USA TODAY NETWORK Dustin Gardiner and Alison Steinbach, The Arizona Republic Published 8:59 a.m. MT June 14, 2018
An Arizona state lawmaker is under fire after he was filmed saying immigration is an "existential threat" that will change the face of the United States because "there aren't enough white kids to go around."
Rep. David Stringer, R-Prescott, made those comments Monday at the Yavapai County Republican Men's Forum. He said the majority 60 percent of public school students in the state are minorities.
"That complicates racial integration because there aren't enough white kids to go around," Stringer said. "Immigration is politically destabilizing. President Trump has talked about this. Im very concerned about this. Immigration today represents an existential threat to the United States."

for students who have opted for private schools and/or home schooling. That would affect the percentage in public schools as well.
