read it and weep much the same info with bonus details. not all land can sustain life and land has a limit as to the number of people it can sustain. FROM THE WEBSITE; David Pimentel, professor of ecology and agriculture at Cornell University, and Mario Giampietro, senior researcher at the National Research Institute on Food and Nutrition (INRAN), place in their study Food, Land, Population and the U.S. Economy the maximum U.S. population for a sustainable economy at 200 million. To achieve a sustainable economy the United States must reduce its population by at least one-third. Current U.S. population of more than 300 million and U.S. population growth of approximately three million people each year, partly fueled by immigration, are unsustainable, says study.[67] [68]
Perceived heavy immigration, especially in the southwest, has led to some fears about population pressures on the water supply in some areas. California continues to grow by more than a half million a year and is expected to reach 48 million in 2030.[69] According to the California Department of Water Resources, if more supplies are not found by 2020, residents will face a water shortfall nearly as great as the amount consumed today.[70] Los Angeles is a coastal desert able to support at most one million people on its own water.[71] California is considering using desalination to solve this problem.[72] ENVIRONMENT
Americans constitute approximately 5% of the world's population, but produce roughly 25% of the world’s CO2,[80] consume about 25% of world’s resources,[81] including approximately 26% of the world's energy,[82] although having only around 3% of the world’s known oil reserves,[83] and generate approximately 30% of world’s waste.[84][85] The average American's impact on the environment is approximately 250 times greater than the average Sub-Saharan African's.[86][87] This is, of course, a natural consequence of the U.S. producing about a quarter of the world's GDP. With current consumption patterns, population growth in the United States is therefore more of a threat to the Earth's environment than population growth in any other part of the world [88][89][90][91][92] (currently, at least 1.8 million legal and illegal immigrants settle in the United States each year; with the average Hispanic woman giving birth to 3 children in her lifetime).[93][94] Paul Ehrlich made the point that a state or nation may have a large land area or considerable wealth (which implies, by conventional wisdom, that overpopulation should not be at play), and yet be overpopulated.[95] The U.S. state of Arizona, for example, has enormous land area, but has neither the carrying capacity of arable land or potable water[96][97] to support its growing population. While it imports food, using its wealth to offset this shortfall, that only serves to illustrate that it has insufficient carrying capacity. The only way that Arizona (and Southern California) obtains sufficient water is by extraction of water[98] from the Colorado River beyond its fair share[99] (and beyond its own carrying capacity of innate water resources), based on international standards of fair use per lineal mile of river.[100][101][102]

What about the sign on lady liberty, bring me your poor, your huddled masses, your sick, your illegals, your criminals, your illegal drugs, plese funnel peole from all over the world and make money at it and help them enter illegally, slip them in behind me as I cannot turn, but someday when Congress is not voting on something important like another pay raise for them they will allow me t be put on a lazy Susan and there hire union workers to turn me around and I will see then and watch out.
You think that movie Jason and the Argonauts was bad with that dude, you ain't seen nothing.
That said I cannot understand why the govenment issues 8-9 million visas to yawho from all around the world and 3 milllionbreak the law and stay after it expires*. Then if Mexico is so STRICT AGAINST ILLEGALIMMIGRATION you can only say thaey are making money hand over fist allowing millins to flood into that country and bringing them here. The government knows that 1 in 7 caught at the border is fro a terror sponsoring nation. friends with Brazilian ties tell me the going rate for a family of four fro brazil is $3,000. They fly to MC then are taken to the border unpotection. How could all the folks make if up from South america and around the world if it was not so?
Then I wonder why 15,000 Chinese troops are in the panama Canal Zone and how they get across there.. Chevez, they say allows terrorist to train there. He's are friend?
The 12 millin 'FLUFF" figure is that, just n here people have suppplied the links to estimates of 38 millin and in 1986 one brought up tha the "number" the government thought would apply turned out to be 3 times as many. So my outragous number of 40-60 millin 'instant" Americans may be on the money.
No Americans are sick of it, the minorities are sick of not only the crime, but the fact that they circumvent the legal way to become an American. things are real different than when Reagan did it as they group is now from all over the wrold.
The rise in diseases we stopped is back, a overburdened boat will sink. there is no way. If they want a comproimse they set a numbe and they will have to go the route of everyone else in the line. Why have a law.
Also the drugs, we give a"drug czar" 3 billion or more a year for what? At $70,000 a year would that pay for 42,000 new border guards? What's UP? Take care.

I have not checked it for approximately per week now. My wi-fi at residence is all tousled. Service will probably be out to my residence on Thursday to repair it. I'm on Y!A at paintings correct now. My manufacturer blocks the capacity to determine individual e mail and myspace

Wow... that is powerful. No, I had not seen it before, so thank you for posting it. What we desperately need is a fresh perspective in our Congress... we need people who are proactive and have a true regard for the American people and their welfare. We continue to elect gray hairs who are from the old school of politics. They did not grow up with this problem and are in deep denial because it does not affect them. There is not one US congressman or senator who has a child in public education... so just how important do you think education is to them? In the 70's, California graduated 83% of its seniors and over 80% of those went to college. Now , Cailfonia graduates 39% of its seniors, and they do not go on to college. We hear more and more about teacher inadequacies... well, of course, most teachers aren't even certified anymore. Damn near anyone can come off the street and "teach".
We should all vote and pay very close attention to whom we vote for. It's our only salvation.

I still have prehistoric dial-up so I won't go there... Based upon the comments I've read about the video, I conclude it is some argument against unskilled illegals and their overpopulation of the USA. I would say that I do not agree with ignorant, unskilled foreigners flooding this country from any place on the globe. It's common sense that if you want your country to remain strong and competitive globally, you are not going to fill it with a bunch of people who haven't passed the 3rd grade but who are demanding citizenship.
**************************************************************
Mexico is very selective about who they will admit into their country, and yet, America gets flack from Mexico's rejects constantly about how racist American immigration policy is. Go home then.

When He pulled out that chart with the red, I said "Holy shi+!!!." We are on our way to being a third world country. If money grew on trees, this would not be a problem.
