That was a great presentation.

Nonetheless, it tends to convince me that indeed environmental mythology is being used to promote racist policies.

The presentation gives no evidence that immigration is destroying the United States. Rather, immigrants are portrayed as a "red" scare while us citizens are green.

Zero population growth-- remember that bogus argument-- is portrayed as ideal. "family planning" is also idealized. "They" need to have fewer children.

The decades portrayed as immigration disaster-- since 1965-- are the most prosperous the US has ever had. In fact, the entire globe has massively profited from the growth of the US economy leading to massive reductions in poverty across key "overpopulation centers" such as China and India.

If the immigration disaster that the presenter suggests has happened since 1965 is true, why is the US economy the biggest and strongest in the world?

There is no good answer to this.

The idea that there is a practical way to stop immigration is ridiculous. As long as global conditions continue to be so transparently horrible, huge waves of human beings will try to escape. There will never be an easy consciencious solution to these human waves.

The clinical effort to appeal to the long discredited overpopulation myths and ecological collapse will not make the painful medicine go down any easier.

The U.S. economy has been coasting on the tremendous lead it achieved after World War II. Now that our productive capabilities have been crippled for the sake of global interdependency, technological superiority has been compromised to China (wonder who's responsible for that?) and technological innovation itself has been retarded by an unneeded and uninvited population of menial laborers sucking off the infrastructure provided by and meant for citizens - don't expect your apple to look so polished in the immediate future.

We need to return to pre-1965 immigration standards that favor the best and the brightest from all over the planet rather than retain this Ted Kennedy-built monstrosity that has favored third-worlders lucky by proximity for the last four decades.
