You may consider the deeper implications the author is suggesting. Each of the points you listed are unsustainable - what happens when the free sh!t army doesn't get their cheese?

For those who don't understanding what is occurring, I'll spell it out for you: the USA you knew and expected to continue for the foreseeable future is done. What comes next is anyone's guess, but the divide will be along racial/economic lines.

All the dirty laundry that has been accumulating for the last 50 years is going to be washed. Without the strong arm of the fed.gov forcing chosen outcomes, it's gonna be like the "good ole' days", except we won't have (a) an open frontier in which to bleed off population pressure; and (b) a significant % of the world's critical resources in which to drive production.

There is no doubt that the welfare state is already Balkanizing us along class, race, ethnic, and cultural lines. There is a growing wealth gap between whites/Asians and blacks/Hispanics. We are taking on the profile of a third world country with a permanent underclass and declining middle class and an the wealthy. The result will be more gated communities, increased crime, and the poor fighting among themselves for government handouts and jobs.

Since 1965 our immigration polices have changed rapidly the demographics of this country. The U.S. adds one international migrant (net) every 36 seconds. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 80 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest it has been in our history. And by 2050, one in 5 residents of the U.S. will be foreign-born.

Currently, 1.6 million legal and illegal immigrants settle in the country each year; 350,000 immigrants leave each year, resulting in a net immigration of 1.25 million. Since 1970, the U.S. population has increased from 203 million to 310 million, i.e., over 100 million. In the next 40 years, the population will increase by 130 million to 440 million. Three-quarters of the increase in our population since 1970 and the projected increase will be the result of immigration. The U.S., the world’s third most populous nation, has the highest annual rate of population growth of any developed country in the world, i.e., 0.977 percent (2010 estimate), principally due to immigration.

87 percent of the 1.2 million legal immigrants entering annually are minorities as defined by the U.S. Government and almost all of the illegal aliens are minorities. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under in the U.S. will be classified as minorities and by 2039, half of the residents of this country will be minorities. In 1970, non-Hispanic whites comprised 89 percent of the population; today they are 66 percent; and by 2042, they will be 50 percent.

Yes, the chickens are coming home to roost. Read this sobering piece by Victor Davis Hanson--The Tragic View Returns The therapeutic society’s world view has become unsustainable.
