There is space left in the USA and many other places on this planet. From what I have seen the population density in many places is extreme. But people create these densities for commercial reasons -- then have to live in the messes they make.

It's also about money. Every migrant with skills lower than a nurse or programmer is a drain on the economy. They take jobs from the natives of that country, lower wages, create no new economy while driving up the need for the government to fund them or the people they have put out of a job.
The average cost of a house/flat anywhere where there are jobs is $300,000. housing 6 people that's $50,000 per person before they find a job and start "contributing".
Long term ethnic minorities will be the worse at contributing.

This is what happens when there's an oversupply of any resource, prices plummet.
But all the politicians can say is it's about racism. Seems to me that if you have a problem, the worse you can do is pile on more pressure.
