To correct the article's inaccuracy: America is a nation made up of American citizens. Historically, America's vast open spaces were populated by settlers, some of whom were immigrants.

Today America is full and yet we are on our way to joining India and China in the one billion club. Even though American women voluntarily achieved replacement level fertility (2.1 children per woman) in 1972, mass immigration is driving our population to double this century.

We have not only the right, but the responsibility to manage immigration numbers for the best interests of future generations of Americans.
