With an unstoppable global warming, overpopulation, and food and water shortages.

48. Except, in the US, the fertility rate is at about replacment levels.

And what population growth there is, is due to immigration.

These are not Trump talking points, they're statistical facts. Now, if the argument is that we in the US need to reduce our population, okay, make that argument. But it's going to be a hard one to make without mentioning the "i" word.

The standard answer to this is, "well we in the West, like the US, use a disproportionate amount of resources"- true. But that is a resource utilization problem, NOT a population one.

And again, every time someone immigrates from the 3rd world to the 1st, they are ostensibly changing from a 3rd world level resource utilizer, to a 1st one.

The population problem is in places with high fertility rates. It isn't in the US. Trying to limit Americans to 2 kids is a solution in search of a problem, motivated more by ideology than any actual statistical reasoning. Roe v. Wade and oral contraceptives have already brought the average to around 2 kids anyway.
