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.

Your German Nazi heritage is showing through there Kruse.


Sorry, asshole...my grandparents were russian and polish.


Both staunch Christians, no doubt.


My maternal grandfather was religious. The other three grandparents, not
at all. All of them, though, became citizens in the shortest time
possible, and thereafter described themselves as "Americans." No
hyphenation. My mother's brother, born in Boston, was KIA during WW II,
before I was born.
