By 2050, the total population of the United States exceeded 400 million, and one of the four people would be Latin.
In March of this year, the New York Times published an article entitled by Latin votes: an article awakened by sleeping giants pointed out that although the voting rate and voting flow of 18.5%of the population in the United States still need to be observed, the following cases show that the Latin ethnic groups show that the Latin ethnic groupsIndeed.
