Why do we need more people. Let's hold pat at 300,000,000 people. Shoot 100,000,000 is a lot, but I'm not one to go around euthanizing 66% of the place.
A moratorium on immigration! Just for a few decades. We did it before, 100 years ago.
Let's assimilate what we got. Then, in 50 years, remember all this that we have now when future Senator Ted Kennedy tries to open the floodgates again in 2065.
In the 70s, in this county, everyone spoke English for the most part. So HUGE English as a Second Language courses didn't burden the resources of area schools. Think about how quality of education would increase here in 20 years when those ESOL funds could go to something else. And non English speakers wouldn't have to catch up with other students.
"But, but, but, we are a nation of immigrants, T-Bolt!" Yes, and we still will be.
"But, the Statue of Liberty!" Yes, the statue isn't law of foundation document of the country, and it will still be there in 50 years.
