A group dedicated to saving the planet by cutting runaway population increases is raising a new and shocking issue in Washington’s bitter fight over immigration reform: Most of the nation’s population growth is from immigrants, and they are consuming resources dangerously fast.
According to Negative Population Growth Inc., 80 percent of the growth in U.S. population comes from immigration, legal, illegal and among American-born children of immigrants...
... "Our nation is already vastly overpopulated,” said Mann. “The evidence is all around us: Millions are out of work, schools and hospitals are overcrowded, our natural resources are dwindling, pollution is increasing, and our infrastructure and social services are crumbling under the strain. Yet U.S. population is still growing by an average of over 6,600 people per day, and nearly 2.5 million people per year. We simply cannot afford to continue our growth.

What’s the carbon footprint of the current batch of illegal aliens? How much more CO2 will they produce living in the US versus living in Central America?
Very sad...but very true.
That’s a “shock”?
Not to anybody who has been outside..
Well...they do eat a lot of beans....hmmmm
False premise. This country is no where near overpopulated.
Our water shortages on the West Coast are due to mismanagement of resources and protecting bait fish.
there is no reason why the San Juaqin Valley has been turned a veritable desert.
The crumbling infrastructure is due piss poor management of labor, the burdened costed of their present value and extortionist benefits packages.
Power outages? Uhmmm build a few nuke and coal powered plants, then tell the Sierra Club you’ve a good mind to club a few baby seals and make lamp oil out of whales if they don’t just sit down and STFU.
Whew! It’s on Wednesday and already I’ve solved a few problemos.....
Wascist....Plick....
So that’s all you’ve got?
Your part of the problem then! That you don’t like this news won’t make it go away—keep that head buried in the sand like a lib in denial.
Look around—is this really the same country that it was 20 years ago?
“Tell me how a culture that feeds it’s parasites and encourages them to breed can ever survive those numbers?”
The Constitution isn’t a suicide pact.
Nail meet hammer!
It’s not that we’re allowing too many immigrants, but too many of the wrong type. There are plenty of intelligent, well educated people that would like to immigrate but we make it very difficult for them to come to this country legally.
Uhhh scary.....
Do you even bother to read posts or are you just another knee-jerk reactor?
Prove I’m a leftist clown!
This country is going down the shitter and all you can do is call people “trolls” who disagree with you. You’re living proof that conservatives shoot their own.
California is the rest of the naion’s destiny.
You’re gone, fascist DU troll.
Bye-bye.
Shock? Since when?
Uh-huh......
Yawn....................
This article didn’t tell me (or anyone else who’s been paying attention) anything we didn’t know 20 years ago!!
No question about it.
