Does The U.s. Need More People?

Population growth

Do you think the U.S. needs to dramatically increase its population? As some people know, the US is the 3rd most populated country in the world with 316 million people as of 2013. China has the most, with 1.36 billion, and India has 1.28 billion. China's population is not growing very much at all due to its only child policy, and India might have a rise in its population.

However, according to a Yale study, there could be 940 million people in the US by 2060 if we open our doors to immigration, and make the immigration process much easier to happen. Hopefully before I die, I get to see the US become the most populated country in the world.

Sparsely populated states like Wyoming or Montana could build more cities and houses for people to work and live in. Eventually, Montana could be a heavily populated states with metropolitan areas and even subway systems.

Maybe we can make immigration laws more lax in this country, and we can get rid of the border on Mexico and let in immigrants from Mexico and other nations, as long as they do not commit crimes and learn to speak basic English. We can also get rid of the Canadian border and let in Canadian immigrants to the US as long as they are opt to work here.

I don't know if it would necessarily be a good thing, but it would be nice to see 1 billion people live in our country, sometime before 2100.

If we had more people in the US then we'd also have more fat people.

More fat people = more fun mosh pits at concerts.

Why don't we just annex Mexico with the US already?

would you meet and befriend each and every one of them? the only thing you will visibly notices are, increase of traffic, less jobs for a while, and pretty much it

I was pretty much exaggerating. However it would be kind of nice to see many people living here.

Yeah but Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, etc. aren't the best places to live. Crappy weather.

However still better than living in an impoverished country I suppose.
