The uncontrolled population growth of humans within America creates numerous effects that destroy the natural environment. The major effect that America views most by population increase is the contributions to global warming. According to the video clip, “The Impact of Immigration Policy on the Environment” Leon Kolankiewicsz a wildlife biologist and environmental planner, he suggests that the rapid growth of population through short periods of times creates major impacts on the outcome of the environment. In the film, Kolankiewicsz describes an equation published by the general science called the “I = PAT equation”. The I=PAT equation simply states “if you multiply the size of the population, times the level of affluence of that population times the technology that is delivered. We can find the impact of the population growth.” Furthermore, it is discovered that the amounts of immigration and child birth increase our population rapidly; creating future issues for the environment. Some of the effects of the population growth are the releases of greenhouse gases and over use of energy. Pursuing this further, according to a New York Times article entitled “In Shift, 40% of Immigrants Move Directly to Suburbs” it states, “about 4 in 10 immigrants are moving directly from abroad to the nation’s suburbs, which are growing increasingly diverse, according to census figures released yesterday..." The similarity between these two pieces of media is that both the New York Times article and video “The Impact of Immigration Policy on the Environment” show how increase in population at any formation cause damage to the environment based on the factors that more oil and gas will need to be provided to keep the environment at suitable living.
The fast expansion of humans within America has always been a major concern. However, now the new ideal question of concern is whether America should force the restriction on limits of children or place tight security borders from immigration.
