What does illegal immigration have to do with American overpopulation? Illegal immigration is one of the main reasons why the American human population is growing so quickly. It is a pretty well known demographic fact that if illegal immigration and legal immigration had remained at pre-1965 levels [immigration law was greatly expanded that year by a Democratic Congress and President], the American population would now be converging on population stability in the area of 240 to 250 million people. If that had happened, America's native ecosystems and natural habitats would have been in far better shape today than they are.
