Climate change requires population stabilization for America
For America to deal effectively with climate change and many other critical environmental concerns, including biodiversity loss, deforestation, natural resource depletion, food production,pollution and congestion, requires a gradual transition to population stabilization.
That statement calling for the gradual stabilization of America s population is basically the same unequivocal conclusion recommended by the U.S. Commission on Population and the American Future nearly 50 years ago.
When proposing the presidential advisory commission on population and America s future in 1970, President Richard Nixon said, One of the most serious challenges to human destiny in the last third of this century will be the growth of the population. Since the former president s remark uttered a half century ago, America s population has grown from 205 million to 333 million and the world s population has more than doubled, increasing from 3.7 billion in 1970 to 7.9 billion today.

The Hill in January, the demographer Joseph Chamie (formerly of the United Nations Population Division) provides a road map for how the Biden-Harris administration and Congress might repair America s broken immigration system, unite the country in dealing with immigration and increased diversity and continue having immigrants contribute to the advancement of American society.
It basically goes like this:
Don t scam the American people
Look to Barbara Jordan
for some by adding more people through population growth (i.e., natural increase and immigration).
Emphasis, mine.
Immigration at the current scale (1 million people per year) is a drop in the bucket when you consider that 150 million
