Really?!

Thanks for the info...I still say 250 million, time to update.

It would be interesting to search it and see if they know the name and place of the actual baby that was born number 300 million. Sometimes they can be that precise with these figures.

(CNN) -- At 7:46 ET Tuesday morning, the United States will become a nation of 300 million people, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates.

Fueled by an estimated net gain of one person every 11 seconds, America -- already the world's third most populous country -- will join China and India with populations greater than 300 million.

The main reason is simple: Births outnumber deaths. According to the Census Bureau, a child is born every seven seconds, but a death occurs every 13 seconds.

But immigration also plays a role. The Census Bureau estimates that a migrant enters the country every 31 seconds.

America claimed 100 million people in 1915 but didn't reach 200 million until 1967. The 400 millionth person is likely to arrive in 2043, according to the Census Bureau.


Thats really intersting ^^ I still want a name though! Ill search it later when I have time and see what I can find out.

Then 4-5 of them go in together on a house, helping jack the housing market up to the $600K median mark. Meanwhile, they're having babies every 9 nine months and draining our social services, forcing some hospitals to close.

Ok Debbie Downer....(:D)

(Sorry, your post reminded me of that SNL skit where everyone is at a bar , drinking and having a good time, telling stories and stuff and Rachel Drechts (sp) character is constantly interupting saying things like "Did you all know that by the year 2060 Global warming will have completely eroded the Earths atmosphere and nothing will be able to live on this Planet'? Its flippin funny.

You're kidding right? I hope so because your country was founded by those same type of immigrants. And to make narrow minded generalizations is never a good thing.
