The immigration factor: if we do nothing"America in 2050  
 
Part 9:  The Immigration factor"if we do nothing"America in 2050
 
If we continue on our current immigration path of adding 3.1 million immigrants annually"legally, illegally and their birthrates"America will add 138 million people to this country within 38 years.  We will accelerate from 315 million today to 438 million people.  What will it look like for our children?  How will that number of people affect our viability as to water, energy, resources, quality of life and standard of living?  What will America look like in 2050?
 
How many people does an added 138 million mean?  It equates to three more states the size of California now at 38 million.   It means that California, already overrun via immigration in 2012 and failing, will exceed 60 million people by 2050.  Right now, the sprawling, Brown Cloud-covered mega-city known as Denver, Colorado, exceeds 2.25 million people.  Another 138 million more people will create 65 more Denver, Colorado’s. It means the residents of those cities will have to be watered, fed, warmed, cooled, transported, sewage treatment plants, schools, teachers, malls, roads built and provided jobs. 
 
Cost?  Trillions of dollars that we don’t possess. Environmentally?
 
On a sociological level, it will change the entire demographic equation from a dominant European culture"to that of an entrenched and intractable poverty for tens of millions that arrive from cultures mired in poverty and illiteracy.  It means degraded education, endless welfare, disenfranchisement and crime.  It will destroy America’s middle class as wages and jobs degrade to the lowest wages because of so many millions of people willing to work for so much less. 
 
We will see more cities like Detroit fail as Americans flee further into the middle of the country and further north.
 
What word best describes third world countries like Haiti, Mexico, India, Bangladesh, Indochina and others?  Why can’t those countries rise out of their poverty?  Why can’t they succeed?  Answer: illiteracy.  Today, Detroit, Michigan, suffers from endless immigration while Americans flee.  Detroit sports a 76 percent dropout/flunkout rate in Detroit public schools. (Source: Brian Williams NBC News, June, 2010)  CNN reported that 7,000 students drop out of America’s high schools every single day of the nine month school year; one every 26 seconds; total of 1.2 million annually.  Folks, that stands as a monumental number of illiterate people. That number illustrates our devolvement into a third world country.
 
In 2012, the American Reading Foundation states that 42 million Americans cannot read, write or perform simple math.  Result: massive functional illiteracy.  Thus, we pay for 46.9 million Americans to subsist on food stamps.  Take a guess at how that rate will rise as our illiteracy rates explode with the importation of 100 million third world immigrants?  I predict that over 100 million foreign born and their children-immigrants from the third world will be subsisting on food stamps within 38 years.  What’s left of our meager working force will be taxed to death to pay for our new poverty class.
 
Another 100 million people imported from the third world will change the United States from a very successful civilization to a polyglot of ethnic and religious tensions and outright hostile rivalries. 
 
As water, resources, food and energy become scarce and horribly expensive, we will see ethnic groups banding into enclaves to save themselves.  Has anyone visited Mexico City, San Paulo, Dacca, Mumbai, Soweto, Cairo and other poverty stricken overcrowded cities?  You cannot escape the stench, the poison air, the putrification and the utter hopelessness of their situations.
 
Once that 138 million more people add themselves to the United States, everyone becomes a victim.  Escape?  Fix it?  Change it?  Don’t you think if Mexicans, Indians, Brazilians, Africans and Egyptians could change their cities into positive living environments"they would?    Again, “illiteracy” cannot change a bad situation to a good situation.  Look at Haiti.  No matter how much money, aid, food and materials we give them"two years later, their country remains a living nightmare.  They can’t help themselves. Why? Massive illiteracy.
 
Americans do not possess any idea of what’s coming as we add 138 million more third world immigrants.  Remember this: the more extreme our numbers the more extreme our children’s consequences.  It’s not going to be pretty for anyone.
 
Part 10:  What we face as to environmental destruction as to species extinction, loss of arable land, air pollution, acidified oceans, acid rain, depleted soils.
 
Again, look at what’s coming visually:
 
In a five minute astoundingly simple yet brilliant video, “Immigration, Poverty, and Gum Balls”, Roy Beck, director of www.numbersusa.ORG, graphically illustrates the impact of overpopulation.  Take five minutes to see for yourself:
 
“Immigration by the numbers"off the chart” by Roy Beck
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
 
Again, join forces to stop this invasion of our country facilitated by our U.S. Congress.  www.NumbersUSA.org ; www.CapsWeb.org ; www.FAIRUS.org
These three organizations give you the collective power to change the course of history by stopping mass immigration.
