Latin Americans; those coming from countries south of the United States, especially those speaking Spanish, Portuguese, or French (Dictionary.com, 2016) make up a large portion of the United States. In 2013 Cobo, L., & Cantor-Navas, J., note that Latin Americans were 52 million strong and making up 16.7% of the population further stating Hispanics were the nation 's largest ethnic or race minority with over 60%

The Hispanic population has seen the greatest increase and makes up approximately 36 percent of the state’s population.

Nonetheless.in reality,Mexican American makes up 10% of the United States population and the United States is home to the second-largest Mexican community in the world, second only to Mexico itself.Noticeably,Mexican American history spans more than 400 years and varies from region to region within the United States.

According to Jens Krogstad and Jeffrey Passel, senior demographers at the Pew Research Center, there were 11 million illegal (undocumented) immigrants living in the US in 2014 of 320 million and that number is growing by 700,000 a year.

According to Migration Policy institute, the Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey, the US immigrant population was 38,517,234, or 12.5 percent of the total US population. They also state that nearly one-quarter of the 7.9 million children under 17 in 2009 had at least one immigrant parent. It is important to note that these

Hispanic origin is next with 2,336,076 or 28.6 percent, and black/African American non-Hispanic only constituting 22.8 percent or 1,861,295. Asian non-Hispanic had 12.6 percent of the population or 1,028,119 persons, non-Hispanic of two or more races 1.8 percent or 148,676 persons, and some other race non-Hispanic 1.0 percent or 78,063.

In the 1990s, there were more than 7 million Asian Americans in the United States of America. Bureau of the Census has published that there is a total of 3,726,400 Asians, which includes Pacific Isalnders, which is represented to about 1.6 percent of the population. Chinses Americans were the first Asian to be migrated in the United States.

U.S. Census Bureau data shows that the population of African American people in the United

If they reached the land before they were caught by the authorities, they were granted political refugee status (9). This, as well as other circumstances helped cause the number of foreign-born migrants to increase eighty-one percent in the 1990s-2000s (3). More than half of the Hispanic population resides in the following states: California, Texas, and Florida, with California having the highest number of immigrants (2). One main component of California’s high number of Hispanic immigrants is due to the entrance of migrants illegally. The National Research Council claimed that in the 1990s, “more than 200,000 immigrants came into the United States illegally” (7). With eighty percent of Latin Americans becoming naturalized US citizens and nineteen percent not becoming US citizens before the 1970s, the numbers were reversed after the 1970s and the latter became predominant (12). Legal immigration as well as illegal immigration of Hispanics were both non-prevalent in early American history; nevertheless, with the progression of years and opportunities, many Latin Americans came to America seeking jobs and a better life for their family.

The Census Bureau does not appear to publish specific data for each cohort, which is unfortunate. We must therefore make due with what we have available, which is general Chicago data. The population that identifies itself as 'white' is 45%. Blacks are 32.9% of the population, while Asians are 5.5%. American Indian/Alaskans account for 0.5% of the population. There are only 1013 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander people. Among the Asian populations, Indians (1.1%), Chinese (1.6%), and Filipinos (1.1%) constitute significant minorities. In US Census Bureau data, Hispanics are counted "of any race", meaning that they are included in the White and Black figures. The total number of self-identified Hispanics in Chicago is 28.9% of the population. The Census Bureau tracks Hispanic origins as either Mexican (21.4% of Chicagoans), Puerto Rican (3.8%), Cuban (0.3%) or other (3.3%). In Chicago, 45.9% of Latinos identify as White alone and 45.7% identify as "some other
