I think the riots we are about to experience, Ron, will be conducted by people who are being displaced by immigrants.

             The actual problem, though, didn't seem to develop untl after the 1986 amnesty debacle, when people began to come over the border for the sole purpose of having their child born on the American side.

             Growing populations were a strength at one point in time, like for instance when Napoleon would happily sacrafice thousand of troops to establish even the smallest gain on the battlefield, but things are simply not that way anymore. Too many people is a huge liability. Part of China's economic success has been the result of their "one child" policy. Granted, it has caused other problems, but controlling growth has been economically beneficial.
