If enough people wanted something in the U.S., could they make it happen?

Sure they could. It's called voting. People need to direct more thought into voting. The American people vote their representatives into office, who in turn get to make the laws and vote for the President. Too many people sit idly by and don't make sure their voices are heard. Whenever there is an issue that I strongly have an opinion about, I make sure to call my Representative's office-be it a local, state, or Federal issue. This is the only way to make sure your opinion gets recorded! They are your elected reps. and are there for you, to vote according to the people of their districts. Signatures on a petition are just an amplification of this. Also, if more people who disagree with the system and would take action to run for office can you imagine the changes that would ocurr? I'm not saying any nutjob can get elected, but if you make sense and others agree with you then why not give it a try? People need to realize they are vested in the actions of this country whether they agree with them or not. We need to eliminate the people from office who do not represent our views as a whole. Our society needs to take action! Stop saying "It doesn't matter when I vote, so I'm not going to vote". That kind of attitude is what's gotten our system into the sorry mess it's in now. If you don't vote or take action, others who do vote will get control of things & quite possibly do things you don't agree with.

I think it would be a FINE idea... have seen it at work in other countries such as Switzerland and The Netherlands.\n\nThe trouble in the USA is rather simple... business (Contractors) wouldn't permit it.  Imagine all that (relatively) cheap labor in the hands of the government !!  Building our infrastructure: roads, bridges, cleaning our parks, etc... they'd all be on a pay-structure that would drive the UNIONS that get those government contracts batty !!\n\nBut also... THINK of the money the tax-payers could SAVE !!  Projects done for half (or less) of the cost we pay today.  We'd have virtually ZERO unemployment in the 18-21 yr range, and they would gather useful training during that period that might just reduce unemployment further down the road.\n\nApply some rules not unlike the military regarding behavior, fiscal responsibility, and pride.\n\nYes, I like the idea.

You're question is ludicrous. Of course the US should allow people into the country, even if they are known for having large families. Can the US support a growing population? Have you been to the midwest? We have room to expand tremendously. \n\nI'm sensing a whole bunch of steaming anti-catholic dogma here.

They would if they are interested.

No there is no way that would ever happen. It would be pretty cool if they did though, the population is only 1 million people.
