39. Conclusions from DATA
Formation of a generational divide; those immigrants over 40 are largely white, while those under 40 are increasingly Hispanic, Asian and from other minority groups
The increase in younger immigrants is particularly noticeable among the nation’s largest minority group, Hispanics, half of whom are under age 27. One of every five children under 18 in the US is Hispanic.
Hispanics accounted for about half the population growth between 2003 and 2004; one of every seven people in the US is Hispanic
The Hispanic growth rate of 3.6 percent is more than 3 times the 1% rate for the general population with 3.4% for Asians, 1.9% for PI, 1.2% for AI, 1.1% for Blacks and .3% for whites
Since 2000, Hispanic births have outnumbered Hispanic immigrants

41. Where the Undocumented Immigrants Are
Beefed-up security measures since 9/11have had little impact on the ability of undocumented immigrants to enter the country.
Of the 10.3 million undocumented migrants estimated to be in the United States last year, 3.1 million arrived in the past four years; not many more (3.6 million) arrived in the previous four year period.
The past fifteen years, however, have seen a significant shift in where they end up. In 1990 all but about 10% of undocumented immigrants were concentrated in just six states (CA was home to 45 %); today only 60% of them live in those states, and once unlikely destinations such as North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee are becoming increasingly popular.

45. Chicago Metro Area (6 counties)
1990/12.1% of 7,261,176 people were foreign born (879,863)
2000/17.5% of 8,091,720 people were foreign born (1,416,890)
Immigrants increasingly live in the suburban portion of metropolitan Chicago, which for the first time in history has a larger immigrant population than the city of Chicago

46. Chicago Metro Area (6 counties)
New immigrants are less likely to move to certain older port-of-entry neighborhoods in the city (which for 100 years have been the primary receiving point for new arrivals
The Edgewater community area in Chicago’s north side has emerged as a leading port of entry while parts of Mt. Prospect, Arlington Heights, and Palatine, all in the northwest portion of Cook County, have become emerging leading points of entry as well
In the city of Chicago, the current number of immigrants – 629,000 – is well below the historical peak of 842,000 in The city’s immigrant population grew by 34% in the 1990’s.
