Analysis of birth records shows that in 2002 almost one in four births in the United States was to an immigrant mother, legal and illegal, the highest level in American history. The enormous number and proportion of children from immigrant families may overwhelm the assimilation process, making it difficult to integrate these new second-generation Americans. At present, the U.S. government automatically gives American citizenship to all people born in the country, even the children of tourists and illegal aliens.1

Considering Americas roots I find it hard to beleive it's the largest percentage in history.
I have no problem believing it. The birthrate of native Americans has recently dropped to replacement levels, while with immigrants it is much higher.
So you would say native American's were citizens of the Sovereign united states?

The problem is that many "native" Americans are aborting their children.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!

"At present, the U.S. government automatically gives American citizenship to all people born in the country, even the children of tourists and illegal aliens.."
Truly disgraceful.
Truly!
Over 50% of births in this area are to immigrant mothers, and taxpayers will be footing the education bill for these kids (as well as the social welfare benefits they may receive).
Births To Immigrants In America 1970 To 2002
We are ONLY discussing the past 32 years, not 232 years.
This is not news . Our kids will be swamped with all the social problems that come with this
Easily believable. Immigrants have more children than do native born Americans. It's as simple as that.
Why ? Other than the Irish Catholics most immigrant groups had one to three kids. Look at non Mexican/hispanic immigrants today and you find that most have 2 kids .So all these "immigrant" kids have illegal parents and the kid means all manner of social service and the parents will get legal through reunification with their citizen kids.. This is a scheme to rob America nothing more
Judicial Watch Special Report: U.S. Border Patrol Survey Analysis
Executive Summary
President Bushs temporary guest worker proposal of January 7, 2004 was broadly interpreted as an illegal immigration amnesty program around the country and abroad. The Bush administration ordered the U.S. Border Patrol to survey apprehended illegal immigrants concerning President Bushs proposal. The results indicated that President Bushs proposal had actually lured greater numbers of illegal immigrants to violate the law. Politically inconvenient and/or potentially embarrassing data from the Border Patrol survey resulted in the Bush administration calling off the survey on January 27, 2004. The U.S. government never released a report based on the survey.
The White House directed Homeland Security Public Affairs Officers to deliberately withhold information from the public and the media about the Border Patrol survey and a related spike in illegal immigration. The Bush administration mislead Americans for political purposes. The White House approved talking points included:
Do not talk about amnesty, increase in apprehensions, or give comparisons of past immigration reform proposals.
Do not provide statistics on apprehension spikes or past amnesty data.
While the Border Patrols unscientific survey and its aborted execution may not provide a comprehensive picture of the relationship between President Bushs immigration proposal and illegal immigration, the initial data is deeply disturbing. Analysis of the raw data from the survey forms indicates:
45% crossed illegally based on rumors of a Bush administration amnesty.
63% received Mexican government or media information supporting the notion of a Bush administration amnesty.
64% previously entered the United States illegally.
80% desired to apply for amnesty.
66% desired to petition for family members to join them in the U.S.
A detailed summary of our findings and conclusions can be found starting at page 15 of this report.
Judicial Watch will continue to pursue this case and other illegal immigration matters, and report facts to the American people
