Almost entirely a function of immigration. The other things are factors, but they weren’t working fast enough.
35 million legal immigrants since 1990, mostly from third world countries....16 years of Obama and George W. Bush leaving our southern border wide open...birth right citizenship for the babies of illegal aliens....
and we wonder why the number of whites has decreased.
Go Trump!
Liberals have trued a lot of things to hurt it. But they have finally found a way to truly bury western civilzation-- Immigration.
It appears from the stats that we’ve had 33.5 million immigrants since 1980.
The population has gone up 98 million since 1980. So about 1/3rd of the population growth has been from people who directly immigrated.
It would be difficult to figure out how many of the births since 1980 are births from those immigrants or their children, or births descended from people who were already citizens in 1980. I guess I’d assume between 5 and 10 million of the births were descendants of the immigrants. So maybe 40% of the population growth since 1980 is attributable to immigration since 1980.
If the 40 million immigrants and their descendants hadn’t come here, we could assume whites would still be 80% of a population that would be at 284 million. But if you add in those 40 million people, and assume they’re ALL non-white, the white percentage would drop to 70%.
