Don't let them try to convince you that "America is full."

The United States is one of the least densely populated countries in the Global North and we accept one of the smallest per capita numbers of refugees in the world.

We have plenty of space for immigrants. Period.

People who’ve road tripped west of the Mississippi know this.

@JGuz @austinkocher that said, the west of the Mississippi is mostly uninhabitable, mountainous, and desert that has over tapped its water supply. Space is plentiful, but water is scarce in the west.

Respectfully disagree. The water situation is problematic but there are fixes to that. I have driven across OR thru NV, ID, UT, CO, NM & TX too many times to count. We have shit tons of open habitable land.
