Well, I don't think we have anywhere near the resources for the 7.x billion we have now.
/e I mean if we did there wouldn't be people starving, w/o healthcare, w/o education etc. Once we fix those things then we could breed again. :D
I mean sure, we could handle more people, but the quality of life would go down.
Well we do have the resources. The problem is that 80% of the world's wealth is owned by the top 8 percent and 70% of all the people on the planet have to share 3% of the world's wealth between them.

Yeah, well as soon as you can show me that all the billionaires etc., will decide to share all their wealth, or that communism works...
They don't have to decide. They may have 80% of the world's wealth but they are few and we are many. We take it from them by force if needs be. What they are doing by hoarding it all is vile and immoral.
The problem is distributing it properly. Man is fallible and corruptible. Especially when it comes to wealth.
This, at it's very root, is why communism is the end goal of socialism and why socialism is the only moral choice.
People starve and die and don't have proper healthcare etc because of man's greed. Not because of immigrants.
