Human overpopulation should be a huge concern.

    Yes. Canada the infamously packed country with no space for people. Canada that is 10% larger than the US and has less than 10% of the population of the US. If there is anyone more person moving to Canada there wont be enough air to breathe anymore!

    Have you been to the Canadian shield? You cant grow food on rock thats covered in snow 7+ months of the year. Overpopulating canada in our more temperate areas just leads to less farm land to continue to feed the world with.

    Is this some 'great replacement' nonsense about how "they" are outbreeding "us?"

    There is a bunch of cults breeding like rabbits for sure, I don't know what is us and them besides that we should protect and make better the land we were from and history has shown humans are a virus on the land killing biodiversity for shiny trinkets, so why bring more assholes here to pollute?

    This seems to be what you're talking about. Are you aware of it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Replacement

    As if they could overpopulate those countries.

    If they are allowed to stay, then they must adapt to each country's lifestyle.

    As if they could overpopulate those countries.

    https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters

    Past 4 years puts it at 8,280,550. Or nearly 2.5% of the US Population. And this number is "interactions" meaning there's more coming across the border than that which goes undetected. Depending on where they specifically it's entirely possible for them to overpopulate areas and place undue burdens on infrastructures and social safety nets.

    If waves of them hear that NYC is a great place to be and all head there, well now NYC has a burden of dealing with that cannot do things like pay into taxes legally (no SSN to report wages to). Depending on where you live, you very well could be observing "overpopulation". Or at least it may feel like that (more demand for housing, resources, etc.)

    If they are allowed to stay, then they must adapt to each country’s lifestyle.

    I agree with this. While America and other countries are all "melting pots" of sorts. There's a reason you migrated... If you're not willing to adapt to where you're going, then why did you leave where you came from?
