This isn't Malthusian or even Paul Erlich. It is a situation where we actually have control over the number of people entering this country every year. Where does it say that we must allow 1.2 million to come in legally, not to mention the 500,000 to 1 million who enter illegally? The US has the highest rate of population growth in the developed world, i.e., .89% annually, mainly due to immigration, legal and illegal. Demography is destiny.
Those who want to build a fence along our border with Mexico — people like me — *don’t* want unfettered illegal immigration; on the other hand, the malthusians are found across the political spectrum, and can easily be talked into the position taken by the Party of Treason, the Party of the Single Party State, and vote in favor of rationing, “carbon taxes”, and other draconian measures, because it pretends to address the issue of a supposedly shrinking pie.
