I have heard that you could fit all 7 billion people on the planet in Texas.

Back when I taught critical thinking, I used to point out to my students who were convinced that the US was overpopulated that one could give a half-acre of land in Texas to every person living in the US (about 310 million at the time), and still have land leftover in Texas, with the other 56 states (/sarc) completely devoid of population.

How much of that land is arable and desirable for human dwelling? Is that the area that all of the illegal immigrants are clamoring for? Why doesn't the government make THAT land available for immigrant camps?
Back when I used to do critical thinking I found that not all land is created equal.
