WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (Xinhuanet) -- The foreign-born population in the United States numbered 34.2 million in 2004, accounting for 12 percent of the country's total population, figures released by the Census Bureau on Tuesday showed.
The number of foreign-born population was 2.3 percent higher than that in 2003.
Of the foreign-born population, 53 percent were born in Latin America, 25 percent in Asia, 14 percent in Europe and the remaining 8 percent in other regions of the world, such as Africa and Oceania.
Second-generation Americans, which are natives with one or both parents born in a foreign country, numbered 30.4 million in 2004, accounting for 11 percent of the total US population, according to the Census Bureau, which conducted the survey of 62,500 households in March 2004.
About 6 million immigrants arrived in the United States since 2000, 59 percent of them from Latin America and 23 percent from Asia. These immigrants are more educated than those who came in the late 1990s, according to Census Bureau data.
You will learn the hard way.
If America's population growth continues, then you will have Sierra Club's approach to conservation, which is to make a don't-walk-on-the-grass-don't-pick-the-flowers-don't-hunt museum of the great outdoors.
I only seek to avoid that kind of control over our lives by asking we reduce population growth from immigration.
Where are you freer?
In the country or in the city?
And which is more crowded?
Sorry, but I don't subscribe to the liberal doom and gloom assessments and options which claim that life is a burden or a cancer, and that those who produce shouldn't be allowed to consume what they produce.
Which suggests they are at least familiar with a flush toilet?
Oh yeah? Who owned it before that?
There's no problem here. Vote the GOP. They've got the immigration issue under complete control. Stop worrying. You're feeling very sleepy, your eyes are heavy, you're falling asleep.... Vote GWB, vote Vincente, you're very sleepy....
yep
<< I'm a legal hispanic [Married an American guy; but then divorced] I have a job and pay taxes; I'm getting a hard time to pay my mortgage and I am a active Republican. >>
Sell your house, give some of the proceeds to the RNC -- and buy something you can afford.
[PS: What's a his panic? What of his are you frightened of?]
/just kidding
What does abortion have to do with this?
Because at that rate you aren't going to be able to assimilate those folks. We should have a max of 5% of the population be foreign born at any given time.
Anything more is flooding the bathtub.
More like a cultural cleansing of Americans from America.
By the way I like your homepage.
But I'm foreign born! Cause my daddy was AF! So where do I count *ponders*
My passport is American, but Country of Birth says "Portugal."
Wow. Please tell me that you didn't do your own taxes.
Thanks. The last part doesn't make sense at first sigh. Originally, the entire homepage was part of a thread here on freep, where the things I listed were answers to questions. When I was done answering, it said so much about me, and I liked it so much I made it my homepage.
Nonononono. Tiny houses are already more expensive than mine. So, the plan is, I keep my house, and in a few years, when I have built some wealth, I will give some to the RNC.

The first Spanish settlement in New Mexico was in 1598.
The Mexican American war (which annexed New Mexico for the US) was in 1846. It has been under some kind of Latin control much longer than it has been under US control.
HehHehHeh ... Good on yah! -- B A
ping to #56. See more of what Mr. "The Communist Party is a legitimate political organization" has to say on immigration.
