"Overcrowded schools, congested highways, environmental stresses: We are a nation paving over its wildernesses while depending on our enemies for vital resources.
Why?
Because Americans have been blindsided by a government-mandated mass immigration program that's fueling this nation's runaway population growth. This growth was neither planned nor expected, but we feel the consequences every day.
The population of the USA will reach 300 million this week on a relentless march to half a billion before 2050. That's because about 80% of the current population growth in the USA is due to immigration policies — immigrants legally admitted, illegal immigrants, and births to immigrants after entering. Only a dramatic rollback in overall immigration can reverse these trends. The time to act is now

Agreed. We don't need anymore big, ugly, smelly cities like L.A., Detroit, or fill in the blank if you wish...
A nation that allows a million illegal immigrants to pour across the border every year while killing off a million of its own citizens doesn't need immigration reform -- it needs a complete psychiatric exam.

Keep on coming folks, we have a great country, great people, the best job opportunities in the world and we need people willing to risk their life to do it. A risk very few here would take.
I once heard it stated that if every human in the world were relocated to Texas, everbody would have over one acre. If that's the case, how is the USA overpopulated? We have the most opportunity, best jobs, highest standard of living (for a large country) and more freedom, although not as much as we once had.
Reaching a population of over 3 million is nothing to celebrate.I remember when Disneyland opened and everyone complained because the line to "The Mattahorn" ride was a twenty minute wait. Wow! Now our kids think nothing of waiting two to three hours for a ride at Magic Mountain.
On Fox this afternoon they stated that most of the growth was not from immigrants. I suspected they were parsing the info, and indeed, it appears from this article that I was right, if you roll in immigrants and their amazingly high birthrate. Even Fox, for the most part, seems to feel they have to hide the truth.

Oh, some here are perfectly willing to risk the future of our country for a little cheap labor.....

Must disagree. In our new century People are the real power -- the more people the better. One of the main reasons the US is still the new US (and not say falling into dhmmitude like the EU) is because we're the third most populous country on earth.
I don't know what you mean by "roll it back" but if we're still not #3 50 years from now we're in deep trouble.
I know anyone willing to risk their life to work here has more courage than I have. I have a great amount of respect for ANYONE with that amount of courage. This (in my book) has nothing to do with cheap labor, it has to do with fortitude.
They build them in squares?
Why is that?
Why was Orange County, CA named Orange County?
okay, I'll bite, the orange groves?
People are the real power. Just look at the concentration of power in places like Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan and Bangladesh - numbers 4 through 7 of the most populous countries on earth. The massive international sway and productivity of #9 Nigeria, #12 the Phillipines, #16 Ethiopia, #19 Thailand.
Masses of people haven't meant power since machinery replaced stoop labor and human wave military tactics in the early 20th century.
An exceptionally fertile underclass is only something to be celebrated if you work in the prison industry.
Where'd they go? And what replaced them? What are the crime statistics there today versus 50 years ago? Is the quality of life the same as 50 years ago?
Some people know why that is, others are blind, or live in a bubble somewhere.
