(a) Because the data sources are from US Census Bureau, the data included both legal and illegal immigrants.
(b) The full report actually showed in Table 1 that Mexicans constituted 63.0%, rather than 65%; otherwise percentages of the other top five groups match for USA Today and Pew.
(c) Table 2 of the full report demonstrated that while the ORDER of the top five groups remained the same between 2000 and 2010, NUMBERS of Salvadorans and Dominicans grew by leap and bound (151.7 and 84.9%, respectively), whereas Puerto Ricans increased the least (by 35.7%).
(d) The above full report is heralded by a summary, whose URL is
