Look, I don't care if the bark like dogs, or make song bird noises. We have too many people...
My point is, most of the people in your city probably don’t speak English, hence they’re illegal, hence, they shouldn’t be in the country in the first place. There are only here because they came here illegally.
But then there are other figures to account for too. The country is facing a population crisis. Right now, we’re barely making it for replacement birth rate and it’s expected to go down. The only solution is to import people. Every successful economy needs new blood in order to survive, especially with our students in this country going for McDegrees in psychology and sociology and not something productive.
Problem is, we can’t control who we import. As it is right now, only 800 thousand people are allowed in the country a year. That counterbalances the 200 thousand that leave the country, the thousands that are incarcirated every year, and the 100 thousand people that die a year in this country to about 500 thousand net immigration. This country could absorb 500 thousand people a year in the country, provided they were all LEGAL.
And as for the example of your city, you’re using an anecdotal, localized example of a city not being able to take any more people.
Over where I live, we have the same problem too, but the other problem we’re beginning to have are suburbanites fleeing the exurbs due to high gas prices and moving into the city, jacking up the housing prices and making the population more centralized. In fact, it’s very rare to see a person where I live now that actually went to high school in the local area as opposed to going to high school in some far flung suburban school.
We’ll talk about this more later on. I’m on a library computer.
