“finite” stands up to that scrutiny, but it also doesn’t mean a lot. The volume of space within 1m of any photon ever emitted from the Sun is finite, but it’s not small on many scales.
If you have an additional 3% of the population come in as new immigrants, no one would even notice resources were spread more thin, just like they don’t notice a 3% inflation most years. I don’t think most countries are experiencing that level of immigration, including extra-legal immigration.
