pew hispanic center carries a lot of weight. so, for those who don't know, what exactly is the pew hispanic center? what is it that you do? >> we're a non-partisan, non-advocacy research organization based through washington, d.c. we're funded by the pew charitable trust out of philadelphia. and the pew hispanic center is actually part of a broader larger center called the pew research center. we do public opinion surveys, but we also do a lot of look at the demographics of the hispanic community. and one of our signature products actually is, how many unauthorized immigrants are there in the country. but our point is to provide facts. what do we know about the latino population in the us and how are they changing the us and how is the us changing them? >> hinojosa: so, results of the 2010 census. we're now talking about latinos being more than 50 million? >> that's correct, 50.5 million were counted in the 50 states plus the district of columbia. and when you include the island of puerto rico, you get about another 3.8 million latinos. so the hispanic population of the u.s. has grown tremendously, by about 43% over the last decade. and that growth alone actually has

casey foundation and mark hugo lopez, to pew research center. thank you for the research and the numbers. >> thank you. >> woodruff: now, when one family's personal drama sparked national headlines. deanna fei's premature baby girl had survived a long, arduous stay in the hospital, when she and her family were thrust into controversy. fei's husband worked at a.o.l and the company's c.e.o. announced he was going to trim his company's retirement benefits because of millions of dollars the company was being asked to cover in medical insurance bills for so-called "distressed babies". she describes the experience in a new memoir called "girl in glass: how my 'distressed baby' defied the odds, shamed a c.e.o. and taught me the essence of love, heartbreak and miracles." william brangham talked with her recently in brooklyn, new york. >> reporter: deanna fei was just 25 weeks pregnant, hard at work on her second novel and months away from her delivery date. she'd been researching translations for a plot twist where one of her main characters would have a

. >> reporter: in 2012, the pew research center says immigrants in the u.s. sent over $120 billion abroad. but instead of sending cash, de la cruz' startup regalii, a play on the spanish word for gift, allows immigrants to directly pay bills for family and friends back home. >> instead of sending cash and having your grandmother, your aunt on the other side having to go pick up the money and having to go somewhere else to pay her electricity, her gas, her water we enable immigrants here to control their families' finances there. >> reporter: traditionally money transfer operators wire cash from one storefront, like this one in the bronx, to a storefront in, say, the dominican republic. regalii uses that same network but eliminates the storefront on the recipients' end keeping fees lower. and regalii's customers can pay bills online or using their smartphones. >> the act of sending money it's not a transactional act as much as an act of really kindness and support, right. >> reporter: de la cruz hopes his model, for now only available in latin america could go

. >> reporter: according to the pew research center only about half of millennials say the phrase a patrioticson describes them. by contrast 64% of jenn xeers. 75% of baby boomers and 81% of silents those born from the mid 1920s to the early 1940s say a patriotic person describes them very well. just ask maria. she says she might be a bit more patriotic than most friends her own age knowing how hard her parents worked to give her opportunities here in america. >> all in all i think that obviously patriotism is decreasing in america. because a lot of young people they don't understand the struggles that their fathers went through and their grandfathers went through. >> reporter: her father came over from russia with a ph.d. in botany to work at the university of florida in 2002. it was just last year that her family gained full citizenship. >> i think it really depends on the person. because it depends on household they were raised in. >> reporter: while it may vary from person to person what the exact impact of a less patriotic society will be as time goes on remains open for interpretation.

less leaning groups found less crime, so did the pew research center which concluded first generationimmigrants have a lower crime rate than native born citizens. one study from university of chicago crime lab expert pinpointed migration patterns and then crime data. his findings, 1 percentage point rise in immigrants led to 13% drop in rate. 2% drop in murder. nearly 20% rise in aggravated assault. what does it mean? >> when you think of what's driving crime, we don't think about immigration on the list, that's pretty well settled. >> stanford's robert wiseburg agrees. points out spike in immigration that began in the early '90s had a result. >> that group had the most dramatic crime reduction in modern american history. >> reporter: trump may be talking up immigrant crime, but facts suggest one does not drive the other. many in the republican party are singing a softer tune nationally and locally. >> he should have toned it back. there's a problem along the border. we need to secure the border. i don't have any problems with mr. trump saying that, but it is the way he said it. >> re

