In part.
The numbers on demographics won't be out until Jan-Feb 2011 but the population growth was greatest in states where the Hispanic population was greatest. But that doesn't necessarily mean it was just immigration (legal or illegal). It's also births and transfers.

Political Irony

Growth

But since the Census doesn't distinguish between citizens and non-citizens that has been a sore spot for some states that are losing population. A few years back one of our republican congresswomen up here started a fuss about requiring the Census only to count citizens.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
