33,000,000 increase in US Population in the 1990s
At that rate, our population would double in six decades. The US population reaches 600 Million by 2065. That is about the population that India had when I was young.

Mexico's population about doubled twice in the last century due to high birth rates. Since both countries have managed their border as a rather porous border, I foresee a continuing high trend of undocumented immigration.

Imagine two Chicagos, two New Yorks, two LAs, two Texases, twice as many people at the beach, twice as many people on the highway, ...

reference: Dye and McManus "Politics in States and Communities", 11th edition, c 2003. "The total population of the US grew by 13.3% between 1990 and 2000."

I read that. Fell asleep during the movie, though.
