I personally believe this will happen by 2020; the later dates are thrown out there to prevent a panic or reaction by “Americans”.

LOL. It has nothing to do with what you believe but with hard data based on the census. If the Gang of 8 bill passes, then it will happen much sooner due to almost tripling of legal immigration over the next decade.

No doubt; the country is being given away by people who no longer care enough about it to produce another generation of Americans.

If you want to see something that is amazing, take a look at this May 2013 press release from the Census Bureau: International Migration is Projected to Become Primary Driver of U.S. Population Growth for First Time in Nearly Two Centuries

"International migration is projected to surpass natural increase (births minus deaths) as the principal driver of U.S. population growth by the middle of this century, according to three new series of population projections released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. This scenario would mark the first time that natural increase was not the leading cause of population increase since at least 1850, when the census began collecting information about residents' country of birth. The shift in what drives U.S. population growth is projected to occur between 2027 and 2038, depending on the future level of international migration.

"This projected milestone reflects the mix of our nation's declining fertility rates, the aging of the baby boomer population and continued immigration."

Other highlights:

Total U.S. population in 2060 ranges from 392.7 million in the constant series to 442.4 million in the high series.

The 65 and older population would outnumber the population younger than 18 as of 2038 in the constant series, 2046 in the low series, and 2056 in the December 2012 projections. In the high series, the under-18 population would remain greater than the 65 and older population throughout the period.

The population younger than 18, 23.5 percent of the total in 2012, would drop to 20.8 percent in 2060 in the constant series. In the high series, it would decrease to 21.4 percent in 2060.

The series with the latest projected date for when the U.S. population would become majority-minority (2046) is the constant series.

The population under 18 years is projected to become majority-minority in either 2018 or 2019 in all four series.

The working-age population is projected to become majority-minority between 2036 (high series) and 2042 (constant series).

The percentage of the population 65 and older that is minority would increase in each series, but not become majority-minority by 2060 in any of them.

My beliefs have nothing to do with it; I have eyes, and the ethnic makeup of my children’s classes don’t lie.
