    I don’t understand how, logically, overpopulation is related to immigration. It’s the same number of people, just in different places.

    • I came here to comment this exact same thing. I feel like you have to be a real particular sort of person to both not be racist AND fall victim to this sort of rhetoric. There’s gotta be what? Like… five of those people in the world? Everyone who believes this pretty much just has to be racist.

      The only way I can see that making any sense is if it’s immigration into a very resource-poor area. Maybe a desert or tundra? I guess Las Vegas comes to mind, it’s overpopulated for what is naturally found there. Areas like the Sahara desert especially.

      Other than that kind of very specific circumstance, definitely racist.
