i agree that immigration is everyone's problem. Those who say we are "underpopulated" are so out of touch with reality that there is no point arguing with them.

Look at all the traffic jams, the destruction of our historic sites, the urban sprawl. etc. Sure we have a lot of undeveloped areas, but mostly those areas don't have the water supply to support communities. Are we supposed to cut down our redwood forests and the Gettysburg battlefield to accomodate the population growth?

Our quality of life would be a lot better if there were fewer people. No one has yet come up with a realisitc answer why it is good for this country to keep bringing in more and more immigrants?

You're absolutely right. Their criteria for our being "underpopulated" is because we use only a fraction of our available land in America. But, let's say, you own a seven bedroom house, and there's only you and your wife. Let's say you have a comfortable lifestyle because you've worked hard.

According to these neo-socialists, you should open your home to your dead-beat cousins just because you have the room.

Our anglo-saxon ancestors made this country. The Mexicans didn't know what to do with the west. They've got vast natural resources in Mexico, and they still don't know what to do with it. So we appropriated the land and made something of it.

And the American Indian? I married a Seminole, and even they admit that the American Indian tribes were killing each other off. If we hadn't moved them onto reservations, they'd all be dead.

We have worked to create a comfortable life for ourselves. I do not see, in the Constitution or the Bible where I must forfeit my life to accomodate people who do not do for themselves.

We don't have the economic resources to care for a world which is too lazy or too stupid to care for itself.
