The Asian population in the US is expected to double during that period as well.

But should that be a basis for immigration?
oh ok, my bad. I just knew whites would be in the minority. I could've sworn it said latinos would be the majority. anyway...

No, I wasn't arguing that should be the basis for immigration.
