More About: ImmigrationRelationship between legal versus illegal immigration
Americans today suffer a legal and illegal
migration invasion unprecedented in US history. It affects every state in the Union
concerning schools, hospitals, jobs, crime, diseases and our national language.
With over three million legal and illegal
immigrants streaming into our country annually, the invasion quickens across
the nation. People complain, join anti-illegal immigration groups and speak up
in greater numbers.
But what many don’t complain about is the
unending and gargantuan problem of ‘legal’ immigration that proves just as
deadly. Before 1965 when we numbered 193 million citizens and a sustainable
society, a steady flow of 170,000 legal immigrants arrived in America and we
easily absorbed in by assimilating by learning our language and becoming
productive citizens.
We were able to take that many immigrants into America
because that many people exited from the United States. Once the 1965
Immigration Reform Act hit us, from 1.1 to 1.5 million legal immigrants arrived
year after year. By 2010, they have created massive and growing havoc across
America, and their numbers and children added 100 million to the USA by 2006.
Another 100 million people expect to call
America their home within 25 years. But the media won’t breathe a word! Neither
will scientists or political leaders. We’re
racing toward a demographic cliff at 100 miles per hour!
Legal immigrants from 1965 arrived in such
massive numbers; they began enclaving and not assimilating. They’ve built
city-states completely separated from mainstream America. They kept their own
language and mores of their former societies. Their consequences grow as their
numbers grow.
Dr. John Tanton, publisher and editor of www.thesocialcontract.com brings a
sobering look at our dilemma concerning legal immigrants.
“In the early years of our work on the
immigration question, we viewed legal and illegal as fairly separate and distinct
phenomena,” Tanton said. “They seemed to require different measures for their
control.”
“Illegal immigration was, of course illegal,
and hence, easy to oppose,” Tanton said. “The measures needed for its
containment included such things as more border patrol agents, better detection
of illegals within the country, employer sanctions, more care at our embassies
overseas in issuing visas, repatriation to the country of origin (or in the
case of Mexico, deep into Mexico, rather than just across the border), and so
on.”
As corporations found out in the 80’s, for
example in meatpacking, which used to pay $17.10 per hour and as high as $19.00
an hour with benefits, employers could hire illegal aliens
for $6.00 and hour and no complaints. Soon, living wage jobs for Americans
vanished as corporation after corporations drove out American workers and
imported illegal aliens.
“Legal immigration in contrast seemed to
require reconsideration of such things as family reunification, education
policy for foreign students, economic effects, the brain drain, and the related
questions of asylum and refugees,” Tanton said. “We did not see – or at least I
didn’t – that legal immigration per se was one of the major causes of illegal
immigration.”
“This realization came through reading Phil
Martin’s recent papers on immigration, in which he characterized the causative
factors as demand-pull, supply-push, and “networks,” Tanton said. “The
“networks” are those informal channels of communication that transport cash,
goods, and information from the United States to the country of origin. Since
the direction of the flow is away from us, we tend not see it. It is this
counter flow that helps stimulate interest in (and facilitate) emigration.”
That flow now includes a $7 billion annual
human smuggling operation from the Pacific Rim which includes two million
illegal Chinese imbedded into America and growing. Canada suffers an invasion
from China whereby Vancouver, B.C., is completely inundated with legal and
illegal Chinese, commensurate gangs and violence. Vancouver is being vacated by
longtime Canadian citizens as it’s too inhospitable.
“In the United States, we tend to look at
immigration as either legal or illegal, as outlined above,” Tanton said. “I
contend that in the country of origin, migration is looked at as either go or
not go. Whether or not it’s legal is, I believe, a minor point. If legal spots
are available, fine. If not, there are plenty of rationalizations available to
justify proceeding illegally: the need to feed family; the irredentist idea
that the land was stolen from the migrants’ forefathers in the first place (an
idea applicable for some Mexicans); the several amnesties we’ve given to
illegal aliens
indicating that we’re not really serious; the welcoming reception by employers,
welfare workers, and church people; the back-across-the-border-and-try-again
charade of the border patrol; etc. Legality is not a major consideration.”
“Put simply, high levels of migration,
whether legal or illegal, beget high levels of migration, whether legal or
illegal, because the network flows back to the country of origin encourage
others to try emigration,” Tanton said. “Without reducing legal immigration, we
are unlikely to succeed in reducing the illegal variety.”
At the current rate of legal migration of 1.5
million annually and 800,000 illegally into the USA, along with 1.1 million
population momentum—that equals 3.1 plus million people added to this country
annually. Multiplying by 60 years will give this country will add 300 million
or an unsustainable doubling of our population to 600,000 million people.
It begs the question: Do we want to leave our children with
these huge numbers of people in a resource depleted world? Will they appreciate
their diminished standard of living and quality of life? Once those horrific
numbers manifest themselves via immigration into the USA, they won’t vanish
over night. They constitute an irreversible crisis with unsolvable problems.
One look at China, India and Bangladesh makes an American
shudder. They are NOW where we are headed if we fail to stabilize US population
by lowering immigration both legal and illegal to 100,000 annually.

Roy Beck, director of www.numbersusa.ORG,
graphically illustrates the impact of overpopulation. Take five minutes

This 10 minute demonstration shows Americans the results of
unending mass immigration on the quality of life and sustainability for future
generations: in a word “Mind boggling!” www.NumbersUSA.org
If any of us, no matter what our race, creed or color might
be, refuse to engage our U.S. Congress as we have not for 30 years as to the population/immigration
equation-our children will find themselves living in a terribly degraded
America where the American Dream will be described by the history books as a
'fleeting fantasy' from the era of 1950 to 2010.

The reading public should be warned of Frosty a.k.a. Frostytute’s madness. To bullyrag the American public with the "tribulations" of immigration and overpopulation as causes of humankind’s suffering is totally bull crap.
the horror link is here:I serve notice to the Republicans in Congress not be carried away by the bogus prophesy of immigration and population nuts.
Depopulating the United States [because it is overcrowded [???] only comes from the minds of crackpots like this one who rides a bicycle to exercise not the brain in his head but in his legs where this weird thinking comes from. You see, eliminating millions of people by stopping immigration and by sterilization if not murder and genocide to ensure a "better life" for the few … can you think of it other than pure madness?

Frosty, I have no interest in reading your entire post, but I just wanted to ask you one question.
How many people, raised in the US by immigrant parents, do you know of, that do not speak fluent English?
I'll be waiting for you to answer this question, but we all know you don't want to, because it would expose you as nothing more than a hate filled, Numbers USA parrot.
Your xenophobic paranoia would be comical if it weren't actually destroying innocent peoples lives and families, enslaving and bankrupting us all, and destroying the US economy.
Get a life, and leave the immigrants alone.