host: mark hugo lopez of pew research center joining us. this is teresa. hello. caller: good morning. i live in tennessee and i know many, many people in tennessee and kentucky on food stamps, and the first thing they do at the first of the month when they get the card is to sell them for pain pills or drugs and they get $.50 on the dollar for them. that supports their drug habit so they do not feed their kids. their kids are fed through the school system so they do not have to worry about by nutrition for their children. and they will not find a job but they make more money statement on their butt doing their drugs and accepting welfare than they ever would with the job. they have free childcare, subsidized housing, so it enables people not to find a job and to stay in poverty and i would like your comment on that. to like. guest: very interesting question. when you take a look at, for example, people who are in poverty. there are many got participated in poverty programs for a number of years. the persistence of poverty for some parts of the american public is,

>> the republican party's image has taken a hit this year, according to a new poll from the pew research centerf adults now have a favorable view of the g.o.p. compare that to 48% for democrats. researchers say the number is usually higher for democrats but you can now see that it's a big difference from january when the two parties were much closer and in our wall this is how the number changed since president obama took office. the gap between favorable views of the parties is now the biggest it has been in more than two years. the poll also shows republicans are now more critical of their own party than they were just a few months ago. with 16 g.o.p. candidates officially in the race for the white house there are whole lot of different opinions out there. let's bring in tony, a republican strategyis and texas news contributor here in studio with he. first of all quite a difference. we haven't seen a gap like this in two years why the drop in favorablity? >> you have republicans on dropping from their own party from 88 to 68. the republican party is musk more vulcanized. our fangs moore priso

guest: i apologize, i am not going to happen up the top of my head, but the pew research center has looked at this in the past. they are a pretty reliable source of information on this. and there have been a couple of university research papers that have looked at it. i apologize, i do not have them in front of me. but let's get back to this idea of donald trump. she mentioned that he is going to be the next resident. i think -- next presidents. i think the interesting thing about his comments, what he did for this race is it forth a lot of of republican candidates to weigh in on his views. jeb bush the other day was like all right, look, i am done with these donald trump questions because it has been so overwhelming, but has been instructive to see their reactions area on one extreme you have folks like texas senator ted cruz saying i salute donald trump for raising this issue and making it a priority, so obviously people like him are going to appeal to folks like the last caller we just had. on the other end of the spectrum, we have former florida senator jeb bush, former florida senator

pew research center using figures from the university of massachusetts found crime rate among first-generation immigrants who came to this country from somewhere else significantly lower crime rate than the first generation. >> if someone is an immigrant, they shouldn't be here at all. they are not supposed to be in our country. i'm not just talking mexico. excuse me, they are coming from all over the world. i'm not just talking about mexico. >> we are talking central america as well. is there any correlation between -- >> and you're probably talking about the middle east and other places. the southern border is a disaster. i'm speaking this weekend in arizona. they say the crowd is going to be enormous. someone said i'm the most popular person in arizona. >> you say there's a correlation between crime and the illegals. >> i'm not saying it is number one. but even if the studies are correct, i'm not talking correlation. when you have illegal immigrants coming in if they commit crime they're not supposed to be here. >> you did indicate people coming across the border were raping 80% of the wome

that's not currently, it's actually down about a million based on -- on the latest figures in pew research center. crime was actually going down. so you can't actually all throughout the '90s and 2000s, crime was going down while illegal immigration was going up. so while you can peckick out a number of horrible horrible cases is it really fair to say, to paint with a broad brush that illegal immigrants are, are, you know bringing this crime wave to the united states? >> it absolutely does not bear out the facts do not bear out. i have been reporting on the border for the last 15 years. the facts do not bear out. it doesn't seem like the facts are important here. this 'tis why this is a political opportunity here. he knows that people run scared. he knows people don't like the fact that people are coming across the border. and i understand that. but to actually make -- to create a political plat foreign minister minister -- platform is baseless and foundationless. >> this rally tomorrow in phoenix, joined by maricopa county sheriff, joe arpaio and we are told it had to be moved to a larger venue.

