It impacts on environmental, social and economical issues in Australia.
Two of the world’s fasted growing economies, China and India, also happen to be the world’s two most populous nations. In 2010 India’s population was nearly 1.2 billion, well over triple the number at independence despite introducing the world’s first family planning policy in 1950. China’s population remains larger, but its highly restrictive one- child policy, despite being fairly successful at slowing fertility, has apparently been less successful that approaches based on women’s. Empowerment and education in some parts if India. India which had well under two-thirds of China’s population half a century ago is projected to surpass China by 200 million people around 2050.
SUNRISE MEDICAL INC.’S WHEELCHAIR PRODUCTS A GLANCE AT THE WHEELCHAIR INDUSTRY IN 1993 Despite being a young industry, the wheelchair business showed a large amount of growth in a ten year span in terms of sales. By 1992, worldwide sales were approximately US 800 million, with half of these numbers coming from sales in the US while the rest were concentrated in Europe. These numbers were an indicator of the potential the industry had and this was confirmed by projected sales growth, which ranged between 5% to 15% annual increases for different product lines. There was excitement as an important US insurance program announced it would reimburse more money for wheelchairs of higher price, fact that could boost sales in the near future. Although sales potential was attractive, profitability margins were still low because costs ranged between 65% and 75% and additional operating expenses ranged from 23% to 34% of sales (exhibit 1).

One effect of hydraulic fracturing on economics is that it creates a huge increase in profit for natural gas sellers and drillers by opening up the opportunity to tap so much more natural gas than was available before. “North America has approximately 4.2 quadrillion (4,244 trillion) cubic feet of recoverable natural gas that would supply 175 years’ worth of natural gas at current consumption rates.” (Earthworks, N. Loris) Another way it affects the economy is that 10,000 jobs could be created by each drilling site that is opened. (N. Loris) However, a negative effect it has is that it costs about 2 billion dollars for each plant and extra for maintenance and disposal. One last affect hydrofracking has on the economy is it lowers natural gas prices by up to 15 dollars a gallon.
As a result, the "budget for U.S. Customs and Border Protection has in total increased by 92 percent from $6.0 billion in 2003 to $11.3 billion in 2009" (Immigration Reform). Now with America increasing its spending, there should be cutbacks to the number of illegal immigrants pouring into America right? It is the exact opposite. According to Ojeda, "the unauthorized immigrant population in the United States has roughly tripled in size over the past decades, from an estimated 3.5 million in 1990 to 11.9 million in 2008" (Immigration Reform). With all the money America is spending to restrict illegal immigration, the number of immigrants are not decreasing.
Immigration is the leading cause of such high rates of population increase. Immigration is not only causing over-population in our country but it is also affecting our quality of life in the United States. Step 3.

Currently there are an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants currently living in the United States today.
