The U.S. fertility rate is below the replacement fertility rate. That is to say, that if not for immigration, the population of the U.S. would be declining, not increasing.

The issue in the U.S. is not that our population growth is out of control, but rather that our per-capita consumption of resources is. That is, in my opinion, the root cause of the problem as far as the U.S. is concerned.
