A new immigrant — legal or illegal — is expected to enter the United States every 30 seconds by January, the U.S. Census Bureau says.

The agency estimates this foreign influx will increase the total U.S. population by one person every 13 seconds.

The U.S. also is expected to register one birth every eight seconds and one death every 11 seconds by next month.

The Census Bureau is projecting the nation's Jan. 1 total population will be 303,146,284 — a 0.9 percent increase from New Year"s Day 2007.

With this years drought, Raleigh has about 94 days water supply - Durham has even less. Now all we need is more people. The entire nation has finite resourses and with the increases in population we all stand to lose. If we don't get a government that is responsive to the needs and will of the people it going to get real hectic.
