"...For the first time in 35 years, the U.S. fertility rate has climbed high enough to sustain a stable population"

And for that aggregate fertility rate, what's the composition demographically/ethnically?

Some advancing pronouncedly; Others declining I'd expect.

Northern folks should have 3 or more kids before age 30.

Also, we should enact into law mandatory exile for many criminal cases. And voluntary repatriation incentives in non-criminal cases.

The US population has been stable for some time. We are the world's third largest country in terms of population and have the highest annual populaltion growth rate [.89%] of any developed country--primarily due to immigration. Fertility rates aren't that significant if you can make up the difference thru immigration, legal and illegal.

Currently, 1.6 million legal and illegal immigrants settle in the country each year; 350,000 immigrants leave each year, resulting in net immigration of 1.25 million. If immigration continues at current levels, the nation’s population will increase from 301 million today to 468 million in 2060 — a 167 million (56 percent) increase. Immigrants plus their descendents will account for 105 million (63 percent) of the increase. The total projected growth of 167 million is equal to the combined populations of Great Britain, France, and Spain. The 105 million from immigration by itself is equal to 13 additional New York Cities.
