PHOENIX (Reuters) - For the first time births have overtaken immigration as the main driver of dynamic growth in the U.S. Hispanic population, according to a new study released on Thursday
The Pew Hispanic Center survey found the new trend especially evident among Mexican-Americans, who account for almost two thirds of the U.S. Latino population.
The study, which drew on U.S. Census Bureau data and other government sources, noted the Mexican-American population grew by 7.2 million as a result of births in the decade to 2010, while new immigrants added 4.2 million people.

The study found growth in the Mexican-American population in the 1990s was split equally between births and new immigration, which each added 4.7 million people.
A decade earlier in the 1980s, by contrast, the Mexican-American population gained 3.1 million people through new immigration, while births added another 2.7 million.
The study found the surge in births among Mexican-Americans was largely down to the immigration wave that has brought more than 10 million immigrants to the United States from Mexico since 1970.
Hispanics are the largest and fastest growing minority in the United States, totaling 50.5 million in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Mexican-Americans comprised 63 percent of that total.
A previous Census Bureau projection forecast ethnic and racial minorities in the United States to become the majority by 2050, by which time nearly one in three U.S. residents will be Latino.

Look the other way and pretend you did not see this story. This is a subject not to be discussed by the overlords (both R and D) in Washington.
2050? I’ll be damn near 100 .. or my bones will be anyway. 8-}
Good luck to the rest of you behind me. I’m not sure if I would recommend learning Spanish or Szechuan. maybe both.

There’s more than that in Boyle Heights, for cripes sake...
LOL.. That’s right. We got more important things to ignore.
Remember the same thing was said back in the 70s about Japanese, they were buying everything and were going to take over.
That didn't work out so well.
We know how many illegals fit in a semi-trailer, but how many Chinese will fit in a sea container *-? They tend to be a wee bit smaller than the Latino overall,, I guess time will tell. :-)
Try taking the Red Line from Hollywood to Universal. One stop only...and multiple chikas with strollers get on the line. My buds who work in DT who take the train said this is normal. Actually, they never saw a white woman get on the train with a stroller.
Was involved with that discussion on a jobsite today, they’re about the same. LOL
The hispanic poopulation is growing exponentially in Oregon thanks to the state and federal governments. It’s an explosion. A local hospital here receieves federal funding for delivering the babies of illegal aliens.
Every hispanic female over 18 is walking into the grocery store with a double stroller and 2 other progeny tagging along. They pay for groceries through THREE DIFFERENT funds!
Heaven help the working class if they get caught in line behind these people.
I WISH every congressional member and Obama the same fate as me waiting in line to buy groceries@$^&$!
It’s totally disgusting.
The rest of us are only having the number of kids we can afford.
This country MUST expel ALL NON-CITIZENS and their children.
Let the rich Mexicans pay for their welfare.
IF WE DO NOT expel these people, the United State has NO CHANCE to survive.
There are simply not enough people paying taxes to support illegal entering people and their growing number of children anymore.
The other option would to be to withhold aid to dependent children unless their parents practice BIRTH CONTROL!
And *%^&#*%@ the ACLU.
“Try taking the Red Line from Hollywood to Universal.”
Hahahaha. No. I’d rather go unarmed to see Los Dodgers.
Or to a Mexico/US World Cup game. Mexico is the home team in either city - Mexico or LA.
Yeah it seems to be pretty bad an no one seems to want to deal with the issue.
Illegals game the system. They can have kids without paying anything leading the birth of child, at time of birth, after birth, everything is paid for 100% free of charge. The illegals only part in this is to have the actual child afterwards the taxpayers take over for the next 18 years.This is why they stay below income guidelines.The gov sends food stamps,welfare, etc, in the parents name and they can use the freebies however they please.
