OK.  So how many immigrants does each of us native-born Americans get to
shoot?  The number here should be large enough to include shooting a
number sufficient to account for the excess births, which are a lot
harder to deal with.  The big problem, as you may have already guessed,
is deciding who is actually entitled to give birth...

Whatever.  It may, however, be noted that the freeways are wonderful as
