Could you please provide evidence that population growth adjusted this number to under a record high? Until then I am going to actual believe the real numbers and not how you feel.
less than uh, 2010 maybe. there were less than a million mexican nationals in the US in 1970. there has been an unprecedented explosion in migration from latam in the last three decades, to the point that latinos are on track to become the largest ethnic group in the US.
