300 Million and Counting

According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the resident population of the United States, reached 300,000,000 on 10/17/06 at 11:46 GMT (EDT+4).
In less than 40 years since the 200 million mark, the net population increased by 50 percent. With one international migrant (net) entering the US every 31 seconds and a net gain of one person every 11 seconds, it is projected that within the next 40 years the US population will exceed 400 million. Some advocacy groups claim that the rapid growth will strain natural resources and essentials, but with Exxon-Mobil and Wal-Mart around, rest assured, we are in good hands.

Does this figure include 13 million illegal Mexican migrants?
