One angle that has not been discussed in the current Immigration debate is the physical impact of the additional population that will enter this country as a result of the 12 million Z visa illegal immigrants becoming citizens (over the course of several years). If we assume that each visa recipient will bring into the US (legally or illegally) another 5 family members, then we will have added 60 million more residents in the US. For anyone living in an urban area coping with traffic, watering restrictions, and fighting crowds to get anything done, this influx of population will make living conditions even worse for many Americans.
