I love how people are always spouting this off as the gospel truth. You do realize the US birth rate is BELOW replacement level and has been for some time, don't you? Most developed nations have similar low birth rates.

this is not true. Simply said. It's NOT true. Our nation is growing rapidly due to several things: 1. immigration, 2. people having babies. Immigrants are the fastest growing population, esp. hispanics. By 2030 I think they said hispanics will make up 50% of the population, there was an article about it in the Post. You are crazy to think our birth rate is BELOW replacement. That's simply NOT TRUE. [/quote]

What is your source?  The US birth rate is hovering just below replacement value.  Immigration is a different issue.  And the real population boom problems are in third world nations.  There's actually a "population aging" problem on the horizon in the industrialized nations.

"the United States has one of the highest population growth rates among industrialized nations. Its fertility rate is just below the replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman, but its population has been increasing by almost 1 percent annually due to immigration."[/quote]
