Are 1 billion Americans needed to keep America prosperous and competitive on the world stage?

Watch as Stephen, Matt, and Wadi Gaitan of The LIBRE Initiative, discuss the misframed immigration debate, the case for a much larger US population, the buzzy new book from John Boehner, and what is necessary to keep America great.
