The Rise of the New Generation of Latinos

The Latino population is growing, and we can look to nuestros niños as the force behind those numbers.
The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, today released a report that finds that Hispanics now make up more than one-in-five of all children in the United States – up from 9% in 1980 — and as their numbers have grown, their demographic profile has changed.
More than half of the nation’s 16 million Hispanic children are now “second generation,” meaning they are the U.S.-born sons or daughters of at least one foreign-born parent, typically someone who came to this country in the immigration wave from Mexico, Central America and South America that began around 1980. In 1980, a majority of Latino children were “third or higher generation” — the U.S.-born sons or daughters of U.S.-born parents.
Different generations of Latino children experience life in the U.S. in different ways.
How Big is the U.S Latino Population? Depends on Who You Count.

So just how big is this U.S. Latino population that politicians keep talking about? The official number is usually reported is around 45 million. Except, as the National Institute for Latino Policy points out, this excludes about 4 million Latinos, Latinos who are U.S. citizens living in Puerto Rico and the other U.S. territories.
So while Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama kissed Rican ass during primary season, because of the fact that Ricans cannot vote in the regular presidential elections, they are not even counted as part of the U.S. Latino electorate.
Get Ready California : Latinos to Be Majority

The news that Latinos will become California’s majority ethnic group isn’t new news.
The state’s last set of projections, in 2004, predicted it would happen by 2038, but the Finance Department adjusted its predictions to account for longer life expectancies that should keep more elderly whites around in future decades.
So Latinos will be the majority later, by 2042, according to new population projections released Monday. By 2050 52 percent of all Californians will be Latino, and whites will be just 26 percent of the population.
This of course is cause for concern on a number of levels (not including the “his-panic” that many whites may be experiencing)
