Whites in America will be a minority by 2050 by Corina Ciubotaru

One in ten counties in the United States is now dominated by non-whites. Be it Blacks, Asians or Latinos, people wanting a better life for themselves can be found all across the country, some working legally, some illegally. The U.S. is an immigration state and the idea that people of all races come together somewhere is basically what the country is all about; if you think about it, the whites now threatening immigrants are also children of people than came to America by boat hundreds of years ago, seeking new jobs and properties. It was the land of all opportunities; for some it still is and it's not right to take their dream away like that.Latinos are the biggest minority now and also the fastest growing one. Blacks make up around 40 percent of the total population, and Asians come third in the most numerous minorities list, but they are second in growth rate. California has the largest number of immigrants of all American states and their number has strongly helped the state increase in size in recent years. Houston and Chicago now have loads of immigrants, Blacks and Asians respectively. It seems living legally is the biggest challenge for immigrants and the government now wants to make it even harder by prohibiting their access to the healthcare system and other public services. But what some fail to realize is that these people actually help the economy by doing jobs nobody else wants and some fill up positions abandoned by whites moving away from city centers. We should take a moment and think where would America be without them?
