Well, enviros would rather have people be poor in other countries I suppose. I'd actually prefer unlimited immigration myself.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Loki', 'Y')ep, everyone's quality of life would be so much better if America's population was a billion. Hell, why not two billion or three billion? The more the merrier, right? Maybe we can strive to achieve India's standard of living.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Loki', 'I')'m an unrepentant, unapologetic treehugger. I think turning a blind eye to over-immigration is by FAR the biggest mistake the environmental movement is making.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('azreal60', 'S')eriously though, I love how people love blaming it on immigration when the average family around here is 3 children. And those three have three each, and so on and so forth. Having food makes us want to breed, biological fact. Less food, less breeding.

Hey! I was wrong.. The 700 mile fence INCLUDES $1.2 Billion in appropriate funds! I thought it was just an authorization that would have to be funded next year.

Dang, I should pay more attention.

Even though we live in the decade of the "3,000 mile caeser salad" and other such imported and beyond-boundaries consumerism, how much is the environmental impact of population growth still based regionally? Even though many immigrants move outwards, it's probably an issue with the south midwestern states because of immigration.

The unrelenting leftist that I am, I'm in favor of gentrification, abortion, sex education, assisted suicide and homosexual lifestyle to lessen the effect.

Like we've been saying:

U.S. population consumes its way to 300 million

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')The pattern of population growth is really the most crucial thing," said Michael Replogle, transportation director for Environmental Defense, a New York-based advocacy group.

"If the population grows in thriving existing communities, restoring the historic density of older communities, we can easily sustain that growth and create a more efficient economy without sacrificing the environment," Replogle said.

That has not been the American way. Instead, the country has fed its appetite for big houses, big yards, cul-de-sacs and strip malls. In a word: sprawl.

"Because the U.S. has become a suburban nation, sprawl has become the most predominant form of land use," said Vicky Markham, director of the Center for Environment and Population, an advocacy group. "Sprawl is, by definition, more spread out. That of course requires more vehicles and more vehicle miles traveled."
