Think of it like this, Leeds or Hull are cities in the UK with approximately 850,000 people each, that is the same as adding a city of Leeds every year.
Well. If you were to add the city of Leeds each year to the UK, that would have a different effect than if you added the city of leeds to America each year. Also, they don't all have to be in one place, fundamentally altering the demographics of any one town or city.

If you were to add half that number per year to the UK it would be entirely balanced out by the number of people leaving. How many people leave the US in any one year?
