We don't have a population problem. Since 1970 the US population has increased by 115 million. Since 2000 we have added 36 million. The nation’s total population will cross the 400 million mark in 2051, reaching 420.3 million in 2060.

The US’s fertility rate is 1.89 which less than replacement levels (2.1) so how can it get to over 400 million by 2060?
World population is only growing at 1.1% annually, but even that number will soon go negative.

As the US fertility rate decreases the population will continue to rise. Is that correct?
Sounds very similar to the climate changers. As the globe decreases in temperature the Earth’s climate will keep heating up.
That’s the ticket!

The graphs you show have nothing to do with the birth rate (which IS dropping) and rely heavily upon immigration (legal or otherwise).

Our increase in population is largely due to immigration, not birth rate.
