Palm Beach, Fla. — A new national survey shows that the Latino population in the U.S. rose 47 percent from 2000 to 2011 and that the rate of growth in Florida was even higher — 62 percent.

The Pew Research Hispanic Center in Washington, a respected demographic research institute, found that the Latino population in the U.S. during those 11 years swelled from 35.2 million to 51.9 million. The total U.S. population as of 2011 was 311.6 million, meaning that 16.7 percent of people living in the U.S. were Latino, compared to 12.5 percent in 2000.

And that percentage is expected to increase. Of all births in the U.S. in 2011, 23.1 percent were to Latino women.

The 2011 numbers are based on the American Community Survey, conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, which surveyed 3 percent of the households in the U.S. and extrapolated total numbers from those interviews. The households were contacted during 2011, and the numbers were compiled over the past year.

Actually it's quite believable. They are younger and have bigger families.
Several states are already majority Hispanic.
And with amnesty every so many years we increase the Hispanic population via import.

Its as much the fault of the rich as it is the illegals. Jesus Christ on a popcycle stick, Drug dealers would not be here if the rich kids did not buy pot and cocaine, If the rich did not hire them to mow the lawns or shingle the roofs or wash the dishes they would not be here. The rich and business class are the ones who create the jobs that they jump the river to get.

Then you are an anti-American, law breaking fool. They are no bargain when you add in their social costs in the form of added taxes and the loss of American jobs.

And the fact that the dominant European-American culture is literally being displaced by a foreign one.
