Author Matthew Yglesias has a book out One Billion Americans, where he discusses how having a billion people here would benefit our country.
I get what he's saying in positioning us against for example, China, but since we have one of the three federal immigrant detention centers nearby, we've been innundated with a wave of destitue people here, when we can't even care for the locals.
Can we absorb that many people?
This would also drastically change the politics of America. We have 330 million now, Adding another 700 million would change everything. If it happens, it'll be interesting to watch.
