The article “The new face of America” by Veronica Majerol is about how the minority population in America is now becoming a majority in the United States of America. The United States is known for being populated with mainly withes but what Veronica is saying is that is now changing. Throughout the United States the minority is now increasing and becoming a larger population. From 1950 to 2011 non-whites have increased from 11% to 39% with Hispanics being 17% of the non-white population, which is a higher percentage than African Americans in the United States. The population of Hispanics has rapidly been changing and increasing over the years and is leaving the republicans to reason their position on immigration. About 12.5 million Hispanics were voters in the November re-election with 71 percent voting for Obama. It is estimated that by 2030 the eligibility of Hispanic voters could rise from 24 million to 40 million. “Hispanics are going to have more to say” says Frey. Most people of the Hispanic or the Latino race either immigrate to the United States at a young age or was born in a Hispanic or Latino family. Whether or not someone is a citizen by birth or by naturalization no one should feel like an out sider in the country they live in and have lives in. at the same time the world is only expanding and more people are having kid so the race percentage in the United States will increase and more people are coming to the U.S. looking for a better life.
