No I am not surprised. There is an estimated 7 billion people living on this planet. In 1830, the year this graph starts, there was about 1 Billion. So, in the last 182 years the world's populace has grown 14.2% if my math is correct. THAT is the amazing part. It is no secret that poor countries (such as Mexico) tend to have higher birth rates than more affluent countries, like the US. We are running out of room. Not just in the US, but the planet. Combine the overpopulation issue with the effect humans are having on the climate, we are heading for a disaster that no politically correct Liberal or Conservative capitalist will be able to avoid. We need to do something about the huge population problem. Relocating them to richer less populated areas (like the US) is a cheap fix that delays the inevitable crunch.
