The Census Bureau estimates that the population of the U.S. will reach 300 million this fall.  The percentage of foreign borns among us was 12 percent in 2004, which is still lower than the 13.2 percent who were foreign-born in 1920.  But in 1920, 89.7 percent of us were white.  By 2004 that percentage had declined to 67.4.  The balance of the U.S. population is made up of Hispanics (14.1 percent), Blacks (12.2 percent) and Asians (4.1 percent).
