Latina Lista: New Health Report Shows Latinos on Path to Self-Destruction if Healthcare Issues Don’t Improve

“Approximately 60 percent of the 1.3 million new Latinos in 2005 are citizens born here, according to Census Bureau estimates released in May 2006.

While the Center for Immigration Studies estimates that about one-third of newborn Latinos were born to mothers of undocumented resident status, even if immigration came to a standstill, the Latino population boom would not end for at least another generation.

This revelation sets the stage for a new report on the status of Latino healthcare released this week by The Latino Coalition.”
