We are hardly "full" since we only rank number 180 for population density.
And it if were not for immigration, only 1/64 of my DNA would be here!
We used immigration in the past to "build" this country.....now it's "built".And yes, we are "full" ! Here in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Oklahoma, etc. etc........the "towns" are ever expanding. Where there used to be "farmland" is now a shopping mall ! Where there used to be "farmland" is now a "suburb" !
Etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.We are losing top soil and farmland acreage drastically every year.
And we are using our country's resources too fast in trying to support our population......cutting down the forests and building new suburbs and factories and expanding and expanding and putting more pollution into the air and water.
Also, the great underground resevoir of water under the "Great Plains" is nearly 70% depleted !
At some point, not only will we not be able to feed "the world" but we won't be able to feed "ourselves" !
Do you want us to be as crowded and populous as India ? China ? Any other population density areas ?
No !....WE WANT FREE OPEN AIR PLACES, WILDERNESS, AND BIG SKY COUNTRY !......."rural" areas are very important to this country and they're constantly "shrinking" !
So, to preserve THAT.......YES !......WE'RE FULL NOW ! ABSOLUTELY !The consumption will overtake the resource and bounty of this country eventually. And look at the trash that people create with "dumps" and the like......flushing toilets, drinking water, eating, using, taking, and building, etc. etc.It will be "self-evident" to everyone eventually in our rivers, lakes, oceans, and "the land" will just cease to support the population ...........We're only 180th on the density chart ?Well, yeah, and look at the "world" and it's resources and the "world population" being higher than it ever has been in the
HISTORY OF EARTH !.....
Look at the Amazon Rain Forest which supplies us with oxygen !This is the direction we should "welcome" or "encourage" or "embrace" ?......

.....huh
?
