Census: ‘Hispanics’ In US Top 50 Million

Of course such a question never occurs to the journalists of the AP. Indeed, the word ‘illegal’ does not even appear in this article. The closest we get is "immigrant":
But in addition to deciding political apportionment, Census figures are also used to dole out federal funds based on population. So it is definitely in the interest of the states to attract as many illegal aliens as they can.
Since the goal of the 2010 Census was to count all persons physically present in the country, we have no idea how many of these people are here illegally.
New census milestone: Hispanics to hit 50 million

WASHINGTON – In a surprising show of growth, Hispanics accounted for more than half of the U.S. population increase over the last decade, exceeding estimates in most states. Pulled by migration to the Sun Belt, America’s population center edged westward on a historic path to leave the Midwest.
The Census Bureau on Thursday will release its first set of national-level findings from the 2010 count on race and migration, detailing a decade in which rapid minority growth, aging whites and increased suburbanization were the predominant story lines…
Racial and ethnic minorities are expected to make up an unprecedented 90 percent of the total U.S. growth since 2000, due to immigration and higher birth rates for Latinos.
Based on 2010 census data that has been released so far on a state-by-state basis, the number of Hispanics is now at roughly 47 million with figures for New York, Maine and the District of Columbia to come later Thursday. The 2009 census data estimated the Hispanic count in those places at over 3 million, putting Hispanics on track to exceed 50 million. Demographers widely believe the 50 million threshhold [sic] will be reached, with a total count close to 50.5 million.
Currently the fastest growing group, Hispanics now comprise 1 in 6 Americans; among U.S. children, Hispanics are roughly 1 in 4.
Of course such a question never occurs to the journalists of the AP. Indeed, the word ‘illegal’ does not even appear in this article. The closest we get is "immigrant":
According to a Pew Hispanic Center analysis, the 2010 count of Hispanics was on track to be 900,000 higher than expected as their ranks surpassed census estimates in roughly 40 states. Many of their biggest jumps were in the South, including Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina and Louisiana, where immigrants made large inroads over the last decade…"Where immigrants made large inroads," we suspect is code word for ‘where the number of illegal aliens really skyrocketed.’
The number of non-Hispanic whites, whose median age is now 41, edged up slightly to 197 million. Declining birth rates meant their share of the total U.S. population dropped over the last decade from 69 percent to roughly 64 percent.Can’t you just feel the excitement? To borrow from that old spiritual, ‘we shall be overcome.’
"This really is a transformational decade for the nation," said William H. Frey, a demographer at Brookings Institution who has analyzed most of the 2010 data. "The 2010 census shows vividly how these new minorities are both leading growth in the nation’s most dynamic regions and stemming decline in others."
"They will form the bulk of our labor-force growth in the next decade as they continue to disperse into larger parts of the country," he said.And fortunately the work ethic is so very strong in the Hispanic population. So America’s vaunted productivity can only go up.
The final figures come as states in the coming months engage in the contentious process of redrawing political districts based on population and racial makeup, with changes that analysts believe will result in more Hispanic-majority districts.Which, of course, is the reason Democrats have thrown open our borders, and why they will never allow anyone to close them ever again.
The population changes will result in a shift of 12 House seats and electoral votes affecting 18 states beginning in the 2012 elections. Most of the states picking up seats, which include Texas and Florida, are Republican-leaning, even as most of their growth is now being driven largely by Democrat-leaning Hispanics.
But in addition to deciding political apportionment, Census figures are also used to dole out federal funds based on population. So it is definitely in the interest of the states to attract as many illegal aliens as they can.
Among other findings:What is the Spanish word for ‘yippee’?
– In at least 10 states, the share of children who are minorities has already passed 50 percent, up from five states in 2000. They include Mississippi, Georgia, Maryland, Florida, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, California, New Mexico and Hawaii.
– Over the last decade, Latino population growth was most rapid in the South, where many states have seen their Latino populations double since 2000. For the first time, Hispanic population growth outpaced that of blacks and whites in the region, changing the South’s traditional "black-white" image.
