The US population hits 300 million on Octebr 16th, up from 100 mil in 1915 and 200 mil in 1967.
Other interesting stats are mentioned in this LA Times article.
"Right now the formula is one birth per seven seconds, one death per 13 seconds and one net increase in immigrants per 30 seconds. With the number of deaths subtracted from the number of births, immigration accounts for about 40% of population growth."
