So what you're saying is that the bucket was full a hundred years
ago and no one else should have been let in, including my grandparents,
and YOU.  The bucket was not full then, and I hardly think it's
full now.  There are parts of the country that are crowded and
there are parts that are not.

The funny thing about people on the right is that I've seen the
same people put forward the same two arguments:

1)  All this stuff about "population explosion" is false and
    "gloom and doom" stuff.  Why we could all fit into Texas and
    still feed ourselves like kings.

2)  America is full up and we can't let anyone else in - especially`
    if their skin isn't white.
