This is written in 2005 about the situation in the USA but I think it's still adequate. The high fertility among immigrants is one reason why the white population in the United States is decreasing.
Analysis of data collected by Census Bureau in 2002 shows that women from the top-10 immigrant- sending countries living in the United States collectively tend to have higher fertility than women in their home countries. As a group, immigrants from these countries have 23 percent more children than women in their home countries, adding to world population growth.http://www.cis.org/articles/2005/back1105.htmlThe children born to immigrants are arguably the most important long-term legacy of immigration. The decision to have children is one of the most important any woman makes in her lifetime. The fact that immigrants tend to have more children once they come to the United States than do their counterparts in their home countries is an important finding.
