Nothing that would be considered savory...or humane. But more border guards are the best place to start, probably double the amount of guards are necessary.

Ryu takes the mexican border. And Kratos... takes Canada!

They should both take Mexico, Americans probably go to Canada more for medicine than Canadians come here lol.  The thing is, Mexico has an unbelievably long border with us.  It is very hard to patrol it, which led to the country lolling at whoever had the idea of building a wall the whole distance haha.  I remember the joke was that the people who would do it best, fastest and cheapest were the ones the wall was supposed to keep out.  And now with this Arizona thing......immigration is a touchy subject.  Not only the logistics of blocking a border of thousands of miles, but the political ramaifications of a big move could be big.

Yeah, it's a war of well.... accuracy vs usefulness vs political correctness vs common sense.

A bunch of hispanic people get upset that hispanic isn't a race, and just get confused when they get to race.  At the same time other hispanic people dislike the hispanic or latino race option because they see themselves as white, or black or "native american" or a combination of them all.

The pure statistions don't want latino/hispanic as a race, because technically, it isn't.  Jewish isn't a race either and isn't a selection because of it.  Jewish people are supposed to put "middle eastern."

People who want to use the stats for stuff want hispanic as a race because it DOES matter a lot culturally.  A white person of europeon decent and a white person of hispanic descent are going to vary greatly.

Spanish americans HATE the term hispanic because hispanic is basically spanish and hate it as a race because they see themselves as white.  They hate the term in general because most people want them NOT to put it even though hispanic fundamentaly means "from spain".

Latino, some groups of spanish people depending on country don't like, while others perfer and vice versa for hispanic.   Because they aren't from spain or "latin" in different cases.

So yeah, it's an issue that generally probably won't be solved anytime soon.

What's funny is that the census is important to not only know how the poulation is changing, but to predict future political issues and possible outcomes.  The people who DO want it on a cultural basis would be helping attain this goal, no?  I mean, the cultural aspect is what determines political belief often times.  It seems like it could be practical, but I can also see why this is an issue *head hurts* lol.

P.S.  Do you think "political correctness" and "usefulness" are at the biggest odds with each other?

Yeah, it's... confusing to say the least.

I actually gave out the census for a few months.  Half the time the people don't even know what to put cause a lot of them don't even have much of a frame of refrence for white or black.

Espiecally hispanic people.

I mean you can have your average "regular" hispanic family can give birth to a girl that looks irish, and then have a boy that looks african american. The actual races you can choose from don't really reflect them in my opinion...

If I was hispanic since multiple options are availble i'd go with white black & native american... but i mean, that's a lot to ask for most people to put down and know or want to put down.

They've been saying that for years. I remember them talking about that a good 3-5 yrs ago. lol

Hey man, it takes months just to make a bebe, these things take time :P .  This is assuming birth rates and immigration rates are steady for many years though, so the date is variable. 

Which of those cities are Republican leaning? At any rate, the racial divides aren't surprising to me. It's hard to to reverse the effects of institutionalized racism in less than half a century. I think economic status also plays a role in integration as well.

Here's another example of a major city that's still racially divided and probably will be for a long time.

Excerpt:

Chicago is an old city; its long history is at the root of the problem. Institutional segregation was at first enforced by law and by force. One hundred years ago, these systems and laws created parts of the city for not only particular races, but also for ethnic groups as well.

When institutional segregation came under greater and greater legal pressure, it gave away to subtler, but very effective techniques for maintaining segregation such as red lining and steering.

Yea, it's why I said leaning.. means less democrat then other cities. I also just based that on the fact that Texas always goes Republican. Didn't really take the time to see if these cities are any different then any other city.

I probably should have done that, but it was late :)
