The reaction to the 300 million mark reminds me of the 1992 anniversary of Columbus' voyage to America--previous generations would have leaped at yet another opportunity to celebrate our greatness; our current one moans about how horrible America is.

This is a bit misleading, our birthrate is a bit high only due to Hispanic immigration.

Without the surplus Mexican population, our birthrate would be about equal to France, 1.8 per woman.

Ireland is higher with 1.9.

Mark Steyn thinks babies being born in the United States is good for the country and the world. In crude political, economic and military terms, demographics mean both power and influence. Here is where American exceptionalism stands out. Unlike Europe, Russia and Japan, America is replenishing its population. We should all indeed say Happy Birthday kid - and wish more Americans are born down the road. It will make a lot of difference to the world's future long after the Old World, wizened, barren and dying -is histoire.

I have just watched him on the Journal Report.
He's right.

Actually for the developed world, its a population bust. Europe, Japan and Russia are already on their demographic deathbed. The world's fate will come down to who tops the numbers charts in 2050: America or Islam. We should all pray for a Third American Century. As before, America is the world's last - and now the West's only hope.

Funniest Mark Steyn quote:

"[I]t's propping up the slightly wonky rear left leg of the front table groaning under the weight of unsold copies of Peace Mom by Cindy Sheehan."

ROFLMAO! I really think its Steyn who keeps bookstore shelves in place. Nobody will read Cindy Sheehan. But America Alone is definitely worthy of every one's attention. Demographics is a serious issue - much more important to our future than Sheehan's dead son or Mark Foley.

Good article, as always. I was in Europe when the magic number was announced, and the Europeans were disgusted.

"Ugh, so many Americans, look at those horrible people, devouring precious natural resources, living large, it's all because of George Bush, Americans are so stupid, etc., etc..." This from a people who have to haul in the most desperate members of the third world to do their work because there simply aren't enough native Europeans to run any kind of economy, a people that boasts about their "freedom" from children and politely ignores their own parents as they die alone in inner-city apartments or huge, impersonal residences for the elderly, a group whose main objective in life is to retire early and hope that euthanasia is generally legalized by then so that they can die after a few years, should life become even remotely difficult; this is the group that is so offended by the fact that America still seems, despite all odds, full of vitality, life and children.

There's tons of space for more people in America.

The US census tells us that less than 4% of land in America can be classified as urban. The place may seem crowded at times because humans are sociable creatures who tend to gravitate to their own kind rather than live with rattlesnakes and scorpions.

But if you want to live alone with rattlesnakes and scorpions, it can be done. A free US map and a few hours on any Sunday afternoon will locate a hundred spots to get away and live ornery and unsociable.

Citizen number 300 million doesn't bother me at all. After all, I can go find a rock to sit on in the backcountry, with a rattlesnake as my nearest buddy, and not see another soul for weeks on end. And I'm sure that rock and some rattlesnake will be there when Mr. 300 Million drinks his first legal beer. Our spaces are fully sustainable.

The only thing of note that's unsustainable are liberals poking their nose into business not their own. Guess that's why God made fists as vehicles of learning.

In America, there are 2.1 live births per woman

If so, why the population of America is growing so fast if 2.1 is BELOW the stable replacement rate (about 2.3 or 2.4)?

Should Europe emulate US example?

America's population would be cresting 370 Million, if not for abortion.

50 Million directly and 20 Million would be offspring in the 33 years since 1973 R vs. W.
