And immigrants aren’t the reason why there will be a demographic shift in the first place. Baby Boomer whites are the largest population of Americans, right now, and they are getting old, and not having kids. When these pass off in the next ten to twenty years, that will mostly leave a population of Gen Z young adults, of color, who will just begin to start having kids. No amount of punishing immigrants is going to change that, and there are simply not enough white women willing to become brood mares, to stop that shift in population.

The generation after 2010, which includes my niece and nephew, are now 8 and nine years old, and in ten years, they’ll will be able to vote. I wonder who they’ll be voting for?

Also, this too shall pass! As horrifically shitty as human beings are acting right now, this too will pass. The. Browning of America is simply inevitable, and due to forces we cannot control. Most of the loudest and wrongest people will be dead in ten to twenty years. No, it’s not going to be a utopia, because something else equally horrible will be happening, but things are going to get very, very different, just in the next ten. We will keep moving forward.
