"We have the resources to take care of a billion more, easy, at a great standard of living."
We don't. The planet doesn't. The entire planet would have to be converted to housing and growing food - no more wilderness areas, no more biodiversity, no more unspoiled vistas.
This is not a right wing talking point, this is reality.

@ScottSoCal
Immigration is not harmful, quite the contrary.
