1. At the very least, he's engaging in deceptive graphing.
Never trust any line graph that doesn't start at Zero.

Ever.

2. Figures don't lie....
... but liars can figure.

His point about needing twice as many roads, schools, etc because population grew at twice the rate is a perfect example. Nothing but concerned looks and silence from the audience, and I was expecting a "Hey, wait a minute..." from *someone*.

3. 34 seconds in, wtf?
We have too few children to replace ourselves in the USA? We'll stabilize our population along with "all the other advanced nations of the world". oh kay.

"This clip from the longer video, Immigration by the Numbers, features Roy Beck demonstrating the catastrophe of the huge numbers of both legal and illegal immigration by Third World people into the modern nations. " But legal and illegal immigration by non-Third World people doesn't matter? I think I won't watch more, thanks anyways.
