Studies are showing that whites are now the minorities in one in ten U.S. counties. These studies were done by the Census Bureau and their reports have population estimates by race and ethnicity for every county in the U.S. This is the first estimate done since Hurricane Katrina hit, which made many people scatter throughtout the nation. This increased diversity has putting a strain on race relations and in some places its starting a backlash in many communities on immigrants. I think that it is wrong for people to get mad at the immigrants for this because the diversity is going to increase in this nation whether anyone likes it or not. If youre going to blame the hispanic immigrants than you might as well blame everyone else to.

Unless you are a Native American Indian, we're all immigrants. American was built by immigrants. America has always been viewed as the land of opportunity, dreams of a better life. We will always be a melting-pot.
