Fact

Sheets about

Hispanics

of Mexican Origin in the U.S.

With Mexican President Felipe

Calderón coming to Washington, D.C. this week for a state visit, two

recent Pew Hispanic Center fact sheets on Hispanics of Mexican origin in

the U.S. illuminate key demographic characteristics of this population

group.

Immigrants:

No other country in the world has as many immigrants from all countries

as the United States has from Mexico alone, according to a 2009 fact sheet. In 2008, 12.7 million immigrants from

Mexico resided in the U.S. Of these, more than half were undocumented.

Overall, 11% of everyone born in Mexico is currently living the U.S.

All

Hispanics of Mexican Origin: Nearly 31 million

Hispanics in the U.S. self-identify as being of Mexican origin,

representing two-thirds of all U.S. Hispanics, according to a 2010 fact sheet (which, for the first time, is also

available in Spanish). Hispanics of Mexican origin are not

only the nation's largest Latino origin group, they are also its youngest

with a median age of 25. Some 37% of all Hispanics of Mexican origin is

foreign born.

The fact sheets " Mexican Immigrants in the United States, 2008 " ,

" Hispanics of Mexican Origin in the United States, 2008, "

and " Hispanos de Origen Mexicano en los Estados Unidos,

2008 " are available at the Pew Hispanic Center's website, www.pewhispanic.org.

The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, is a nonpartisan, non-advocacy

research organization based in Washington, D.C. and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts.
