of the West/Westernized populations are in decline. Rather than retool the Record Profits economic policies (neoliberalism), they instead have chosen what the UN quaintly calls “Replacement Population” – migrants. Given migrants work for less, that ups GDP (money going to rich people), Wall St, Business Round Table, US Chamber of Commerce, tech industry, big Pharma, big Ag, etc. are all for this idea.
The US is a “nation of immigrants”, and always has been, for importing free to cheap labor, and this spasm of it is no different. Hiring a foreign worker is cheaper labor and new sales of spoons, sheets, cars, etc. etc. The flaw in their grand scheme: No discretionary income, no discretionary income markets. But being as greed is omnivorous, we are in full replay of the 1920s, when the US went bust.
