CLARK COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT: Hispanic students outnumber whites

Las Vegas, the fastest growing city in America!

Hispanic students outnumber white students for the first time in the 50-year history of the Clark County School District, according to the latest figures from the district.

Hispanics make up 38.8 percent of the district's student population, with 117,496 students. The district has 113,430 white students, or 37.5 percent.

Last school year, white students accounted for 39.3 percent of the district's population, compared with 37 percent Hispanic students.

The demographic shift caps a booming Hispanic student population in Clark County that has been on the increase since 1980. That year, Hispanics represented only 5.3 percent of district students. A decade later, the Hispanic population had grown to 12.1 percent.

Superintendent Walt Rulffes approached the development with caution, saying the changing face of the district could place additional burdens on a school system in which many Hispanics struggle to grasp the English language.

4. That's what happens when there's an abundance of low-paying

low-skilled jobs "available".

These jobs attract YOUNG people who are more likely to have children.

The physical labor jobs need young strong bodies. Young people procreate.. It's just a fact!

The construction industry creates the need for schools. they build the houses that bring more families to a community, they hire the young people who also have families, and who move there for the work.

If the employees of the construction companies are UNION, and well paid, they are also buyers of the homes built, BUT if they are a transient labor pool who are paid sub-par wages under the table, they still live in the communities, but cannot "buy" into the system they are building..

Blame the employers..

"Cheap, boomtown housing" has hidden costs.

5. Actually, this has been projected for CA ever since I can remember.

Not all of us are here illegally working construction jobs, you know. :)

6. True, but when there's a building boom, lots of people arrive

ready to work whatever jobs they can find, and the construction boom leads the way:)

It happened to my community (once the fastest growing place in the US) and we saw schools popping up like mushrooms..
and of course soon after, we got "big-box stores", tons of traffic, and all that goes with "city-fication"..:cry:

7. don't forget the cheap casino/hotel/restaurant jobs ...

9. But, don't you think SoCalDem, that we're conflating two

different things?

One is the harvest of empire, i.e., Latino immigration. If we really didn't want Latino immigration, we would stop perverting their elections, assassinating their democratic leaders, subverting their progressive governments, training mercenaries to torture, kidnap and slaughter the people. No?

The other thing we're talking about is the current American business model. We know we have to try to resuscitate Labor and kick some multinational @ss but how is the problem.

This country will be a non white country in the more near than far future. It already is in some areas and I suppose people who are unaware of this will go through all the stages of shock amplified by government hate mongering propaganda as the corporations tries to set us against each other while they rob us all blind.
