Reply #9: We can't take in "huddled masses" forever... [View All]

But we can send aid (techno, money, expertise, etc.) to other countries, so people can reclaim their own homelands. To keep bringing in more and more people is like a husband and wife thinking they must have 10 children because they had the first 2 ~ simply silly. The couple has a responsibility to the children they already have to be able to provide for them. We're like a family completely out of control! Many scientists believe that within thirty years huge sections of the southwest will run out of water ~ and that's just one example.

As far as corporate shutdowns for noncompliance, I'm definitely with you! Unfortunately the Bush admin. has dismantled most of the policies that were in place to police this stuff ~ it'll take a while to put three decades of environmental work back together.
