US demographic balance has been completely destabilized
The number of non-white Americans exceeded 100 million for the first time in 2006, according to a just released Census Bureau report.
According to the latest figures, non-Hispanic whites accounted for 66.4 percent of U.S. population on July 1, 2006. Minorities were 33.6 percent of the total. As recently as 1990, 76 percent of Americans called themselves non-Hispanic white. In 1965, the American population was 88 percent white.
This shift is essentially all caused by public policy—specifically, the Immigration Act of 1965 and the simultaneous collapse of law enforcement against illegal immigration. As a result, the U.S. demographic balance has been completely destabilized.
Less reported, the recent data showed a growing generational racial divide between the young and older persons living in the U.S. [New Demographic Racial Gap Emerges By Sam Roberts, New York Times,May 17, 2007In 2006 white, non-Hispanics accounted for:
* 56 percent of persons 9 and younger
* 60 percent of persons 10 to 19
* 67 percent of persons 20 to 64
* 81 percent of persons 65 and older
From July 1, 2005 to July 1, 2006, the white population grew by a miniscule 0.26 percent. The minority population grew by 2.42 percent.
* If the white and minority populations continue growing at their respective 2005-06 growth rates, present day minorities will attain majority status by the year 2038. (Table 1.) (This is much earlier than the Census Bureau projects, primarily because they presume a reduction in legal immigration.)
And this extrapolation does not capture the dramatic situation into which Washington has led the white population.
A basic measure of fertility is the hypothetical number of births a woman would have over her childbearing years if she experienced the age-specific birthrates for her group. Based on 2004 fertility rates (the latest available), non-Hispanic white women will have 1.847 children; non-Hispanic black women, 2.02 children; and Hispanic women, 2.82 children.
