Mexico was the leading country of birth of persons naturalizing in 2008 (231,815), and one out five new U.S. citizens was from Mexico (22%). The number of Mexican-born naturalized citizens increased by 90% between FY 2007 and FY 2008, while the number of new citizens from Cuba, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala more than doubled during the same period. The following table sets forth information about the top 10 nations of birth for Latino naturalized citizens in 2008.

According to NALEO Educational Fund Executive Director, Arturo Vargas, “In 2007, thousands of Latino newcomers applied for U.S. citizenship, because they wanted to make their voices heard in our nation’s democracy. The historic Ya es hora ¡Ciudadanía! (It is time – Citizenship!) civic engagement campaign helped contribute to this dramatic increase by educating Latinos about the opportunities of U.S. citizenship and assisting them with the naturalization process.

the number of Latino naturalizations nearly doubled during the same period, growing by 95%. In addition, the share of Latino naturalized citizens has increased significantly in the last five years, from 27% in 2003, to 30% in 2006, to 44% in 2008.

Latinos Pursuing Dream of U.S. Citizenship Help Set Naturalization Record in 2008 – Dramatic increase in Latino naturalized citizens reflects success of ya es hora campaign Latino newcomers seeking to become new Americans helped contribute to a record number of naturalizations in FY 2008, according to a report recently released by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS).

The total number of Mexican immigrants peaked at about 550,000 in 2006 [see chapter 26 of Geo-Mexico: the geography and dynamics of modern Mexico). That year over one million entered the USA and just under half a million returned to Mexico. With the economic recession and higher unemployment, the figure dropped to 203,000 by 2008.

The single largest cost to the government of illegal immigration, according to the report, is an estimated $52 billion spent on schooling the children of illegals. “Nearly all those costs are absorbed by state and local governments,’ the report states. “The most important finding of the study is the enormous cost to state and local governments due to lack of enforcement of our immigration laws,” Martin wrote.

The study, a copy of which was provided to FoxNews.com, “is the first and most detailed look at the costs of illegal immigration ever done,” says Bob Dane, director of communications at FAIR, a conservative organization that seeks to end almost all immigration to the U.S.

The cost of harboring illegal immigrants in the United States is a staggering $113 billion a year -- an average of $1,117 for every “native-headed” household in America -- according to a study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).

@loveangel71 Que ignorante eres la historia esta a nuestro a lado ... estamos en la calle en Chile, en nueva york , en espana en grecia....solo la lucha nos hace libres!!

[loveangel71]

Primero que todo que tipo de drogas usaron estos vales? Puerto Rico somos parte de USA al contrario nosotros amamos nuestra segunda patria por decir por que en verdad somos unos. Otra cosa quien diablos dijo que los Latinos son unidos son toditos una partia de hipocritas clavandose los cuchillos por las espaldas unos a otros, lo siento yo no quiero ser parte de ese tipo de union. Maldito el boricua que quiera separarse de USA y formar parte de una razas hipocritas como son los latinos.

@kalandro14: Thanks, that's interesting. I've seen what is supposed to be an independentista flag, a white cross on a green field; it must be the flag of that political party.

[jp6869]

If Puerto Rico gained its independence, would it adopt a new flag, or keep the old one?

[kalandro14]

@jp6869 The current one was designed by people who fought for the independence.
