Wake me up when the 2020 Census figures are published.
Wake up now. We fell below replacement levels of fertility in 2007. Our overall population is about holding steady because of our high rate of immigration.
Good...
A painless way to reduce the population...
Anything over 200,000,000 or 250,000,000 -ish is too much anyway...
Like I said...
Wake me up when the 2020 figures are published...
Every single Census since 1800 has shown an increase in the total souls on-hand, compared to the Census ten years before it...
And, this is only 2014...
Much can happen in the next 6 years...
I'll go by the historical trend served-up by the US Census Bureau, thank you very much...
Everything else is speculative, or spot-samples, which may very well not prove true...
And, as I said, even if the Fertility Rate IS dropping a bit...
We could jettison 50-100 million souls from the national citizenship rolls without batting an eye, and be the better for it...
We don't need another 12,000,000 mouths to feed...
ESPECIALLY 12,000,000 who snuck-in or overstayed their welcome, and are now here upon United States soil in violation of our laws and without our prior express consent...
DOUBLY true for those popping-out Anchor Babies so that the ICE will be more reluctant to deport them...
Your arguments in support of the existing crop of 12,000,000 Illegal Aliens are both inadequate and immaterial...
There IS no defense for them...
NOR for them popping-out puppies so that they can stay here and claim a loophole in the 14th Amendment...
