France's population hits 65 million / Record number of births in 2008

I don't think that it is so fair to compare french born woman with white woman in USA.
French born woman include black, arab, asian...
For a more accurated comparaison, we should compare it with USA born woman.

It's only a matter of time before France overtake Germany.

It should happen before the middle of the century according to population projections.

French-born women are of course not all White (they are like 95% White), but the 5% or so non-White French-born women have fertility rates that are almost the same as White French women, because the children and grandchildren of immigrants adopt the same birth patterns as the society their parents and grandparents moved to, so it doesn't change what I said in my previous post. If there were ethnic censuses in France, you'd see that the fertility rate of White French women is 1.90, nearly the same as French-born women.
