Get a handle on immigration now, and the population boom will abate.

Sounds as though we are doomed.
Better send all the illegals home right now.

the US population grew by 10.6 percent in that period, or 29 million people, the report noted. And damn near half of that is from illegal immigration.

Americans consume like no other nation Is this a great country or what. But of course the Boston Globe doesn't like that, especially when evil republicans are in charge. /s

The fragile environment? Here we go again. I would like the author to tell us what America should do to stunt our growth. Should we:
1) Stop all legal and illegal immigration
2) Pass legislation that restricts reproduction via state issued birthing licenses
3) Drown female babies at birth
4) Offer government sponsered sterilization
5) Start deporting illegal immigrants by the millions
6) Move part of the American population to another planet
I will wait for the scientific solution to this funded study.

How do you figure? While there is a lot of land, the areas with infrastructure are filled. DC's traffic is almost a catastrophe.

Americans consume like no other nation -- using three times the amount of water per capita than the world average That's because we brush our teeth and take showers at least once daily, unlike the rest of the world.

Americans consume like no other nation Because we invent, create, build, make, devise and produce like no other nation. And we have the money, and the power. Shut up and move to France, you apologetic Nancy-boy.

The United States, now at nearly 300 million people, is the only industrialized country that has experienced strong population growth in the last decade, creating concerns that the boom and Americans' huge appetites for food, water, and land will sharply erode the nation's natural resources in coming years, according to a report released yesterday.
If this is due to an increase in numbers of young and babies, it's a good thing. We're that much farther away from the demise of Europe and other non-reproducing regions.

Uh-huh, sure. Let me guess, the liberals are going to begin a new round of "we're overpopulated, so concerned Americans should limit their families to 2 children".
I have a better idea. Let's quit dragging in people from all over the planet, and our "population problem" will correct itself.

Earth First! And when we have mined it to Oblivion, we make
Mars our b!+ch!
The more people we have, the more reason to get off this rock. And when we've got off planet colonies, the less chance that some moron like we have in Iran can screw the whole human race.

LOL. I was wondering how long it would take for the environmentalist wackos to realize finally that open borders have an impact on the environment and the consumption of natural resources. We would have a population growth of less than replacement if we didn't have immigration, legal and illegal, which accounts for three-fourths of all U.S. population growth.
