"Almost 1 of 2 new Americans in 2008 was Latino"

Are these legal immigrants we're counting?

I believe I saw a statistic that 40% of births in 2008 were out of wedlock,

ie, future criminals.

If they were illegal, they wouldn't be "new Americans".

“Are these legal immigrants we're counting?”

These are the people who are becoming naturalized citizens. They would have to be legal to become citizens. These people went through the long and difficult process, paid all sorts of fees, did the things they were supposed to do, were found to be of good moral character, etc. It took them many years to reach the point that they were allowed to take the oath of citizenship.
