U.S. Hispanic population to triple by 2050 - USATODAY.com
Nearly one in five Americans will have been born outside the USA vs. one in eight in 2005. Sometime between 2020 and 2025, the percentage of foreign-born will surpass the historic peak reached a century ago during the last big immigration wave. New immigrants and their children and grandchildren born in the USA will account for 82% of the population increase from 2005 to 2050.
Whites who are not Hispanic, now two-thirds of the population, will become a minority when their share drops to 47%. They made up 85% of the population in 1960.
Hispanics, already the largest minority group, will more than double their share of the population to 29%
Blacks will remain 13% of the population. Asians will go to 9% from 5%
This raises some questions. Do you all see blacks and Hispanics joining together or will the Hispanics push for their own rights apart from other minorities?
How do things change with white non-Hispanics being a minority?
