The report comes as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on the legality of Arizona's strict immigration law.
WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first time, racial and ethnic minorities make up more than half the children born in the U.S., capping decades of heady immigration growth that is now slowing. New 2011 census estimates highlight sweeping changes in the nation's racial makeup and the prolonged impact of a weak economy, which is now resulting in fewer Hispanics entering the U.S. "This is an important landmark," said Roderick Harrison, a former chief of racial statistics at the Census Bureau who is now a sociologist at Howard University.

Presione aquí para ver la nota en español. Brian Gintz, 22, of Torrance, California was in his late teens when he first decided to get a tattoo.
