<p>younghoss, take a look at the article again. It is from a series in the NYT, and their description (which you click on) states:

In 1980, there were about 6,700 Mexicans in New York City. Driven by new immigration and a high birthrate, they now total more than 170,000, with more than double that number in the region.</p>

<p>Articles in the “Now Arriving” series from The New York Times observe the intimate relationship between New York’s maturing Mexican diaspora and Mexico — a steady, two-way flow of people, resources, cultural practices and ideas. The articles also examine the obstacles that Mexicans face in New York, even as they have recently become the city’s fastest-growing immigrant group.
