and that each of those additional people of those will be of immigrant status? (It's the numbers here, not that they are immigrant but so you know, that's where the excess will come from.)
The US had a policy of allowing about 300,000 immigrants into the US every year up to 1965.
Congress changed that law and now the influx is in the range of fifteen million per year. Legal immigrants.
Add another 10 % of that amount for illegal immigrants currently.
Do you think America can withstand or hold that number of people and still be a benefical country to all that come here?

It think the percentage for illegal immigrants is way low. I understand that about 50% of the Mexican nationals in this country are illegal, as one example. I suspect legal and illegal immigration are about neck and neck.
As to your question, yes I would be and am very concerned.

Legal immigration is on the order of ONE million per year, not fifteen million.

Importing poverty only strains a country. But it will give socialists a huge voting block with a huge increase in the lower class. Socialists know that promising free money to poor people is sure way to get votes.

Yes, I think we have over sized ourselves now. It is time to start limiting ourselves with planned parenthood and to stop the immigration problem. We can survive if things fill freeze now and start backing up. Energy needs will be the problem.

Wouldn't bother me at all as long as
1. They learn our language
2. They don't break the law
3. A certain percentage are smoking hot babes that I can lure into a life of degradation in my mansion.
