More births than deaths in non-Caucasians.

WASHINGTON, DC: Racial and ethnic “minority” children are now the majority, according to a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau.
New population estimates indicated births of non-Caucasians are outpacing so-called minority deaths, while non-Hispanic Caucasians are experiencing negative population growth, seeing 61,841 more deaths than births between 2013 and 2014, according to Breitbart.
The report noted that Millennials — who now represent more than a quarter of the population, surpassing the 75.4 million Baby Boomers who are still alive — are more diverse than earlier generations as 44.2 percent are non-Caucasian.
In a sense, 2015 marks the demographic passing of the baby boom generation, and it will continue to be an ever smaller part of the total U.S. population until it disappears altogether later this century,” C. Matthew Snipp, a sociology professor at Stanford University, told the Washington Post./
The changing demographics across the U.S. also indicate that many states are moving toward becoming minority-majority — where all minorities combine to make up more than half the population, according to Fox News Latino.
Nevada, a key state in the upcoming 2016 presidential election, looks poised to soon join that club, whose members already include Hawaii (77 percent minority), California (61.5 percent), New Mexico (61.1 percent), and Texas (56.6 percent).
In April, the Census Bureau revealed legal and undocumented immigrants will combine to reach a record high of 51 million in eight years and eventually account for 82 percent of all population growth in the United States
The Center for Immigration Studies analyzed the data and surmised by 2023, one in seven U.S. residents will be an immigrant. The figure will rise to one in five by 2060 when the immigrant population totals 78 million.
Yet another Census report from March of this year predicted that by 2044 more than half of the population in the United States would be part of a “minority” group.
