The only support/blame for illegals was in the link you provided based on 2002 numbers which only contributed this reference to the number of illegal births:
We have previously estimated from birth records that there were 380,000 births to illegal aliens in 2002, accounting for nearly 10 percent of all births in the United States.
However the OP report does give one conclusion which was:
Birth rates increased for women in their 20s, 30s and early 40s, not just teens. They rose for whites, blacks, Hispanics, American Indians and Alaska Natives.
So my answer to the original question is no, the 10% that illegals add to the population increase does not have A LOT to do with the increase in US births as it seems everyone else was popping out babies too.
