Although I am also unworried about the low birthrate, I don't think crowding is an issue...we have a *huge* country. Technology has obviated the issue of crowding for a *very* long time now. Ask those Godforsaken Mormons in Salt Lake City. Rich, and yet...not prime property. Maybe *you* should move to Montana.
You're still living in the Age of Reason. You want to stick with Newton? I'll take Einstein -- an excellent example of why accepting immigrants instead of indiscriminately pumping out babies is the root of what makes our country the strongest in the world.
My German Grandmother didn't come to the U.S. with my Irish immigrant American soldier father and my infant mother in the late 40's to escape overcrowding. Did my formerly Soviet friends come to escape overcrowding? Ahiyikue wasn't working on his citizenship because Gabon was overcrowded...it was because -- despite the fact his diplomat father insisted he spend summers in Africa -- he had brains and skills (chemistry degree) and wanted to be part of the greatest country in the world. My ex-girlfriend "Kelly" Yu-Jong Han's family left South Korea because they put bankrupt businessmen in prison there.
Age of reason, or age of reactionary? Conservative or Liberal, Republican or Democrat, our diversity is what makes us strong. Asian, European, Latin American, African: Can you think of one single person who doesn't have those roots somewhere in their family tree?
If you have a problem with the fact that areas of dense population require more government, maybe you should should be the one who moves to the woods. If you really need "forest by the sea," move to Oregon. The U.S. teen birthrate is not the reason why the situation is so abysmal there. It's because everyone who is born there *leaves*. And not because of overcrowding.
You are worried about overcrowding? These other people are worried that we might not be a mostly white country? I say: Leave. I want to be a citizen of the greatest country in the world; if you think we're better off spending money to encourage every American to have babies or if you think we should reduce our population growth...move to France or China.

I don't have to move to France or China or anyplace else--because its coming here.
Enjoy your paradise.
And thanks for commanding me to leave.
That's just the kind of attitude crowding breeds.

He accomplished nothing extraordinary while in the U.S. except to generate publicity through the use of his name.

Maybe *you* should move to Montana. That's the second time in the same post you told me where to live.
Basically, "If you don't like diveristy and crowding, get out!"--another example of the kind of intolerance that crowding breeds.
Multiply you by millions upon millions, and the people who can still see straight will know what will happen when people who think like you--who favor crowding, diversity, and flooding the country with immigrants--form the majority.

Let's see, that's four times in one post you're telling me to get out of the way to make room for your beloved immigrants.
Somehow I'm feeling less and less free already.
More proof that more people means less freedom.
