Population and Environment
"The nation’s ongoing debate over immigration generally has not focused on the effect it has on U.S. population size.

Supporters of low immigration point to the congestion, sprawl, traffic, pollution, loss of open spaces, and greenhouse gas emissions that could be impacted by population growth."
