A stark look at the reality your children and grandchildren face is rarely discusses. Politicians may extol the virtues of mass-immigration and couch it in terms of GDP and economic boom, but the over-populated future the next generation will have to deal with is not bright. First, let’s check out some figures:
World population 2016: 7.3 billion
World population 2050 (projected): 9.6 billion (UN estimates)
U.S population 2016: 325 million
U.S population 2050 (projected): 438 million

Not to worry. Half those people will be drowned by global warming.
Blog pimping, are ye?
Been hearing this crap since Paul Erlich in the 60s, It wasn’t true then, not true now.
Wonder if CNN knows about that?.
What are they talking about?If it is that they are saying that they are too sorry to feed themselves and have to depend on the wetbacks to feed them, then let them starve.
World population growth assumes rich nations will either subsidize or import 3rd world inhabitants. The question is how many can afford to feed.
whats this about ???
Time for a 50 year moratorium on ALL immigration, we will not be able to keep up with the amount of tax increases needed to accommodate that many more people (especially if the majority are 3rd world types), not to mention the devastation to our culture.
BTW, you don't see population projections past 2050 because that's when even the UN concedes world population will stabilize and later begin to decline, as it already is in Europe, the US, Japan and some other Asian countries.
Your Children and Grandchildren are Likely to be Very Hungry in the Future: and It’s All Down to Immigrationby IWB · February 19, 2017

A stark look at the reality your children and grandchildren face is rarely discusses. Politicians may extol the virtues of mass-immigration and couch it in terms of GDP and economic boom, but the over-populated future the next generation will have to deal with is not bright. First, let’s check out some figures:
World population 2016: 7.3 billion
World population 2050 (projected): 9.6 billion (UN estimates)
U.S population 2016: 325 million
U.S population 2050 (projected): 438 million
U.S population density 2016: 85 people per square mile
U.S population density 2050 (projected):114 people per square mile
U.S land needed to feed one person: 1 acre (or 640 people per square mile) Estimates vary greatly, but considering calorie count and intensive farming, this seems to be the most common number.
U.S Land needed to feed 2016 population: 505,812 square miles
U.S population density adjusted for Food producing land 2016: 98 people per square mile
U.S population density adjusted for Food producing land 2050: 139 people per square mile
These figures do not take into account the more than half a million square miles of land that the U.S Department of Agriculture deems not fit for living or farming. If this figure were included, the population density would be even higher.
The last figure is the most shocking one. To feed the people of the U.S, a population density of 139 people per square mile is required. In fact the number will actually be higher if we remember that some land is neither suitable for food nor habitation (mountains, weather, desert, on water, lakes etc…). So either people will be crammed in at a rate that is unheard of, or they will be hungry. We shouldn’t assume that the U.S will be able to find its food stocks from overseas (which in itself is a very unsafe position to be in), because the rest of the planet will be experiencing the same problem.
Throughout History, population centers around the world have generally reached equilibrium between birth rates, replacement rates and death rates. If a group got too large, resources became scarcer (or the group members would receive a smaller share) and this would lead to having less children (or famine, which again resettled the growth rate). It is a natural (and often sad) process that we see across the whole of the natural world (especially in the animal kingdom).
But the system got “tricked”: mass-immigration. This kind of mass movement was never before possible in history (other than through mass warfare and genocide, which thus lowered the population anyway), as moving large numbers of people required resources to be already set up at the place of arrival including food, defenses, shelter etc… So by necessity, the movement of people was in smaller groups. With today’s mass migration, the natural rules no longer apply. Resources are already in place.
A natural process that would have resulted in a population having less children has been interrupted. This means that the population will continue to grow at an unprecedented rate. The natural systems that have kept the human race going have been upset and this will result in less resources for everyone.
It may sound uncaring to suggest that natural processes should take their course. But the alternative is devastating for all humans. And remember, it is not a question of changing people or killing people, it would just mean less breeding due to fewer resources. Imagine how many deaths would be prevented (especially infant mortality rate in poorer countries) if we cut down on mass-immigration.

Been hearing this crap since we were eating Irish babies to solve the Malthusian genius.
Mexico should build desalinization plants in the gulf of California and turn the desert all the way to Juarez into a new agriculture center bigger than the big valley in California.
You might be able to get the liberals onboard if you tell them it will help solve the rising sea levels due to global warming.
;~)
LOL. We have a new desal plant in Carlsbad CA. I live in O-side. We are drinking the sea level down so that Al Gore can relax.
I have been TRYING to point this FACT out for YEARS!
The greatest argument against immigration is that we are RUNNING OUT of everything: clean water and power in particular.
The worlds population is EXPLODING! and honestly, we have to start looking after our own. It’s long past time we completely shut the door on additional immigration for the sake of our children and their children.
? we are already running out of clean water and the limits of our power generating capacity.
Let the UN declare it a "refugee resettlement area" and give China a mandate to govern it for the next 50 years. Give every country with a population density greater than Kansas a 50 year or more rest from importing the third world.
Once Somalia is filled up, find another broken third world country with similar characteristics and make them into the next multi-cultural utopia in like manner.
