The skyrocketing growth of Latinos in the U.S., once driven by
immigration, is now fueled by births, chiefly by Mexicans and
Mexican-Americans, according to a new analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data..

The size of the country's fastest-growing group has increased 43% since
2000, and more than doubled since 1990, to 50.5 million last year, when
Hispanics accounted for nearly one in six U.S. residents and for 23% of
people under the age of 18.

In the last decade, nearly 60% of that growth came from births rather
than new immigrants, the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan think tank,
said in a study released Thursday.

"That is a real reversal from what we have seen in the past," said Mark
Lopez, co-author of the report and associate director of the Pew
Hispanic Center.

Population changes are going to shove the GOP right down the toilet.



I sure hope the regular posters in here that appeared to have problems
with Latinos read this.
As previously predicted... Latinos will have a greater say where
America goes in the future.
