A record number of Latinos of Mexican origin now live in the United States. According to a recent Pew Hispanic Center analysis, there are 33.7 million Hispanics of Mexican origin in the country, 11.4 million of whom are immigrants born in Mexico. The remaining two-thirds were born in the U.S.

Mexican immigrants make up more than a quarter of the nation's 40 million immigrants. The next largest foreign-born population, the Chinese, number just two million.

Latinos of Mexican origin make up nearly two-thirds of all U.S. Hispanics. While there were less than a million Mexican immigrants in the country in 1970, there were more than 12 million by 2007. Over the last six years, however, that number has declined as fewer Mexicans have arrived in the U.S.
