 he efforts by America's ruling commercial and political elites to use mass immigration to turn the United States into a non-white, multi-racial society are succeeding. The mostly white America that was born in 1776 will come to an end about 30 years from now.
That's when the non-white population will become a majority, according to the latest report form the U.S. Census Bureau.
The bureau said America's shift to a non-white country will occur around 2042, which is nearly 10 years sooner than demographers have been predicting.
Non-whites, who are now roughly one-third of the population, are projected to become 53 percent of the population, numbering 235.7 million in a total population expected to be 439 million in 2042. The non-Hispanic white population will shrink from 66 percent today to 46 percent, or 203 million of the projected total.
By 2023, most of the nation's children under 18 will be non-white. Today, non-whites are 44 percent of the country's youth.
The shift to non-white dominance is the result of continued mass immigration from non-white countries, and the higher fertility rates of those immigrants and their offspring. The flood of foreign populations is projected to increase from 1.3 million a year today to 2 million a year by midcentury.
The U.S. is likely to resemble some of the larger multi-ethnic countries of Latin America, such as Brazil, but no one can say for certain. The racial experiment being conducted on the country has never been done before.
"No other country has experienced such a rapid racial and ethnic change," said Mark Mather, demographer with the Population Reference Bureau in Washington, D.C.
In the mid-1980's, demographers predicted the U.S. would not become a majority non-whtie until 2050, when they thought the population would reach 400 million. Now they predict the population will top 400 million by 2039.
By 2050, the Hispanic population will triple, from 46.7 million to 132.8 million, increasing its proportion of the total population from 15 percent today to 30 percent.
At the same time, the black population is projected to increase from 41.1 million to 65.7 million, increasing its share of the total from 14 percent to 15 percent. The Asian population is projected to climb from 15.5 million to 40.6 million, increasing its share from 5.1 percent to 9.2 percent.
The projections are based on current trends, assuming the U.S. continues the same immigration policies. The outcome would be altered if the policies adopted by Congress were changed.
