Your post makes no sense. The U.S. population has never stopped growing and the U.S. is the third largest population in the world.
Out-of-control population growth threatens every aspect of life for not only the human residents of the U.S., but also the plant and animal inhabitants of our country. We are starting to run short on natural resources which we can't replace.
In terms of energy, use of resources and infrastructure, people living in the U.S. will put a foot print on the world about forty times greater than someone living in an underdeveloped part of the world.
