Go and try to fight that one.
And you believe them? What's an undocumented worker by the way? I don't speak PC language and all "illegal aliens" that have gone home weren't working.

Birthrates have been flat to a slight decline in the US for the past 30 years. Educational level of the mother plays a big part.

Immigrant mothers tend to have more children and have less education. However, the birthrates for all people in the US has shown a slight decline. It's just a redistribution of who is having children with better educated mothers choosing to have fewer children than less educated mothers.

It is not a third-world birthrates explosion. It's also a similar issue in much of Europe.

An interesting read:

Will Population Shifts Alter Immigration Debate? : NPR

By 2010, the majority of Latinos living in America were born here. And Mexican immigration, which contributed the overwhelming majority of illegal entries, has come to a halt.

Hahaha, you may want to let the border patrol agent on the US-Mexican border know that illegal entries have come to a halt!!!

I see you didn't read the article. It is true, however, that Mexican immigration has slowed waay down.
