:::: For many years, the predominantly liberal media discussed Latino/Hispanic people will soon be the majority of Americans in terms of racial/ethnic composition. The article's map of the percentage of Latinos in the Southwest USA makes it appear that they dominate the western half of the country, but emphasized the reason was from the historical Mexican cession of 1848 to the U.S. explains why such a high Latino population exists in the region.

"What was a trickle became a flood as the latest invasion of Latin American newcomers into Los Angeles is turning the US' 3rd largest city into a Spanish-speaking majority city by the end of the century (year 2000). The development is called Another [[Quebec]] named for the Canadian province where today French is the sole official language." + [[User:Getitstraight|Getitstraight]] 11:08, 14 December 2009 (EST)
