I have been saying that we are way overpopulated using the name Jack Kinch(1uncle) at many sites on the internet. The politicians are buying votes by using our taxes to breed millions of democrats on welfare. Now they will grant amnesty to buy millions more votes, Their quality of life is not going down. They have a terrific pension plan-not paying into social security.Good health services also. Contacts state legislatures urging them to pass amendments to constitution or hold votes to pass same. #1 No benefits for special interest groups. #2 No pension-pay into social security. If they have a trust fund,put any wealth in it into SS trust fund which they spent on 'Great Society' and Vietnam war which they had no plan to win at a loss of 46000 lives. Let in no more aliens unless they can and will open business hiring people. No more welfare for single ladies having babies
after the first one.

Thanks, Roy, to you and all for providing the maps. I will be sending the url to many. I hope it will educate them. I have explored the maps, and they are fantastic! I saw things changing, and couldn't believe it! There is so much more crime, and dumb drivers. Now I would like to pick up and move out of here! Of course, the D.C. politicians are protected in their cocoons and aren't affected.

Thank You so much Roy. I really appreciate all the hard work and long hours you put into this excellent, and professionally executed, research project. Great job!

PS
I've noticed that the larger the illegals population the lower the overall quality of life. Interesting.

Thanks Roy, the map is and will be a great tool too use. Here in Oregon the influx of illegal aliens is very alarming, your map is spot on. The illegal aliens have increased at such a rate that we are becoming the minority and you can see the so called "reversed prejudice", I have great grand children that come over from to time and I am afraid to let them go out side by them selves, We hear about abductions and rapes of young children in the news all the time, while not all are committed by illegals, the majority is, There has to be a way to stop this injustice of illegal immigration and all the degenerates that come along.they seem to think that it's o.k. to violate young children then go on about their business, it is not O.k. and it is high time these people go home. Again I thank you for the great map and keep up the good work!! stay well

Roy,
Thank you and your team for the maps.
My husband and I live in a suburb of Chicago (Cook County Illinois).
I know your map indicates that Chicago has a stable population growth but that can't be true. I've lived here all my life and it's changed outrageously in the past 20 years. My husband and I keep saying ''where are they all coming from''.
So yes, we are 2 Americans who want to flee and your map will definitely help in our selection.
It shows us which states and particularly which regions to avoid.

I am also in the habit of checking the ex-pat forum websites. They are still recommending that people come to the good old USA because of our ''lax'' visa laws etc. It's very interesting to read the blogs from foreigners who talk of coming here or have come. It's actually another way to zero in on where they are immigrating to.

Thanks again to NumbersUSA, it has given me a voice.

I live in an area heavily populated by illegals, I work nine hours a day for the last 30 years to buy a condo, a family of illegals, three adults, three children and a anchor baby on the way somehow "bought" the condo downstairs about a year ago and haven't worked one day of that time. No wonder they come here in droves.

What a beautiful map. I am not surprised by the growth in my state but what I am amazed and surprised at is that my county has the 2nd highest rate of growth in our state. No wonder it so difficult to get support from others.
If they have not had 94% growth they just don't understand where a 10 minute commute has become an hour commute. Just the stress of getting from point A to point B is mind boggling. I have always heard that CA charged more for soda, fast food, rent, etc, than other states, but I was really amazed to see how the influx of illegals has brought our wages down below states back east that I am sure don't have to pay almost $4.00 for a loaf of bread, and $1.70 for a bottle of Pepsi at the local fast strip. Although California grows alot of fruit and veggies, we can't afford to buy them as it is over $2.00 a pound for Apples. Yet, we pay the price for cheap labor in our quality of life and cost of living.
All I can figure is that if you could possibly go back through the roles of our CA politicians, you would find that either their parents or grandparents were here illegally. Nothing else makes sense as to how they would be so blind to our CA quality of life.

I loved the map, I will pass it on and on.

Unfortunately, I live in an "explosive population" area. I have watched this happening for the past couple of years or so. I think the main reason for our particular county being overloaded with population is the fact that our capital city has been invaded by illegals for the past several years. I think people are moving into our county to get away from it. We do have our share of illegals here in my county as well, but I feel like there is a spillover so to speak of other counties and people just want to leave and go somewhere else. It's just a sad thing to see the overcrowding on the roads, the stores etc. Pretty soon, we won't be able to walk!! I am glad you put this map together for us. This is an important tool in our fight when it comes to referencing the over population to our so called leaders. It does come down to quality of life.

Fascinating! Excellent map, and the details that went into this is mind boggling. Love the stats though and the ability to check anywhere,everywhere in the U.S. The Indian Was Iron Eyes Cody in the "litter" commercials of the 70's and 80's, actually of Italian descent, worked to further the Native American causes. Remember them well and regardless of his "ancestry" they were EXCELLENT commercials! Go NumbersUSA, will be sending the map info to as many as I can, maybe THIS will make a difference to the fence sitters!

I knew that I lived in an explosive growth area for sure and it has gotten really bad in the last two years. And without a doubt, the litter on the streets reminds me of the litter I have seen on the ground and the streets of Africa where I have been many times. It's awful The traffic is awful too and the newer people that have entered our country literally do not care. I can't tell you how many baby diapers I see routinely just dumped on the ground or left on the floors of elevators of public buildings not to mention bathrooms or on the ground. I too think of that Native American Indian who shed a tear that Gary mentions in his post. That commercial had an impact on me and litter more than any fancy jingles or global warming report or anything. Then the roads have also gotten as bad if not worse in many places that I have seen in Africa. I no longer recognize my own country and I live in Houston.

This map is beautifully done and the information in the bubbles is a nice feature. It's always important to have access to the actual numbers. I hope there will be an easy link to the maps on the home page. This is the kind of thing that could be used by teachers, and by kids writing term papers. Kids are the voters of tomorrow, and a better link than any hyperlink to their parents, the voters of today. Parents are happy to learn about anything their kids are interested in, as long as it isn't related to current popular music.

As the map notes, U.S. population has grown by 34% since 1980 and California by 55%. California now has more U.S. residents leaving than entering, so the continuing rapid increase there is entirely due to immigration, legal and illegal.

From 2005 to 2050 the U.S. population will increase from 296 million to 439 million, with 82% of the increase coming from the immigrants who arrive during that period and the descendants of those immigrants. I've cited those numbers often, but I'm not beating a dead horse, it's very much alive and dangerous.

NumbersUSA MODERATOR: You can access the maps on the front page by going to the "Resources" drop-down menu and clicking "Quality-of-Life Maps".

What a great tool to use and follow what is going on in our
country.Where there is large population growth there has to be great damage to the environment and all other areas that harm our quality of life.

I can only imagine all the hours of hard work put in to make this project a reality.Thank you Roy and NumbersUSA
team for all the useful tools you make available to us.
Now we need to put this information to work for us by sharing it with our Congressman,Reps,friends and family.
