Census shows slowing U.S. growth
The USA grew 9.7% since 2000, the slowest rate since the Great Depression. Some of the once booming parts of the Sun Belt are not exploding anymore, but the region still leads the nation in growth — factors that will alter the balance of power in Congress.
"It's still a lot of people for a developed country," says Robert Lang, demographer and planner at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. "We came close to the Census Bureau's projections and estimates. We are still on track for 400 million by the 2040s."

it is still alot...though i don't think this explains growth in terms of birth vs. immigration
i do know people are having less kids and/or waiting longer, usually due to education and getting your career going
