This came as a reading tip from a friend and it’s so good I’m posting it just as he sent it. I didn’t add a thing because it’s a complete story.

The pro-open borders, pro-sanctuary city Houston Chronicle’s editorial staff is exultant this morning. Federal government indifference to porous borders, national security, and national sovereignty, has led to the radical makeover of America’s 4th largest city — Houston, Texas. It’s tantamount to a tectonic cultural makeover.
Here’s the article
A telling excerpt:
70 percent of Houstonians over the age of 60 are Anglo.
75 percent of Houstonians under the age of 30 are non-Anglo, mostly Hispanic.
The conclusion is obvious. In a few years Houston will be a predominantly Hispanic city.
The fly in the ointment: seems the illegal immigration-fueled, exponential growth in the Latino population has a downside concomitant. Most do not earn high school diplomas and most refuse to learn English. If Houston becomes a municipal equivalent of a 3rd world country, how does that bode well for the rest of the nation. The vast majority of Angelenos today (predominantly Hispanic) cannot even read a bus schedule. Fact is, as early as 2004, 53% of Los Angeles’ citizens were functionally illiterate and the problem there has grown far more acute, owing to runaway illegal immigration.

Meanwhile, and the editorial board of the Houston Chronicle appears unconcerned, this:
Texas Cable New
An excerpt:
Three years ago, a group of well-trained MS-13 gang members wearing black FBI shirts executed several home invasions in the Houston area.
Then, one night in November of 2005, real agents were waiting for the home invaders. In a hail of gunfire, two gang members were killed and two others wounded.
Thirty-six months later, home invasions across the country are on the rise. In Houston, investigators believe a Colombian gang is targeting the wealthy.
The latest home invasion happened in the upscale community of Piney Point Village at about 2 p.m. on July 24. A high school student home for the summer heard a knock at the door.
When he went to answer the door, three men barged in. At least one of the men had a gun.
They took the family safe and some electronics. The teen told investigators all three robbers communicated with each other in Spanish.
It would appear that “representative democracy” is failing us.

It’s happening all over the country. People tend to forget that there are 30 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and overwhelmingly they are dirt poor Hispanics from Central and South America that simply walked across the border.
Today, twelve percent of the total population of Mexico lives in the U.S.
With those numbers, it’s easy to see they can’t all be living in border states. Massive numbers of illegal aliens are in Florida, the Carolinas, the Dakotas, Chicago, New England, everywhere, and even where local police try to enforce the law, they are ill-equipped to identify the organized criminals.