host: this report is available at the pew research center website.hugo lopez joining us to talk about the findings you have heard about, particularly about african-american children and people living at income levels below $25,000. pewresearchcenter.org is how to find out more about this. guest: our interest is to track what has happened with the great recession but we look at other aspects. for example, what has happened with household wealth, unemployment rates, income and equality. this is all part of our program looking at americans and how they view their middle-class status, where they see themselves compared to others and how they see their financial futures. host: let's start off with selena and houston, texas or those who have an income of below $25,000. caller: at one time i did work for the food stamp office. i am now retired on a fixed income but i see the problem that children have, especially with black parents is the parents have these [indiscernible] i think that is one of the major reasons. guest: that is exactly right. then being ga

host: the pew research center compiled your data into this chart here that shows that mesa, arizona isost conservative city america. san francisco is the most liberal city in america. the chart also shows that the most liberal city's more liberal than the most conservative city is conservative. can you explain that a little bit? guest: not surprisingly, the most liberal pockets in america tend to be cities. whereas conservatives tend to live in suburban areas. even a most conservative cities are not that conservative relative to the average american. on our scale, the average american is zero. fairly simple to interpret. two thirds of americans are between negative one and one in our scale. the most conservative city is only about .41 where is the most liberal city is a negative one. the most liberal city is much more liberal than most conservative city is conservative. that is driven by the geographic bearings in america were liberal people tend to live in cities and conservative people live in suburban areas. it's not surprising that the most conservative cities are in the midwest. h

have seen the president's action and a series of polls,, just a recent poll last week in the pew research center found support was at about 73% across the united states. the president -- in each action the president said, -- not the pew poll but other polls you are finding, you found 10 -- 10% or upward supported that. there is overwhelming support among the american people and increasingly among congress. in congress, there was only a few house members, marco rubio and bob menendez in the senate they were vocal on cuban issues before. now you are seeing a groundswell of congressmen and senators who want to find ways to make our policy more effective. i agree with the caller. the focus of this policy needs to be human rights and it needs to be -- what can we do to best support the cuban people? that's what this comes down to in the and. it should not be about u.s.-domestic policies it should not be about the castro government. it is about the cuban people and what can we do to support them/ -- support them? i think the opening of the embassy this week are all signs that we can fight by further e

in fact, a january 2015, study from the pew research center found that 88% of surveyed scientists believe that g.m.c.'s or crops are perfectly safe for human consumption. the lack of a fair and consistent regulatory structure, recently several states have made attempts to mandate all foods as modified organisms. as a result, a patchwork of different state laws have begun to emerge over the labeling requirements of g.m. foods. this is already causing confusion as to how such labeling standards would directly apply to farmers, ranchers, food processors and yes, also regulators. this patchwork of state laws could create some constitutional questions that should such laws affect interstate commerce and trade. nearly 80% of the food produced in the united states contains some kind of g.m. product and the implications of a state-by-state labeling requirement would be vast. this week the house will consider h.r. 1599, the safe and accurate food labeling act of 2015 in an effort to address this confusion. because there are so many myths surrounding this debate, let's start what the bill does. thi

the pew research center conducted a poll recently and found that 90% the scientific community found genetically engineered food poses no health threat. 1599 provides a uniform standard through a usda administered program ensures national uniformity for non-g.e. claims and provides consistency in the marketplace while ensuring consumer confidence and integrity of the label. the chair: the gentleman from kansas. mr. pompeo: i yield three minutes to the gentleman from illinois. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. >> i thank my colleague mr. pompeo. i know it's not an easy path to get to where we are all to allow consumers in all 50 states to be able to know what's in their food. mr. davis: my colleague, mr. pompeo, our congratulations are to you and the hard work that you and your staff and those in the house energy and commerce, house ag committee put forth to make this bill a reality today. i'm proud as a subcommittee chairman on the house ag committee for biotechnology, horticulture and research, to put my name on an amendment to this bill. i'm proud to stand here today to
