[h=3]"The level of immigration should be set...to advance the well-being of American families, not to maximize gross domestic product."[/h]The mainstream media is spinning the Census Bureau's data to imply our national population is shrinking. This narrative is simply untrue. Our country is poised to gain another 79 million people by 2060 - and roughly 90% is due to immigration.
The Washington Post published an editorial saying the country needs to provide amnesty to 11 million and "absorb plenty more immigration" in order to "compete and thrive." Readers across the country pushed back:
Lex Reifell's response states bluntly that "there is no respectable case for population growth in any country." He further asserts that "the level of immigration should be set in the context of a sensible long-term population policy designed to advance the well-being of American families, not to maximize gross domestic product."
Tom Luebben agrees in his letter:
"I don't oppose immigration, but the editorial is stunning for its lack of thoughtfulness and critical insight with respect to population growth. Decrying the falling U.S. birth rate and the difficulty of supporting a growing elder population, it advocates "robust population growth. The ideology of endless population and economic growth on this small planet is the biggest Ponzi scheme in human history, and it cannot continue indefinitely without catastrophic collapse."
The Los Angeles Times is on the immigration-driven population growth bandwagon, as they published this bogus article claiming we need immigration to continue growing our population for the sake of the economy. Three people wrote letters to the editor with their criticisms:
Alexandra Paul makes the benefits of a slower population growth rate clear because "it means more available water, cleaner air, manageable classrooms, less destruction of nature and less traffic. There is a tradeoff for everything. The media need to start seeing the positives of slower growth."
Francine Oschin agrees with the environmental and quality of life gains from a smaller population: "Our roads were not as congested, and we did not need as much water, natural gas or electricity.....We should celebrate the decrease in population and not try to find more human beings to add to our already overburdened infrastructure."
Norman Rodewald further questions the hypocrisy: "Previously, The Times reported on high housing costs, coastal cities planning retreats because of sea level rise and homes destroyed by wildfires."
Two additional articles respond to the inaccurate narrative the media pushed by linking immigration levels to our national population growth:
Gary Wockner writes that "the two million people added to the U.S. every year, mostly by immigration, create a new Los Angeles-sized footprint on the U.S. landscape and environment every five years."
Karen Shragg echoes the sentiment:
"The fuzzy math and brain twisting brought these otherwise intelligent journalists and commentators to the false conclusion that the population of the US itself was in decline. The key word is RATE here. So for the first time in 100 years the rate of population growth is declining, that is a cause for a cupcake size celebration. Let's take a look at what happened to US population in 100 years. It grew by nearly 225, 000,000 people putting tremendous pressure on our limited resources. So if the rate of growth is slowing that just means the trend is going down not the actual numbers. The actual numbers in fact are going up, mostly due to immigration." www.NumbersUSA.com

I'm not even sure what the liberal consensus is on immigration. The major institutions, donors and their ilk are obviously for the more the merrier. My friend sent me a clip from Real Time when Maher brought this census data up and he said "This is great, we have too many people and we don't have enough resources for all of them now." The whole crowd cheered in unison, they basically seem to agree.

Somehow they can't make the connection that we don't need a massive increase in people with the idea we don't need a massive influx of people.

Good response w/ this being the best excerpt

"According to the CDC, Medicaid funded 59% of Hispanic women’s deliveries in 2018 and 46% of those women were foreign born, mostly from Mexico and Central America.The largest entitlement is a free public education. U.S. schools aren’t suffering from a student shortage. America isn’t suffering from a worker shortage. America isn’t suffering from a people shortage. The U.S. doesn’t need any more immigrants."

But liberals/conservatives that run the country basically agree America is just an idea and a strip mall so it will continue. Most of the voters too stupid to care anyway.

I've heard more about Israel in the last week than the border or BLM crime surge in the past 5 months combined. And that's from Republicans only.

Love the fact first Mexico was paying for the "wall" then it was US taxes..Now the great state of Texas is up for the cost via crowd funding?

Never mind the poor electrical grid in Texas.. the worst rates in the US for those with health insurance and an infrastructure (roads dams and levees) that were graded D in this years infrastructure report card given by the American society of civil engineers...

Go Abbott go..Red state that'll be blue before you know it thanks to the GOP>

[h=1]Senate Republicans Kill Anti-Advocacy Bill[/h]Thanks, in part, to the activism of NumbersUSA members, Senate Republicans blocked the For the People Act, S. 2093, from coming to floor on Tuesday.
Billed as a voter reform bill, the legislation would have also placed severe restrictions on citizen advocacy groups, like NumbersUSA. The For the People Act would make it much more difficult for NumbersUSA to provide our immigration-reduction grade cards and candidate comparisons and to inform members on upcoming legislation.
Further, it would require public disclosure of most donors each time NumbersUSA took a position on legislation, discouraging individuals from participating in citizen advocacy.
