Who said anything about racing to a billion? If you’d rather have 150 million Americans than 300 million Americans, then go out, kill someone and get back to me.

The point is NOT to get to the point were people are killing each other. When you have high density/population you have collisions of culture or really civilizations. You ought to read Sam Huntington's book The Clash of Civilizations. He outlines it so much better than I ever could. Then go and read some of the splendid essays of Lawrence Auster. He also writes very elegantly on this topic. And if you don't think we are racing to a billion you don't understand demographics and numerical progression.

If we had never changed our immigration policy back in 1965 (Democrats again) we would not be having these problems. I'll submit to you that if we don't make radical changes in our immigration policy and very soon the United States WILL NOT EXIST in another 25 years of so.

I have read clash of civilizations. Most important point to take out of it is that we reside in the remnant of the Greeks/Romans, and how this worldview is directly contradictory to Islam and most of the world.

Much of what we take for granted today comes from them.

My point is that the West is already killing people, one in three to maintain the status quo. This is exactly what abortion does, point and kill one out of the next three people that you see.

As for numerical progression, what’s the average growth rate of the United States? Precisely how many years would it take to reach 1 Billion Americans?

122 years at 1 percent average growth rate per year. That’s slightly on the generous side. At 0.95 percent growth, which is slightly low, it would take 130 years. So in 2150 you’d see an America with one billion people.

Of course, that assumes that the rate does not change over time which is rather unlikely.
