Stop Houston’s Efforts to Double the Population

As we grow our population to support a growing economy and an aging population, we must also plan for community infrastructure including roads, schools, doctors, and hospitals. We need to develop an infrastructure plan to keep up with—and continually manage—that growth to ensure we’re maintaining sustainable levels.

We will ensure immigration targets are focused on growing the number of professionals we need in critical areas, including but not limited to:

Physicians and healthcare professionals,
Teachers and early-childhood educators,
Construction workers and the skilled tradespeople, and
Agriculture and aquaculture workers.

We will develop a comprehensive infrastructure development strategy based on population growth and immigration patterns for education, transportation, healthcare infrastructure, and social programs.
