The Population-Growth-Through-Mass-Immigration Lobby
Although the population of the United States – 327 million in 2018 – is the third largest in the world, Americans are constantly told by various analysts and politicians that America needs more people and, therefore, more immigration. While FAIR and other organizations have been consistently refuting this false and irresponsible narrative, pro-American immigration reformers often face an uphill battle in this regard. This is because there are numerous powerful, influential, and vociferous lobbies promoting population growth through mass immigration.
The defenders of population growth are almost universally institutional, not individuals. The public is generally concerned about continued population growth. The discrepancy between citizen and institutional interests is clear. Individuals benefit from moderate population density, open spaces, and a healthy environment. Institutions benefit from increased membership and large consumer markets and labor pools.
