of the information comes from the U.S. census. According to the 2000 census (figures released in 2004), Mexicans are the most numerous Hispanic group, with over 20 million residing in
the U.S. (Ramirez, 2004). Puerto Ricans are next with 3.4 million; then Cubans with 1.25 million (Ramirez, 2004). Salvadorians are "lumped" in with people from Panamanians, Hondurans and others under

speak Spanish at home but speak English "very well"; and 26.7% dont speak English at home, nor do they speak it well (Ramirez, 2004, p. 10). For Cubans the figures
