With immigration though, it definitely has.

    > As long as people keep having babies in excess of the replacement rate

    To reiterate, the thread was about "breeding". The birth rate has fallen behind.

    You are referring to the overall population growth being due to immigration. This may be true, but is unrelated. Respond to the post about why overpop is driving the housing pricing, not to the factual corrections.

      So immigrants don’t count as people, or have babies?

      The birth rate for immigrants in america is still quite positive, and has more than offset the low birth rate from ‘non-immigrants’.

        Births for immigrants are not counted separately. Again, the birth rate is the topic (which includes immigrant births). Granted, all kinds of residents have births outside of hospitals, but that's a tiny minority that is not counted.

        This focus on immigrant vs non-immigrant is more noise in the wrong thread.

        No it hasn't. Even among immigrants the birth rate reached replacement in the late 00's and has since fallen below 1.8 births per woman.
