The politics of the 2020 census
La Voz
How do you stop a locomotive from gaining speed and power? The Latino population is that engine—the one that has propelled the U.S. population over the last several decades. Despite accounting for less than 4 percent of the nation’s population in 1970, Latinos would go on to account for almost two of every five of the nearly 122.7 million persons added to the U.S. population between 1970 and 2017. In Texas, while there were approximately 4.5 whites for every 1 Latino in 1970, Latinos are projected to outnumber whites by 2022. Awesome numbers, indeed. The kinds of figures that make many whites and the largely white Republican Party very uneasy.

Cada vez llegan menos mexicanos a Estados Unidos, a pesar de lo que diga Trump
The Conversation España
Érase una vez, no hace mucho, una época en la que los mexicanos dominaban el flujo migratorio hacia los EE. UU. La migración mexicana aumentó durante gran parte del siglo XX y hasta el inicio del siglo XXI. Pero ya no es así. El número de migrantes mexicanos cayó durante la recesión económica y sigue disminuyendo incluso después de que la economía estadounidense se haya recuperado.

Far Fewer Mexican Migrants are Coming to the US—and Those Who Do are More Educated
The Conversation
Once upon a time, not long ago, Mexicans dominated the flow of migrants coming to the U.S. Mexican migration expanded over the course of much of the 20th century and into the start of the 21st century. That is no longer the case. The number of Mexican migrants fell during the economic recession and has continued to fall further after the U.S. economy recovered.

Federal workers are Trump's latest pawns in pursuit of a border wall
Dallas Morning News
Ever since Donald Trump campaigned for the presidency, he has had that dastardly wall that he wants to erect on our southern border as a major priority. He has used a litany of people as pawns in his machination to build the wall.

Don't deport Venezuelans. Grant them temporary U.S. visas
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
The number of Venezuelans coming to the United States to escape the festering political and economic crises in their country is soaring. As Venezuela falls into deeper chaos and the Trump administration steps up its hostility toward immigrants, their future in the U.S. is uncertain. In the end, deporting Venezuelans will only aggravate the humanitarian crisis the U.S. government says it’s trying to solve. In the absence of more stable alternative solutions, TPS for Venezuelans makes sense and is urgently needed.

Donald Trump's hands are covered in blood
Latino Rebels
Donald Trump, the provocateur of hate and racism, has been playing with fire. Over the last several years, as a presidential candidate and now president, Trump has gushed hate-filled rhetoric and has stoked the racism of his rabid supporters. He has coddled white nationalists who have been increasingly emboldened, especially with a supportive ally in the White House. Last week, the smoldering cauldron that Trump has been stirring turned to fire. Over the course of seven days, three white men picked up deadly guns and carried out mass killings in Gilroy, California, El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. The result: 34 people savagely killed and 63 wounded. Trump did not pull the trigger, but his irresponsible words and deeds contributed to this carnage. He cannot deny his role or walk away and hide from the latest mayhem. Trump’s hands are covered in the blood of the innocent people killed and wounded over these seven days.

The US white majority will soon disappear forever
The Conversation
Since the settlement of Jamestown in 1607 and the start of the Colonial period, the U.S. has been predominantly white. But the white share of the U.S. population has been dropping, from a little under 90% in 1950 to 60% in 2018. It will likely drop below 50% in another 25 years. White nationalists want America to be white again. But this will never happen. America is on its way to becoming predominantly nonwhite.

Demography of Race and Ethnicity
Handbook of Population (2nd ed.) [Edited by Dudley L. Poston, Jr.]
One of the most permanent features of the United States is racial and ethnic stratification. Race and ethnicity are important dimensions in understanding the demography of the United States, for racial and ethnic groups vary tremendously with respect to population composition, population processes, and their life chances and access to opportunity structures. This chapter focuses on the demography of racial and ethnic groups and consists of four main sections. First, the conceptualization, substantive concerns, and relevance of race and ethnicity to demography are examined. Second, we provide an overview of theoretical perspectives that have been used to understand racial and ethnic groups. Third, the methodological issues related to the study of race and ethnicity are discussed along with key empirical findings. Finally, directions for future research are discussed, and a few research areas that merit attention are highlighted.

Racist-in-Chief
Latino Rebels
Donald Trump is undeniably a racist. There, that was not so hard to do. Despite his racist behavior on the campaign trail and now as president, the mainstream American public, including traditional Democrat politicians, have either refused to acknowledge Trump’s racism or have simply bitten their tongue. It took a racist, hate-filled tweet berating four Democrat congressional women of color several weeks ago to shake significant portions of the American mainstream out of its stupor.
