The article that I found about this topic is from The Root. Based on this website, recent U.S census shows that white births are no longer a majority in the United States. Therefore the notion of "the browning of America" has come about. To be honest, this topic is a bit insulting on behalf of those who are of colored skin. With the browing of America, there is the notion of fear amongst the Anglo Saxon race who are afraid the increase of the brown population would have a negative affect on them. Also, there are a bunch of assumptions about these "brown people" that are true but only to an extent and can't be reflected on each individual. One of them being that each "brown person" would be more likely to vote democratic because they do not believe in "American" values. Concerning this issue, the article says,
"Writing for Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum, "Roger" said of the new figures, "It is not a good thing. The immigrants do not share American values, so it is a good bet that they will not be voting Republican when they start voting in large numbers."
On examiner.com, "Political Buzz" columnist Ryan Witt was more blunt: "Simply put, Republicans will find it impossible to win any national election in the future if the current percentages stay the same."
This raises questions such as, "who's to determine what American values are?" and "How is one able to determine weather or not these immigrants will be voting Democrat or Republic?"
