What factor is going to contribute more to the growth of Hispanic population in US: births or immigration?
608033
both will contribute equally. becaue births increaste the rate as the amount of babies being born to hispanics. and immigrants increase it by as many as they come to this country daily.

Our best estimate is that 383,000, or 42 percent, of births to immigrants are to illegal alien mothers. Thus births to illegals now account for nearly 1 out of every 10 births in the United States.\n\nThe National Research Council has estimated that the net fiscal cost of immigration ranges from $11 billion to $22 billion per year, with most government expenditures on immigrants coming from state and local coffers, while most taxes paid by immigrants go to the federal treasury. The net deficit is caused by a low level of tax payments by immigrants, because they are disproportionately low-skilled and thus earn low wages, and a higher rate of consumption of government services, both because of their relative poverty and their higher fertility. \n\nThis is especially true of illegal immigration. Even though illegal aliens make little use of welfare, from which they are generally barred, the costs of illegal immigration in terms of government expenditures for education, criminal justice, and emergency medical care are significant. California has estimated that the net cost to the state of providing government services to illegal immigrants approached $3 billion during a single fiscal year. The fact that states must bear the cost of federal failure turns illegal immigration, in effect, into one of the largest unfunded federal mandates.

This is a hard question. It is a lot easier to identify those doing GOOD hispanic outreach - there are a lot fewer of these. In essence, no outreach is bad outreach.\n\ncc

We're already seeing the changes as we go to a Hispanic majority; everything is printed in two languages, IVR systems all have the choice for Spanish speaking customers,\nthere is a bigger push to embrace & celebrate Spanish/Hispanic culture.

Below are the results of the 2000 U.S. census which came from the provided link.\n\nMarch 13, 2001\n"The country's Hispanic population mushroomed by 58 percent from 1990 to 2000, making it the fastest growing minority group and underscoring 'the changing diversity of the United States,' the U.S. Census Bureau reported this week." \n\nThe 1990 and 2000 U.S. Census Bureau did not consider Latino/Hispanic to be a race.   The U.S. Census Bureau considers people of Hispanic background as "CAUCASIAN (WHITE) of hispanic ethnicity (culture)" (paraphrased).  In other words, "Hispanic/Latino" is not considered a race by the U.S. Census Bureau.\n\nYour question would be similar to someone living in the 1890's, during the time of German immigration, asking when the Germans would become a majority.\n\n11/18\nFYI. . .The U.S. Census Bureau counts ALL people (illegal and legal immigrants) in the census.  The individual answers on the census remain CONFIDENTIAL FOR 70 YEARS and there is no sharing of INDIVIDUAL answers with other governmental agencies during that 70 yr period.

If all parts are implemented, I think it will make illegal immigration much harder to get away with in the future.  However, legal immigration will be greatly increase. I guess the net difference will be that it will be easier to keep out criminals and terrorist suspects, and will be easier to track and police immigrants in our country.\n\nMy problem is the gap in time before the infrastructure is in place.

Well let's see. Hmm- the Hispanic population is growing by leaps and bounds, so that's one. We seem to have many people from India coming over as well as many from Asia. There you go- that's 3.

31% of legal Mexican households in the US are on welfare.  Think how much this will cost when their population doubles, triples? Less producers of tax funds and more consumers. Bye-bye Miss American pie.\n\nOnly 39% of Hispanic males here in Dallas earn a high school diploma. There's NO WAY this nation can remain competitive with that kind of population.

More births than deaths per year leads to population growth.\n\nIncreased human longevity; improved healthcare; reduced child mortality.\n\nCordially,\nJohn\nhttp://www.GodSci.org\n[God and Science]

tell me about it i lve in california and our state is now 45% hispanic/latino(not including illegals)\nthis population tends to not assimilate(low literacy,low school attendance rates, gangs)\nand the while the turnover rates for whites,blacks and asians is even, meaning that a couple (2 people) will have between 1-2 children depending on the group; these populations do not see a growth in subsequent generations.\n\nthe latinos have on average of almost four children, meaning the next generation will be double that of the previous

I completely agree with you, it was a win-win situation. Besides, immigration is what has made this country the economic Juggernaut that it is as well as keeping us vital.

No we fear the growth of criminals not Hispanics. The people that have came here legally are among the most patriotic people in the country.

I'm guessing this is about the transcontinental railroad.  If thats the case, it caused more immigration by...\n1. Directly creating jobs, many immigrants migrated and worked for the railroad industry.\n2. The Railroad industry itself allowed many other jobs across the US to be created due to the shipping of materials and goods to factories (which before weren't possible because there were no means of transportation.)  The materials used in factories allowed for faster production, which lead to the need for more workers, which lead to many immigrants coming to the US to work for low wages.

Increased immigration means more competition for low-skill jobs, and so low-skill jobs pay less.  This is bad for the existing poor, but may be good overall, as prices for goods and services are lower.\n\nLegal immigrants are screened for, among other things, what strain they might put on the government services.  This is the killer for the US.  It takes ten immigrants to pay enough taxes to put one immigrant in school, or to pay hospital fees for one baby to be born in a US hospital.  In California, emergency rooms can't afford to stay open, and schools are stretched to the limit with students who often have never been to school before, let alone can speak English.\n\nAnd we pay for those services in our taxes.  Those increased taxes are the drain of the US economy.  That money could be spent on more goods and services, or invested, but instead is used to provide services that should be provided by the wealthy, yet corrupt, Mexican government.
