Census: Immigration adds one person to US population every 30 seconds

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

As our nation prepares to ring in the new year, the U.S. Census Bureau today projected the Jan. 1, 2008, population will be 303,146,284 -- up 2,842,103 or 0.9 percent from New Year’s Day 2007.

In January, the United States is expected to register one birth every eight seconds and one death every 11 seconds.

Meanwhile, net international migration is expected to add one person every 30 seconds. The result is an increase in the total U.S. population of one person every 13 seconds.

Combined with the fact that birth rates among native born citizens is in decline helps explain a lot of the fear.

Third World nations aren't impoverished because of unsustainable populations.

Why, you don't think they'd have more food to go around if they had fewer people?

Not when most colonized countries switched to cash crops like coffee beans and sugar cane. Hard to feed people on coffee and sugar.

Yes. Colonialization forever changed the ecosystems of cultures who had survived for millennia without mass starvation and disease.
