Why? The US is still very lightly populated. In fact the just the original colonies (even using their current borders, never mind the territory ceded to future states) could hold 200 million people and still be less densely populated than Germany or Italy. That's about the US population as of 1980, well after the peaks of immigration from Europe. If the modern US were as densely populated as the European Union, it would have a population of 4.6 billion. Any American limits on immigration have never had anything to do with lacking enough *space* for them.
