Birth rates
If not for immigrants, the birth rate in Guilford County would be slipping, according to a new report.
Almost 40 percent of new babies' moms in 2002 were not in the county legally, it estimates. The majority of those are Latino.
Just 25 years ago, there were zero births from Hispanic mothers in the state. Now 67 percent of immigrant births are from Latino mothers.
What will be the economic impact of the changes?
