“Whack-a-Mole” is Editor John
Mecklin’s free expression about opposition to immigration,
but if one opposes illegal aliens one is branded
“xenophobic” by Mr. Mecklin. I ask Mr. Mecklin, how
many times has he visited Mexico, or been billeted with blacks,
Hispanics or Asians? Ever had Hispanic roommates? People that
oppose illegal immigration (70 percent of Americans that were
polled oppose amnesty and illegal immigration) observe the
following: a negative $95 billion drain on our federal Health and
Human Services budget over and above what is paid in taxes by all
immigrants, yearly. A new city of 3 million is added to our
population each year so a city has to be erected to accommodate the
masses. What happened to the sound advice found in books like
Silent Spring, The Closing
Circle and The Population Bomb, which
warned of overpopulation’s whack on the environment?
“Sustainable” is the latest buzzword misused
by environmentalists, but when you factor in information like the
U.S. has 6 percent of the world’s population and consumes 25
percent of its resources, “sustainable” is oxymoronic.
It’s pretentious to call oneself environmentally responsible
and be pro-immigration in an era of high consumption.
