Right, millions vs. a few.

Oh, that kc idiot is nothing but a criminal illegal lover. He has yet

cites from others because he knows he can't cite what he posts.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. population is on target to hit 300 million
this fall and it's a good bet the milestone baby - or immigrant - will
be Hispanic.

No one will know for sure because the date and time will be just an
estimate.

But Latinos - immigrants and those born in this country - are driving
the population growth. They accounted for almost half the increase last
year, more than any other ethnic or racial group. White non-Hispanics,
who make up about two-thirds of the population, accounted for less than
one-fifth of the increase.

Phil Shawe sees the impact at his company, Translations.com. The New
York-based business started in 1992, when it mainly helped U.S.
companies translate documents for work done overseas. Today, the
company's domestic business is booming on projects such as helping a
pharmacy print prescription labels in up to five languages or providing
over-the-phone translation services for tax preparers.




"It's been a huge growth area for our business," said Shawe, the
president and chief executive. "Not only is the Hispanic market growing
faster than the average, but it is also growing in purchasing power."

When the population reached 200 million in 1967, there was no accurate
tally of U.S. Hispanics. The first effort to count Hispanics came in
the 1970 census, and the results were dubious.

The Census Bureau counted about 9.6 million Latinos, a little less than
5 percent of the population. The bureau acknowledged that the figure
was inflated in the Midwest and South because some people who checked
the box saying they were "Central or South American" thought that
designation meant they were from the central or southern United States.

Most people in the U.S. did not have any neighbors from Central America
or South America in the 1960s. The baby boom had just ended in 1964,
and the country was growing through birth rates, not immigration, said
Howard Hogan, the Census Bureau's associate director for demographic
programs.

People responding to the Census survey - which uses the term "foreign
born" rather than immigrant - are not asked whether they are legal or
illegal.

In 1967, there were fewer than 10 million people in the U.S. who were
born in other countries; that was not even one in 20. White
non-Hispanics made up about 83 percent of the population.

Today, there are 36 million immigrants, about one in eight.

"We were much more of an insular society back then," said William Frey,
a demographer at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank.
"It was much more of a white, middle-class, suburban society."

As of midday Sunday, there were 299,061,199 people in the United
States, according to the Census Bureau's population clock. The estimate
is based on annual numbers for births, deaths and immigration, averaged
throughout the year.

The U.S. adds a person every 11 seconds, according to the clock. A baby
is born every eight seconds, someone dies every 13 seconds, and someone
migrates to the U.S. every 30 seconds.

At that rate, the 300 millionth person in the U.S. will be born - or
cross the border - in October, though bureau officials are wary of
committing to a particular month because of the subjective nature of
the clock.

Hispanics surpassed blacks as the largest minority group in the 2001,
and today make up more than 14 percent of the population.

The growth of the Latino population promises to have profound cultural,
political and economic effects.

"I think we've already seen these changes," said Clara Rodriguez, a
sociology professor at Fordham University.

"I think the music has been influenced by the Caribbean rhythms and the
Latino singers," Rodriguez said. "I think economically, clearly
immigrants are coming to work."

Don't forget the salsa-ketchup wars, well-publicized since salsa
surpassed ketchup in U.S. sales in the 1990s, pitting the two
condiments in a seesaw battle for supremacy ever since.

Many people are embracing the changes, but some are not, as evidenced
by the national debate on immigration. The growing number of Hispanics
is closely tied to immigration because about 40 percent are immigrants.

"I think there is a little bit of a culture shock effect, especially
with the language," said Frey, the demographer. "But as people get to
know their new neighbors, they find they are not that different from
them."

The U.S. added 2.8 million people last year - a little more than a
million from immigration and about 1.7 million because births
outnumbered deaths.

The U.S. is the third largest country in the world, behind China and
India. America's population is increasing by a little less than 1
percent a year, a pace that will keep it in third place for the
foreseeable future, said Carl Haub, a demographer at the Population
Reference Bureau.

The world, with a population of 6.5 billion, is growing a little faster
than 1 percent a year.

By the time the U.S. population hits 400 million, in the 2040s, white
non-Hispanics will be but a bare majority. Hispanics are projected to
make up close to one-quarter of the population, and blacks more than 14
percent. Asians will increase their share of the population to more
than 7 percent.

Those percentages, however, are just projections. They are subject to
big revisions, depending on immigration policy, cultural changes and
natural or manmade disasters.

"In terms of projecting out a year or two, we're not too bad," said
Hogan of the Census Bureau. "In 2043, I don't think anybody here would
think they are particularly accurate."

One thing is certain: A lot more people who say they are Central
American or South American will actually be from those places.

"The over 40 population dominated by the baby boomers, they're the ones
in power now," said Frey. "But when we get to 2043, a lot of them will
not be with us anymore. Those under 40 will be in power and we will be
even more of a global society."
