For starters, the world population isn't going to immigrate to the US in its entirety, even if they were allowed to. \r\n\r\nThat said, there's actually a book called [One Billion Americans](https://www.amazon.com/One-Billion-Americans-Thinking-Bigger-ebook/dp/B082ZR6827) which breaks down both how America would support a billion citizens, and *why* we'd want to do that.","subreddit_name":"PoliticalHumor","author":"GrinningPariah"},{"body":"\u0026gt; If the US had 1 billion White Americans\r\nOh, but here comes the [unique American advantage](https://www.amazon.com/One-Billion-Americans-Thinking-Bigger-ebook/dp/B082ZR6827)! \r\n\r\n(You've got to stretch the definition of \"white\" quite a bit, though, but in the end it's not so critical.)","subreddit_name":"TheMotte","author":"Ilforte"},{"body":"Pro-natalist policies can be somewhat effective, but especially alongside increased immigration. The US already has 1-1.5 M immigrants a year, and there's currently enough demand to spike that up by at least a factor of 4.\r\n\r\nAn interesting book on this topic is [One Billion Americans](https://www.amazon.com/One-Billion-Americans-Thinking-Bigger-ebook/dp/B082ZR6827) by Matthew Yglesias.

Take your housing objection, that sure sounds like a boon to a local construction market in addition to a revitalized town that might have fallen into disrepair. An increased labor pool also means increased demand. \r\n\r\nI also wanted to clarify that I’m talking about high skilled immigrants. Doctors, technical workers, foreign born students that came here for college. Put up incentives to drive that sort of growth where we drastically need more labor and that will drive demand for more low skilled labor in turn. I really struggle to see how an addition of high earning workers isn’t a good thing. \r\n\r\nI’ve been reading the book [One Billion Americans](https://www.amazon.com/One-Billion-Americans-Thinking-Bigger-ebook/dp/B082ZR6827/ref=nodl_), so I’m particularly fired up about this topic.
