NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll, [Nov, 2011]
|

Now, as you may have seen in the news recently, the 2012 Census data shows that United States population grew nearly 10% since 2000, with more than half of that growth coming from the country's Hispanic population. Ethnic or racial minorities now comprise more than one-third of the American population, including nearly half of the population of Americans younger than 18. And the growth in the nation's white population has been slower than nearly all other groups. It has been estimated that this trend will result in minorities outnumbering whites in the US by the year 2042....Thinking about these population changes, which of the following statements do you agree with more?...These trends continue the American tradition of welcoming people of all backgrounds to come to this country and make a better life for their family. Immigrant and minority populations have always shaped American society and have contributed to America's position as the world's biggest economy and the land of opportunity. These trends are troubling because the population change in this country is happening too quickly and causing fundamental changes to the character and values of the United States at a time when the country is already faced with high unemployment and many Americans are living at or below the poverty line.
