The number of Hispanic children grew from 2010 to 2020. The data show 1 in every 4 children, 25.7% (18.8 million), in the United States were of Hispanic origin in 2020, up from 23.1% (17.1 million) in 2010.


States with the largest percentage point increases in their proportion of Hispanic children over the decade: Connecticut, up 6.5 percentage points; Maryland, up 6.5; Rhode Island, up 6.2; New Jersey, up 5.9; and Florida, up 4.9.


Among them, New Jersey and Florida each added over 100,000 Hispanic children over the decade. Florida experienced the largest numeric increase across all states, adding over a quarter million Hispanic children to its population from 2010 to 2020.


In three of the five states (Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island), the total number of children declined between 2010 and 2020 while the number of Hispanic children increased.

According to annual estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, as of July 1, 2024, the Hispanic population was estimated at 68,086,153, representing approximately 20% of the total U.S. population.

Rafael Edward Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and is an American politician serving as the junior United States senator from Texas since 2013. A Republican Party member, whose father was born and raised in Cuba. Mr. Cruz began using the moniker "Ted" at age 13.


Mr. Ted Cruz’s book, “A Time For Truth,” is part memoir and part political mission statement. He writes at length about the influence his father’s journey to the United States has had on him. Growing up in Cuba and fighting against the Fulgencio Batista regime in the 1950s.


He has said, that when he was a child, his mother told him that she would have to formally request Canadian citizenship for him, so he and his family had always assumed he was not a Canadian citizen.

 

In August 2013, after the Dallas Morning News pointed out that he had dual Canadian-American citizenship, he applied to formally renounce his Canadian citizenship and ceased being a citizen of Canada on May 14, 2014.


Senator Cruz has taken a "hard-line stance" on immigration issues. During the 2014 border crisis, he opposed comprehensive immigration reform. He advocated for an increase in skilled foreign workers entering the United States using H-1B visas.

 

In February 2018, he was the sole senator to oppose a Republican motion to begin debate on legislation intended to resolve the question of what to do with DREAMers. He has also called for the repeal of the clause of the 14th amendment that grants citizenship to those born in the United States.
