While some may quibble with the method used, the math is irrefutable.

Irrefutable? We have 300,000,000 people and the highest living standards on earth...Yet the author states that the country is overpopulated by 70 million.
I am guessing he votes democrat.
Here are some census figures:
1970--203 million Americans
1980--227 million
1990--249 million
2000--281 million
Today--301 million
2030 [Projected]--364 million
2050 [Projected]--400 million
Imagine, since the last census in 2000, we have added 20 million people or more than the combined populations of NYC, Chicago, and LA. In the 1990s our population increase of 32 million is about the size of California, our most populous state.
More than likely, these Bureau of the Census figures understate the true population given the fact that many illegals did not participate. Some estimate that if the Senate bill is passed, we have at least 500 million people by 2050 because of the chain migration effect. The number of legal immigrants who would enter the country or would gain legal status under S. 2611 falls from 103 million to around 66 million over the next 20 years.
More than three quarters of our current population growth comes from immigrants, legal and illegal. Moreover 10% of all babies born in the US come from illegal immigrants.
The science is in, discussion is over.
"Yet the author states that the country is overpopulated by 70 million."
New math. I guess the author never traveled through the Owens Valley, Death Valley, Mojave, the entire state of Nevada........................................................
I'm guessing he didn't make straight A's in math, either.
I am guessing he votes democrat.
I'd guess that, too. But I thought dems were in favor of open borders and, in case they hadn't noticed, the largely hispanic population coming through the open border are fairly fertile.
OH. My bad. I am talking like the dems make sense. never mind.

We can reduce that 70 million overage by at least 40 million by removing the illegal intruders who arrived across our southern borders RIGHT NOW.
Then we can get another 60+ million by removing people who can get their green cards revoked and they can return to country of origin.
Let them go back to where they came from and work to improve conditions there on their own soil. They have been here long enough to know how nice they could make it in their own homeland. They just need to go back there and try.
More likely votes Green.
