One birth every 8 seconds

One death every 13 seconds

One international migrant (net) every 38 seconds

Net gain of one person every 12 seconds

So no matter what the overall USA fertility rate is NOW, we can confidently predict it is going to go up as the native-borns die off and the immigrants --- well, do the math. Particularly the multiplication.

Do you dispute the census data below?

America was still America and much more livable in 1970, our population was just fine, we were headed to becoming a more advance, larger Switzerland.

The last 100 million people destroyed us as a nation, and turned us into a grubby bus stop of overcrowded cities and big government as our communities were destroyed, and we became a dog eat dog place of concrete and greed and short term gains and big city politics devoured states.

I'd have to study those charts more carefully before I made any conclusions.

Here's a question that just occurred to me: what accounts for the 25-45 age cohort bulging out in the projected 2060 census? That would seem to suggest a big uptick in fertility rate in births starting in 2015, but I don't see that. Or are they accounting for a surge in immigration starting in 2015?

Don’t be silly. Who would dispute what the government tells us?
