Dear HCN,
None of the
writers in HCN — including Marston (HCN, 2/3/03: The son of
immigrants has a change of heart), Nijhuis (HCN, 12/23/02: Holding
open the door to the good life up north) and Pritchett (HCN,
2/17/03: Anti-immigration myopia) — understand that the world
population grows by 11,000 babies per hour, 264,000 per day and
more than 88 million per year, according to the World Health
Organization. Mexico and South America are baby factories not
likely to stop unless the pope dies. Our country is being overrun
by 2.3 million immigrants per year, legal and illegal. They run
from the consequences of no family planning in their own countries,
only to bring a “human horde” to our country. With our current
immigration-driven growth rate, the U.S.A. will add 200 million
people by mid-century. If you think your green lawns and swimming
pools are important today, in 50 years you’ll be lucky to
flush your toilet and enjoy a glass of water. The more extreme our
numbers, the more extreme our children’s consequences. May I
suggest www.numbersusa.com to take action.
