It wasn't I who had to go from explaining how ‘yes, the Earth's population is expanding’ to getting all bent out of shape about ‘expanding? are you not paying attention!’; and then back to an admission that yes indeed the Earth's population is expanding!

And you think you are winning such an argument? Calling you “delusional” is hardly an ad hominem at that point - it is an accurate assessment of reality.

I am not anti-Catholic - just against the theocratic idiocy of looking at reality through such a distorted prism that you come up with the idea that the Earth is underpopulated and illegal immigration is an economic boon to these United States.

High birth rates are the demographic model of economic basket case nations.

Lower than replacement rates are the demographic model of moribund socialist economies.

And reasonable birth rates are the demographic model of healthy Republics like our own.

That was my initial point and nothing you have said has detracted from this reality. Your inability to deal with this reality has led to you dishing out insults that your poor delicate sensibilities apparently couldn't take in return.

I am sorry that this discussion gave you a case of the vapors.

Unless you can show any causation, what you keep on repeating is irrelevant.

The total fertility rates for white women in America from 1800-1860 were this:

1800--7.04

1810--6.94

1820--6.73

1830--6.55

1840--6.14

1850--5.42

1860--5.21

I'd like to think that America from 1800 to 1860 was a "healthy Republic," not an "economic basketcase."
