Rapid global population growth bringing up the immigration problems?

Question

That's my theory, how do you see it?

Pancha, if 100,000 cambodians showed up in Mexico tomorrow, looking for work and a place to stay, I guarantee Mexico would have a national episode about that. Shall we talk about how Mexico treats Guatemalans? LOLOL Don't 'xenophobe' me...you're just trying to sweet-talk Mexico into the United States! Be honest, now...

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

That has been though out history of the world. But the pressures of today in our global economy and the speed of which we travel is going to be a major impact if we don't curve population growth world wide. Right now we are at 6 billion which 4.5 billion are poor. By 2050 at the same rate of growth we will be 9 billion and 6.8 billion being poor. Impact yes, especially to the western rich countries. Young people of today in the US won't have what their grandparents or their parents had as a quality of life and they will live with less in a larger extended family group. Without a history of how good it once was they wouldn't miss a thing.There will be more segregated groups more between the rich and poor. That is occurring now so that won't change much in the future as that aspect of being human hasn't changed since the beginning or time. Rich don't hang out with the poor and they won't in the future. The rich will have more security that is also why it is a growing field. It is happening now slowing under the radar just like illegal immigration went under the radar up until the last two years. Unlike animals who react to changes humans just go with the flow for good or bad and then get mad. By then it is much much to late. Forewarned is forearmed but 90% of the time it falls on deaf ears. Remember the human race is not an endangered specie so more of us the less we will all have.

Answer 3

No, not so much.

Most immigrants come from countries who have governmental problems, first and foremost. Good government leads to prosperity, bad government leads to war, famine, disease, death--and emigration.

Even poor people can farm land and survive, eventually prosper, if they have the wherewithal to do so. Infrastructure is necessary to provide water and sanitation, seed and equipment. Those things come hand in hand with an overseeing government body which, whether they start out prosperous or not, actually puts the needs of its people first. If you look at the governments which exist in countries whose people are leaving in droves, you'll see corruption and turmoil going back decades, if not longer.

Get a good government in power, and people will stay, no matter where it is.

Answer 4

High birth rates tend to correlate with low socio-economic status. Thus, in Europe, where socio-economic status is high, birth rates are low. The European economy is still growing, though, and there are plentiful jobs, so immigrants from high birth rate, low quality-of-life countries in Northern Africa are flooding in.

In America, we still have above replacement birth rates (meaning there are more children born than the prior generation), but we have even more plentiful jobs. Thus, America is a magnet for immigrants from high birthrate, low quality of life countries in Central and South America.

It's important to note that economic growth depends, in part, on population growth. Thus, asking a state to reduce its population growth is asking it to condemn itself to a depressed economy.

Answer 5

It may be part of the problem but not actual reason at this point. In my opinion, unfair global financial system is the root cause. For last three centuries Industrialized nations controlled the resources of whole world, causing disporportinate prosperity of their nations at the expense of lack of basic necessities for underdevelop nations. Here are some examples:

1- US has a total economy of 13 trillion dollars. Since dollar has lost 15% of its value in last 5 years, it would be rather 11 trillion, but in absence of a neutral world financial system, US economy still enjoys the status of 13 trillion. It is like your house losses 15% of its value but you still insists not to let reduce the total value by 15% when try to sell it or get a loan. Is it possible?

2- US governament has 8 trillion loans. At a rate of 6% annual payment should be around 600 billlions + 600 billions on health care + 600 billions on military expenses ( rough underestimation). This comes total of 1800 billion from total of 2000 billion tax receipts. Now goverment has to spend money on its huge federal employees, congress, education, financial aid to favorite nations in billions ( like Israel get 3-4 billion every year) and so on. Where does that money come from. Deficit financing means either government gets loans or print extra 500 billion dollars bills. This in return reduce the value of US dollar or in other words value of your house. Can you give me example of any underdeveloped nation of the world who can afford to have such a balance sheet ? Moreover, is there any poor nation in the world who has more than 60% of its GDP as loan and still enjoys have final say in world financial matters? Below is an example of how we have a final say in world education system.

3- Majority of nations are buying oil for 6 dollars per gallon for years inside their their country. Nothing was done about prices. When americans have to buy it for 3 dollars, finally in election year, prices have been reduced to 2 dollars. Moreover, gallon of milk cost more than oil here. Due you think if we would be selling oil to other nations this would be the case? Resources of poor nations are bought for pennies and finished product are sold back at inflated prices.

This is the reason poor nations remain poor and in order to get better life they have no other option but to come to industrialized nations to do jobs which we won't do. Otherwise just tell me, who would like to leave their country? If there are no jobs for these people they will return tommarow. But this is not going to happen. Somebody has to clean the toilets, grow crops in burning sun, build houses in extreme weather. Somebody has to keep reminding us how rich we are and how much we can insult these poor immigrants and how much unthankful we need to be or in other words being arrogant. Peace.
