Good post King. The statistical model showed how much the US can PHYSICALLY sustain additional population. Does it speak to how the US can also POLITICALLY and culturally sustain additional immigration? There ARE certain social costs when people live in enclaves and don't bother to learn English. Or is this overly reductionistic and we should just focus on economic costs?

Just as a cattle rancher knows how many acres of land and water it takes to support x number of cows with out over grazing, over watering, and killing the soils ability to sustain his cattle, the same theory applies to the number of people the USA can support for an indefinite period of time. Immigration should be stopped permanently, and will have to be at some point, or the USA will just become another overpopulated third world nation.
