I’m talking about the present Hispanic population in the US, not future projections.

You don't seem to comprehend the data in the links I sent to you. Did you read them?

The dimensions of the Hispanic baby boom are startling. The Hispanic birthrate is twice as high as that of the rest of the American population. That high fertility rate—even more than unbounded levels of immigration—will fuel the rapid Hispanic population boom in the coming decades.

I’m talking about the present Hispanic population in the US, not future projections. They are now about 14% of the total, or around 42 million.

Three Possible Causes of Biggest U.S. Population Boom Ever

present Hispanic population in the US, not future projections. They are now about 14% of the total, or around 42 million.

According to official census estimated figures for 2007, there are 45,504,311 million Latino/Hispanics of all races, which equates to 15% based on a 2007 population of 301,621,157. The current estimated population of the US is 304,860,195 based on the Census bureau population clock, which estimates we gain one net migrant every 30 seconds and one net person every 10 seconds.

“You don’t seem to comprehend the data in the links I sent to you. Did you read them?”

You don’t seem able to comprehend that I am talking about what has happened in the past 15 or 20 years, not projections into the future. My original statement involved what has happened since the Passage of NAFTA in 1993, and since implementation of Simpson-Mizzoli in 1987.

The 12 -20 million estimated illegal aliens (overwhelmingly Hispanic) make up about 1/3 of the Hispanics in the US, and they have largely entered the US in the past 15 to 20 years, and illegal aliens account for the biggest portion of the increase in Hispanics during those previous 15 to 20 years.

That’s all I’ve said, and it is correct.
