what that article also fails to point out is the relation between illegal immigration and these stats.
illegal immigrants having children here for sake of citizenship lead to a lot of this.
california also houses 1/3 of all illegals, so these numbers would HAVE to be affected by the amount of illegals as well as the legals.
california just elected its first latino Mayor. born and raised in Los Angeles.

"Immigration is good for the United States ... it's important for us to keep our doors open, but we need to keep an eye on the people coming in," Frey said. "While initially it will be a state problem, eventually it will be a national issue, and education is the best way to deal with it."
