White population in USA has been on decline for years. There was a bump post WWII (the Baby Boom), but things have been on a slide pretty much since that wave was over.
Wealthy Protestants long made use of birth control (legal or otherwise), but then came the once reliable baby making Roman Catholics (Irish, German, Italian, etc...) taking advantage of birth control and other means of family planning.
All this coincided with several forces; access to safe abortion and or legal birth control, and changing roles for women including obtaining higher education.
It is a proven fact worldwide that there is a strong correltaton between education levels achieved and female reproduction. On average women with college and or post graduate degrees have fewer children.
For years low birth rates among whites were masked by immigration, especially of large entire families from Europe. That is no longer the case as the Kennedy immigration laws shifted things more towards Asia and other countries. That and even in Europe white women on average simply are not interested in having large families, that is if they reproduce at all.
Around the edges you have other factors such as acceptance of homosexuality (two gay men cannot have children, so unless they can use a surrogate (white)....), cost of raising children, increasing interracial marriage, and so forth. But those are outliers.
Bottom line is while there have been fluctuations, white (as in European) birthrates barely reach or maintain replacement levels, nor have done so for so long that cake is baked. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ryan seem content to have a passel of kids, but they are in the minority.
One of the main reasons you see white households with more than one or several children lies in the increased use (and acceptance) of fertility treatments and or surrogacy. IVF is known to produce pregnancies which result in multiples. This explains why so many gay fathers have one or more sets of twins.
In that case, indigenous Americans should have had a wall bulit from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, listing the millions of lives lost due to the relentlessly aggressive invasion of their land and the barbaric slaughter of their people.
Many Native American tribal groups sided with Colonial Powers in wars against other Native American tribal groups.
The sheer hatred between many Native American tribal groups ran so deep, they couldn't put aside long enough to unite against a common enemy, much less build a wall.
it be cheaper to build the wall than all the benefit that illegal workers get, just the children that being seperated is $3000 a month per person. every other country can have immigration walls even mexico but not united states
It is a fact that due to the many anti-immigration initiatives enacted by The Administration, that net in migration to the United States is dropping rapidly. I'm just saying, by the time any wall is designed and built, it is safe to assume that net in migration to the United States from south of the border will be minimal. If a wall didn't cost anything that would be one thing, but it will cost billions. Billions, and it is highly unlikely that Mexico will pay for it. So why is it even on the table as a requirement for an Immigration Bill? An established anti-immigration culture and properly trained and equipped Border Patrol are all that will be required going forward to protect America's south border security. I believe this has to be known in Washington. Personally I think that about $5B to $7B of the demanded $25B for wall building will actually be spent on a wall. ~$4B on upgraded fencing and ~$3B on enhanced technology and training and personnel for Border Control. The rest will go into the Mother of All War Chests, to solidify the Far Right hold on America's ideological rudder. Ignoring the shots across the bow of "Citizens United" and "The Financial Meltdown" got us to this point. Caving to the extortion represented by a demand for $25B or "the children will continue to be separated from their parents at the border" will finish off our Democracy.
Mexico was going to pay for the wall, now Donald Trump wants US taxpayers to pay for the wall. It's time to put Donald Trump behind a wall in a Federal Penitentiary.
you really have to be brain dead to even ask that question.

This again???? Trump's plan was to make Mexico pay for it involuntarily down the road. How many times do I have to repeat that? Besides would you rather continue to foot the bill for the over $100 billion a year that illegal aliens cost us or fund the $25 billion wall? The choice is clear to any sane person.
Let's make this simple. America is mostly white anglo-saxon. FYI some Countries are Nordic, and some Countries are Slavic.

Why The Continued Push To Build A Border Wall?
Trump's plan was to make Mexico pay for it involuntarily down the road. How many times do I have to repeat that? Besides would you rather continue to foot the bill for the over $100 billion a year that illegal aliens cost us or fund the $25 billion wall? The choice is clear to any sane person.
