U.S. projected to lose 18 million acres of farmland by 2060

As development consumes farmland to accommodate more people, the demand for food also grows. America's capacity to provide basic resources (water, food, fiber) to its citizens is on a collision course with its population growth. Beyond the short term, however, they can only hope to slow the loss of farmland growth — not stop it — if the national population continues to increase by more than two million people each year.

In the long-term, federal immigration policy is projected to drive nearly all future population growth. Thus, the ultimate fate of American agriculture is in the hands of federal policy makers

The mid-20th century immigration system got the numbers right but the openness wrong, while the current system gets the openness part right and the numbers wrong. These are some of the influential voices who are pointing toward the future.

The greatest wave of immigration in history is on a collision course with dry land in the Southwest. Or, as the authors of NumbersUSA's report, "From Sea to Sprawling Sea," put it: population growth increases the "number of "straws" (or pipes and pumps) sucking on that diminishing pool of water. Growing demands are being placed on a shrinking resource."

Americans are living more densely, on average, but we've paved over more than eleven-and-a-half million acres over the past two decades. Most of the loss is a result of the U.S. population growing by nearly 40 million people – a result of Congressional immigration policy.

Every year, there is a proposal to "staple a green card to the diploma" of a foreign student who earns a PhD. The idea that there aren't enough intelligent Americans to fill the smart jobs has been especially sticky with a particular subset of Americans, Members of the United States Congress, but it isn't true.

As early as the 1980s, The National Science Foundation (NSF) urged lawmakers to admit more foreign students into Ph.D programs for the purpose of depressing wages.

Contra Elon Musk, ecological sustainability isn't a question of how many people a land mass can contain, but how many it can sustain. People can go just about anywhere for short periods of time, but if they want to put down roots and maintain a certain standard of living they are going to need large amounts of biologically productive space nearby. There's the rub.

NumbersUSA Education & Research Foundation provides a civil forum for Americans of all political and ethnic backgrounds to focus on a single issue, the numerical level of U.S. immigration. We educate opinion leaders, policymakers and the public on immigration legislation, policies and their consequences. We favor reductions in immigration numbers toward traditional levels that would allow present and future generations of Americans to enjoy a stabilizing U.S. population and a high degree of individual liberty, mobility, environmental quality, worker fairness and fiscal responsibility.

Those who need to refer to NumbersUSA with a short, descriptive modifier should call it an “immigration-reduction organization.”
