New Census Numbers Show Impact of Immigration
A new analysis of Census data shows that most states have seen the share of population under-18 stay the same or contract slightly. Although no states showed a percentage increase in their younger populations, states with the highest immigration levels were unchanged. The New York Times noted that "Higher birthrates among immigrants and the migration of younger job-seekers mean that in seven states, non-Hispanic whites now constitute a minority of people under 18. Those states are Arizona, California, Hawaii, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas."
