Recently the Hispanic population in the U.S. has exceeded 50 million. Hispanics are 16.3% of the nations total population. This is a significant large percentage when you consider that the African American and Asian population combined is only 18% of the nations total population. The largest population of people in the U.S. is White at 64%. According to Nicolas Jones, chief of the bureau's racial statistics branch, our nation has gotten more diverse. The U.S. is growing at a slower rate. Since 2000 the population in America has grown by 27.3 million. More than half of this growth was from Latinos. U.S. Census Bureau officials refused to say how much illegal immigration affected the rise in population. This Hispanic population is now widespread throughout the U.S.

Journalism?
This article is most definitely journalism. It makes people more self sufficient by informing them with info about the U.S. population. It is the readers job to decide whether they think this influx of Hispanics is a good or bad. I lean to say it is good as long as they are here legally. Also, it encourages us to look at the nation as a whole and not just our city.
CBT's
The CBT of Evangelism applies to this article in several ways. First of all, no matter what race we are we need to be respectful to people of other ethnicity. God has told us that we are to love one another regardless of what they have done to us. Secondly, Christ commanded us to be disciples of all nations. This also includes people of all nations regardless of what nation they are in. This is how the CBT of Evangelism applies to this article
