CHARLOTTE, North Carolina – South Carolina, one of the states with the toughest laws against undocumented immigrants, will need its growing Hispanic community to be counted in the 2010 Census to increase its representation in the U.S. Congress.
Over the past 10 years, an estimated 88,000 Hispanics have made South Carolina their home, which represents 19 percent of all new residents.
Census figures indicate that in 2008 alone some 77,600 Latinos moved into the state, which means an 8.37 percent increase to make this the state whose Hispanic community has grown the most.
