Immigration: U S Census

Congressional Seats Dept: The statistics from the U.S. census have potentially ominous consequences for U.S. President Barack Obama and his Democrats: They will serve as the basis for a redistribution of Congressional seats, with Republican strongholds most likely poised to benefit, according to Montreal Gazette. While this represented a 9.7-per-cent increase over the population in 2000, the rate of growth was the slowest since a 7.3-per-cent jump seen in the 1930s, during the Great Depression. The U.S. population is currently about nine times greater than that of Canada, where Statistics Canada most recently estimated the population to be 34,108,800 and the U.S. population has jumped by almost 10 per cent in the last decade. And, for the first time, more Americans are living in the sunny western states than in the largely industrial-and agricultural-rich Midwest. The data released yesterday also pinpoint the population of U.S. residents to be 308,745,538 as of April 1, 2010. As reported in the news.
