The LA Times was trying to predict the 300,000,000th American to be here October 16th, and some say it will be a Latino in LA (because they have a higher birth rate) and some pointing to sheer numbers point out that more babies are still born to non-Latinos than to Latinos so it might be a white mid-west baby. Then the LA Times said:
"There's also a two in five chance that it won't be a baby at all but an immigrant, either arriving legally at an airport or illegally crossing the Arizona desert."
Me, I think that is too much immigration.
What do you think?

Lucky, I didn't say two out of five are illegals. There are a lot of people already here, and we have legal immigrants, as well. I was surprised at this number, all the same.

Dianee, based on some census data I saw last week, Latinos Blacks and Asians together make up one-third of the US population, at this time.
