How, you say? By permitting everyone in the third world who wants to come to America to do so.
Not that this is much different from current policy, mind you.
I love the idea that the USA should forget what little it has learned and instead follow India & China down the rathole. Living conditions in those countries are so worth emulating!
NEW YORK: The United States could aim to have largest population in the world before the end of the century, thus ensuring its power.
The US now has a population of 316 million – third largest after China, 1.36 billion, and India, 1.28 billion – and could aim for 1.6 billion, simply by opening wide its doors to immigration from across the globe ...
If immigration to America were increased to 10 million immigrants per year throughout the remainder of this century, the demographic result would be a US population of about 940 million by 2060 and 1.60 billion by the close the 21st century (see Figure 1). The world’s second and third largest populations in 2100 are projected to be India, 1.55 billion, and China, 0.94 billion.
However, if in the coming decades America continues with net immigration of about 1.2 million annually, as currently assumed, the US population would reach 420 million by year 2060. Although this projected growth would be an increase of more than 100 million, the US population would fall to fourth place as Nigeria takes over the number three position with a projected population of 460 million in 2060.
Ahh yes, Nigeria. Another fine role model
Shame on Yale University for giving a platform to this lunatic
At first, I thought this was an Onion article or something - it's that ridiculous. Here's something I do not understand. Plenty of other countries (as in most) have very strict immigration policy - much more so than the US. However, only the US is criticized for not allowing in even more immigrants? When did it become the responsibility of the US to house any and all immigrants that want to come here? We should do like other countries (e.g. Canada, England, Sweden, etc) - if you have a skill and/or money that would benefit our country, then you are welcome to come here. However, if you do not, stay where you're at. This is not a cruel position, it's simply a sensible one and most especially financially prudent one.

I agree wholeheartedly.
