 | | The number of new immigrants and their higher-than-average birthrate recently forced the Census Bureau to revise its 1989 estimate of U.S. population in 2080 [sic: should be 2050] upward, by an additional 100 million ö to 400 million. |
 | | But now that majorities of fl Americans and even a slight majority of Hispanics, according to a Roper poll commissioned by Negative Population Growth Institute [sic], support reducing immigration to less than 300,000 a year, it will no longer do to accuse all supporters of immigration reform of racism and xenophobia. |
 | | Though the bill wisely cut back on extended-family reunification ö a Ponzi scheme that has resulted in escalating immigrant numbers ö they would reduce legal immigration by only a third, to about 700,000 a year. |
