My idea of America is wide open spaces, not smelly crowds....I want to hunt the Rockies or Missouri Breaks or the Adirondacks or southern farms and old plantations...if asian crowding, the Indian Caste system or Dutch legalization of prostitution/drugs is your idea of development
Using that argument, of course, maybe the Americans Indians were right, as that's what they wanted. The fact is the places you mention ARE empty. People move to Charlotte or Denver or Houston. They don't move to the Adirondacks or the Rockies or the Missouri breaks. The whole midwest is filled with ghost towns.
This is the same argument that the enviro-nuts use. I'm sorry, but I will not think of any of God's children as locusts, and while I certainly do not approve of illegal immigration, closing the door will make us grow old and wither like Europe. My point regarding India, Asia and the Dutch was not that we should emulate them. It simply meant that population density does not equal poverty. My other examples of Zimbabwe and Somalia show that lack of density does not equal wealth.
We would all perhaps want a beautiful Garden of Eden if it would be possible. But it is not. We have to be moral and just. The kinds of laws it would take to bring America to 100 million or 200 million would be odious.

I grew up in NYC. everywhere we have that kind of crowding we have liberal leftist trash.
Look at former conservative bastions like Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix, and more.....there is no doubt citification causes a swing to the left.
Europe is not whithering it is burgeoning with MUSLIMS.
we need to block the islamification of America.
