I'm not sure you'd like the problems associated with having all 8 billion people on the planet living in the US. Keep in mind that the currently most populous countries are also the most polluted and congested, and have even more extremes of poverty and wealth than we do. And China has become something of a neo-colonial power so that it can gather the resources needed to support its population.

The notion that we would be able to take in every single person who wants to be here, no questions asked, is incredibly naive. People should be treated as humans beings, with dignity, regardless whether they're here legally or not; but that's separate from the question of how much immigration we can reasonably accommodate.

AYRT-I'm not saying it would be a perfect solution, and obviously not everyone on earth wants to be a US citizen and/or live in the US. To some extent the pollution problems are the result of lax laws about pollution. Even Manhattan famously has problems with trash because of the way they handle garbage and garbage collection.

And the US relies on prison slave labor and poorly compensated, constantly under threat immigrant labor at home, and poverty wages, child labor, and prison labor abroad. If everyone on Earth became a US citizen, there would still need to be people living outside the US's present borders just to produce the resources to keep all 8+ billion citizens fed and housed, and food and goods would become way more expensive as everyone would suddenly be paid at least $7.25 USD per hour. Which is criminally low in most of the US and more than many people make in a week elsewhere. We also export a lot of our trash to poorer countries, which is unconscionable.

But considering our current asshole in chief's dreams of territorial expansion seem to involve conquest anyway, with bonus genocide and/or ethnic cleansing, I'd trade those problems for the ones we have. And if I had a magic wand that could do more than grant US citizenship, a lot of people* would end up as toads, and everyone would have nutritious tasty food, plenty of clean water, and safe comfortable shelter.**

*most of the current US administration, for a start. Putin and Erdogan, too.

**even the toads.
