The Pew Research Center released new population projections for the United Sates today. The U.S. population will grow to 438 million in 2050, from 296 million in 2005 if current trends continue. Of that increase 82% will be due to immigration and U.S. born descendants of immigrants.
The Hispanic population will triple in size and account for most of the nation's population growth between 2005 and 2050. Hispanics will compose 29% of the population versus 14% in 2005. The full report is available here.
