Immigration-driven population growth is constraining the movements of wildlife, especially for large mammals like wolves which require room to roam. Projected future growth under current federal immigration policy is likely to cause more human-wildlife conflicts.
Despite the Clean Water Act, many of America’s rivers are suffering, with no relief in sight, as our population continues to soar to unprecedented levels. The Census Bureau projects America’s population will grow by another 75 million in the next 40 years, with roughly 90% of that caused by immigration. It’s significant that this projection was made before the immigration surge at the southern border, where illegal immigration has become more than twice as high as legal.

In a state where 95% of the land is privately owned, the trade-off between unchecked population growth and open space preservation in Texas is clear.
Americans have grown increasingly efficient with our use of resources (i.e., our per capita ecological footprint). But we haven’t grown more sustainable — that is, the U.S. ecological deficit (gap between footprint and biocapacity) has increased — because the amount of natural resources (i.e., our biocapacity) per person has also declined. Why? In part because we have converted them into urbanized areas to accommodate immigration-driven population growth.
