17、 can confidently predict one finding. Americas Hispanic population, which is expected to come in at almost 16% of the total, will have overtaken its black population, likely to be put at around 2. 5 percentage points less, with Asians listing the last, only 2.9 percent. In 2000, the last time this c
18、ount was performed, 12.5% of the population was Hispanic, and 12.9% African-American. Thanks to rapid immigration, legal and illegal, and a large stock of young people with a high birth-rate, Americas Latino population has grown twice as fast over the past decade as either its white or black populat
19、ion: and the gap is going to keep on widening. Half the babies in Texas, for instance, are born to Latina mothers, even though Latinos make up under 40% of that states population.

22、northeast will be the losers. The Hispanic-rich border region will gain. Americas Hispanics, unlike its blacks, have traditionally failed to punch at their true weight. In the current House of Representatives in Washington D.C. , there are only 26 Hispanics, about 6% of the total: there are 41 Afric
23、an-Americans, much closer to their share of the population. Hispanic senators have been few and far between, as have Hispanic governors. One reason is that Hispanics have at least until recently been poorly organised. But this is changing. The Hispanic voter-turnout rate increases at every election.
24、 It hit 50% in 2008, up from 47% in 2004. though that is still a lot less than the 66% recorded by non-Hispanic whites or the 65% by blacks. In a fair number of keenly contested states, the Hispanic population in effect holds the balance of power: and as long as they continue to vote solidly Democra
