Within the Lifetime Of The Average American...The U.S. Population Could Realistically Exceed That of China & India

“Within the Lifetime Of The Average American...The U.S. Population Could Realistically Exceed That of China & India”

The question of how many illegal immigrants (undocumented citizens, if you’re a progressive) live in the U.S. has been hotly debated for years. The official number held tight at around 11 million. The unofficial number could be as high as 30 million. A recent MIT/Yale study realistically placed the number between 22 and 29 million, significantly higher than previously stated.

If the MIT/Yale numbers are correct—and, they appear to be—the number of foreign-born citizens living within our borders rises to about 60 million people, give or take. That is larger than the population of England, close in population size to the whole United Kingdom. Even without the added numbers, the U.S. has more foreign-born people than the total population of Canada. With the latest numbers added, we are a few million short of the total population of France, and 6 times the population of Sweden. Larger, in fact, than all but a few European countries, most by a substantial margin. Only Russia and Germany actually have significantly more people, with Germany being about 20% larger. Again, we're talking solely about people living in the U.S. who are foreign-born.

Currently, the U.S. has the third largest population on earth, behind India and China.

This will, like everything else that is political, be hotly debated. The real question is “Why?” Why should the U.S., who already allows more legal immigrants than all other countries, be vilified as racist and xenophobic? For a country that is supposed to be a hotbed of bigotry, we’re remarkably generous when it comes to immigration. When you factor The Welfare State into the equation, which didn’t exist when it was White Europeans migrating, calling it bigotry is more than a stretch. It’s an outright lie.

In a short 30 years, the total population of the U.S. is projected to be about 100 million people more.

Another Yale study showed that if the U.S. significantly opened its borders, as is being pushed by The Left, our population could exceed both China and India in just 80 years, giving us the largest population of human beings on earth.

How, then, do we reconcile the rhetoric of political activists who say that limiting the number of children born per family is every American's obligation? That’s if we wish to save the planet. Meanwhile, many of the same people demand that we open our borders to waves of new immigrants, who will have more children than the existing population? A fact that is beyond debate, since every shred of evidence points in that direction.

This is why “The Caravan” is rightly called an invasion. Because it is an early attempt to push U.S. immigration law to the breaking point, using humane sounding language to create the illusion of benevolent intent. The U.S. is already benevolent to a degree that should make all the lies to the contrary seem absurd. But absurdity is the lifeblood of politics. If you start with that premise—that you are probably being lied to, about damned near everything—maybe, we can save our country.
Patriotism isn’t a cover for racism. It is the most basic obligation of all Americans, including those Americans who were born elsewhere.
