Roughly one-in-four children born in Nevada in 2008 were to mothers who were not U.S. citizens, according to a new report.

The Census Bureau said 26.3 percent of children born in Nevada that year were to non-citizen mothers, second only to California, which had a rate of 29.1 percent, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported Monday. The report did not distinguish whether the mothers were legal or illegal immigrants.

Education and health care officials were not surprised by the report.
