Excuse me? Everything I've ever read shows that Hispanics are having more kids than any other demographic. They might decrease that after immigrating to the US and becoming more assimilated, but even so they still lead the pack, and non-Hispanic caucasians are projected to become a minority in 2-3 decades IIRC.

The data I posted is US specific. If you have data for outside the US, post it!
I'm only talking about the US. Hispanics are having way more kids here than any other group.
That is not the conclusion of objective data.
In addition to my last response, I think you're plainly lying.

From: https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2012/05/17/explaining-why-mi...

"Results from the 2010 Census showed that racial and ethnic minorities accounted for 91.7% of the nation’s growth since 2000. Most of that increase from 2000 to 2010—56%—was due to Hispanics."

"The changing profile of the nation’s youngest residents also stems from the fact that some groups, especially Hispanics, have higher numbers of children than do non-Hispanic whites."

"Among Hispanics, the total fertility rate is 2.4. For non-Hispanic whites and for non-Hispanic Asians, it is 1.8."

From: https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2017/09/baby-boom-bir...

"In 2014, blacks and Asians gave birth to almost 17 percent more children than the national average, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Hispanics gave birth to 32 percent more than the national average."

So, in summary, why are you posting obvious falsehoods? There's plenty of data showing that your assertions are plainly wrong. This was all from a very quick Google search, one of them being the government's own census site. There's tons more.

Citation needed, because that appears to contradict reality and every article I've ever read.
