Report: US Population to Grow Through ImmigrationAOL News
By Andrea Stone, Senior Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (July 28) -- A day before Arizona's tough new immigration law was scheduled to take effect, a nonpartisan research group reported that population growth in developed countries like the U.S. has "essentially peaked" and that what little growth remains will mostly come from immigration from developing countries.
The Population Reference Bureau said in a report released today that the rate of increase over the next four decades "depends largely on future trends in international migration." It said that the current population of 310 million could increase to 399 million, 423 million or 458 million by 2050, depending on immigration trends and, by extension, immigration laws, over the next 40 years.
