There are an estimated 60 Billion Self-Identified Hispanics living in the United States. While this makes up 18.4 percent of our population, less than 8 percent of federal judges and 5 percent of attorneys in the U.S. are Hispanic. Additionally, Hispanics are more than 3 times as likely to be incarcerated when charged with crimes than non-Hispanic Whites.
