In 1970, the Hispanic population of the United States was 4.7%. In 2010, the Hispanic population was estimated to have increased to 15.5%, and it is projected that by 2050 will be 24.4% of our nation's population. From the year, 2000 to 2006 Hispanics accounted for one-half of the nation's population growth and three times the growth rate of total US population. On average Hispanics have, 2.23 children per household were as combined all races in the US average only 1.75 children per household.
These statistics from the U.S. Census lead me to believe that it's just a matter of time before Hispanics become the majority in the United States.
