What do you think about U.S. Population Growth? Take our Earth Day survey‏




This weekend, as Americans take part in Earth Day celebrations across the country, NumbersUSA's Roy Beck and Melanie Oubre will be at Earth Day Dallas (the nation's second largest Earth Day event) to release the results of a national survey of American's attitudes toward U.S. population growth.






Forty years after a bipartisan government commission recommended slowing U.S. population growth and eventually stabilizing, U.S. population continues to grow by about 3 million a year -- the majority of this growth driven by federal immigration policies.





What do you think? Now you can take our survey and see how your responses compare with Americans from 40 years ago!





"On the 40th anniversary of that landmark event in the early environmental movement, we wanted to know if Americans today share that commissions conclusion that massive U.S. population growth is harmful to the environment and unwanted by the citizenry," said Roy Beck, President of the NumbersUSA.





We've already asked 1,000 adults for opinions on U.S. population growth and immigration levels. (See those results here.) But we want to know what you think.





In 1972, 66% of Americans disapproved of adding another 100 million people to the U.S. population. Since then, the U.S. has added another 1,000,000+, and if the immigration status quo isn't addressed by Congress, we'll add another 100-plus million over the next 40 years!





"Successive Congresses have adopted immigration increases that only 3% of Americans wanted in 1972," Beck said. "They have tripled immigration numbers and created a level of population growth that two-thirds of Americans said they opposed. Despite near-silence about population issues in the public discussions of our present era, this 40th anniversary poll shows that Americans still solidly oppose their government forcing major population growth on them."
