Leonard F. Chapman, Jr., Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, U.S. News & World Report June 22, 1974:30
“We’re very close in this country to a zero population growth through births. As we get closer to that zero growth, immigration will become an even larger percentage of the population increase.”

The New York Times, Dec. 18, 1984
• HISPANIC FERTILITY IN U.S. FOUND ABOVE NORM
• ''The fertility rate for women of Hispanic origin was 97.5 live births per 1,000 women aged 15‐44 years, 50 percent higher than the rate for non‐Hispanic women,'' the National Center for Health Statistics reported.

“The social science literature has often portrayed Mexican-American women as sacrificed to childbearing. … An assumption behind these evaluations of Mexican-American women is that traditional cultural values and religious traditions promote attitudes favorable to continuous childbearing, opposition to contraception, and opposition to abortion.”
Hortencia Amaro 1988

“The Latin Onslaught”
• “Will the present majority peaceably hand over its political power to a group (Latin American immigrants) that is simply more fertile? … On the demographic point: Perhaps this is the first instance in which those with their pants up are going to get caught by those with their pants down!”
• John Tanton, past President Zero Pop and founder of FAIR

Samuel P. Huntington, Foreign Policy 2004
• “In this new era, the single most immediate and most serious challenge to America’s traditional identity comes from immense and continuing immigration from Latin America, especially from Mexico, and the fertility rates of those immigrants compared to black and white American natives.”

CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES Washington DC 3/12/15
• Immigration Is No Fix for an Aging SocietyReport finds immigrants 'fertility dropping faster than natives'
• "Those, like Jeb Bush, who assert that 'immigrants are more fertile' and as a result they will 'rebuild the demographic pyramid' are grossly exaggerating the impact of immigration," stated Dr. Steven Camarota, the Center's Director of Research.
• "Immigration's impact on the aging of American society is actually quite small, and the rapid decline in immigrant fertility means it's getting even smaller."

Sex Education in Europe Turns to Urging More Births
• Danny Hakim, NY Times April 8, 2015• It is all part of a not‐so‐subtle push in Europe to encourage people to have more babies. Denmark, like a number of European countries, is growing increasingly anxious about low birthrates. Those concerns have only been intensified by the region’s financial and economic crisis, with high unemployment rates among the young viewed as discouraging potential parents.
