Immigration fuels uptick in US population growth

[Collection]The US Census Bureau released estimates showing the number of immigrants to US has reached the highest in two decades, contributing to the nation's overall population growth. International migration accounted for more than two-thirds of the 1.6 million people added to the population, which now stands at 334.9 million. Immigration and births outpacing deaths have led to the population gains. The census results will impact the distribution of congressional seats, with California potentially losing four seats and New York three, while Texas could gain four seats and Florida three.
