Report: Latino college enrollment jumps 24%

By FERMIN LEAL / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

The number of Latinos enrolled in colleges and universities nationally grew by 24 percent in 2010 compared to the previous year, the largest increase of any ethnic group, according to a report released this week.

The report, published by the Pew Hispanic Center, shows that 1.8 million Latinos across the country ages 18-24 attended college last year, an increase of 349,000 from 2009. Latinos also surpassed blacks, with 1.7 million, as the largest minority in colleges, the report concluded. The enrollment of white students in colleges nationally dropped by 320,000 in that same time, the report found.

The center analyzed census data to create the report. Statewide and local data was not included.

Latinos are among the fastest growing demographic groups in general. Researchers attributed that trend, in part, to the soaring college-going rate of Latino students. But researchers also credited the increase in services and resources available to Latinos that helped boost the number of college-ready students.

"The Latino enrollment increase has been even more dramatic than the black enrollment increase because it has been spurred by a mixture of population growth and educational strides," said Richard Fry, author of the report.

The report found that much of the increase of Latinos in college occurred at two-year colleges. About 46 percent of Latino college students attended two-year schools, while 54 percent attended four-year campuses.

That's because several of our largest states are using illegal aliens to DISPLACE and REPLACE innocent American students.

These numbers clearly reflect that. College capacity has not fluctuated much in 1 year.

College enrollment is zero sum.

The Hispanics replaced white and black American students and a large number of them are illegal aliens getting in-state tuition rates in California and Texas!

Legal Hispanic Americans do not have the immigrate rates or birth rates to justify a leap of these proportions.

Doesn't Texas have pro pay for Hispanic speaking teachers and wasn't that passed under Rick Perry?

Soon enough vast numbers of anchor babies will be legally eligible to apply for grants and scholarships at the expense of legal citizens' children and then seek employment for a limited number of jobs. The effects of granting citizenship to the offspring of illegal aliens is having a profound impact on this country.
