This will be the pattern for the future on other environmental issues. Immigration-driven population growth drives sprawl, traffic congestion, and the costs of suburban growth. It also drives up the demand for housing, pricing natives out of the regions where they grew up, fraying the social fabric and squeezing middle-class families. Southern California is the best example of this. America is not full of empty land.
Nobody actually wants to live in North Dakota.
Everyone wants to live in California or Connecticut, which have European population densities. The opposite view is a classic case of the liberal mentality that demands the government be Santa Claus. For us to accept immigrants is a favor we do them for which they owe us something, not a free gift and certainly not the other way around. Current immigrants are failing in their obligation to assimilate, and therefore don't deserve to come here. Why aren't other nations similarly obliged.
