Following a recent visit to the border with Mexico, President Donald Trump said the United States is " full ." " Can't take you anymore ," Trump said. "I'm sorry. Can't happen, so turn around. That's the way it is." Fact checkers were quick to counter that declaration . They cited an aging and shrinking workforce, as well as America's slowing population growth, which is now at its lowest level since 1937.
