The population of Americans born here seem to be contributing much more to population increase than immigrants or foreign born. After all our population is 350+ Million out of which 40 million are foreign born...factor in women being able to be fired for taking birth control in some states or the attempt thereof (forget which atm) and oh boy are we going to have a baby boom.
Almost a quarter of babies are born to immigrant mothers, an official breakdown showed yesterday. It found that 24.7 per cent of children born last year have mothers who were born abroad – and that their numbers have doubled since the late 1990s. The sharply rising numbers of babies with foreign-born mothers came despite an overall fall in births.
The $14.5 billion US Census asked your national origin. But it didn't ask if you were a US citizen. An estimated 20 million illegal immigrants were counted as citizens.
I was one of the half-million people hired to work on the 2010 Census which cost $14.5 billion, more than three times the 2000 Census. The 2010 census cost about $47 for every man, woman, and child in America.
The Constitution says the purpose of the census is to properly apportion representation in Congress. Our Congressmen represent the citizens of their states so I had assumed that the census would be counting only citizens. But no, it counts everyone living in the United States, whether they are citizens or not. And that includes illegal aliens.
This means that the census is now deliberately anti-Constitutional. If illegal aliens are counted in California, then California will be sure to get additional seats in Congress (despite the fact that many citizens have been leaving California over the past 10 years). The same is true of other states with large numbers of illegals.

But they do know how many student and work visas, green cards, refugee stays and Certificates of U.S. Naturalization they handed out? Subtract that number from the number of foreign born residents and you have the number of illegals.
What really galled me, though, was Pres. Obama bragging about more than 3 million U.S. jobs created during the last 22 months. That could have been good news for unemployed Americans. But during that same period, the Obama Administration issued more than 3 million work visas to new immigrants and other foreign workers (more than half of them permanent).

Statistics are just approximations but doing it this way probably gives better numbers than if they are asked about their legal status and they lie. Of course no one knows the exact numbers.
The quote about the work visas shows that some people are not just worried about illegal immigration but also legal immigration. I'm not saying that they don't have reason to be but it does show the shallowness of some of those who say they have no problems with immigrants going the legal route.
