National & International Immigration Crises Earmark Of Overpopulation.

[TheMastersNemesis]

We must face the fact that growing immigration problems are a sign that the earth is over populated with many people facing terrible deprivation and lack of opportunity of even having basic decent living arrangements. Failing governments, war and unrest is creating a sea of refugees fleeing violence and economic inequality.

The US is hardly the only nation facing immigration crisis. We are not dealing with the real issues of our planet.

1. Whatever the 'real issues' are,

no one will 'deal' with them, neither the U.S. or the international community.

2. we are not facing an actual immigration crisis.

net migration into the united states is well within what we can reasonably absorb.

it's a *political* crisis for republicans because immigration favors democrats and it's becoming harder and harder for republicans to steal elections. consequently, they're turning it into an ethnic issue to get their bigot base riled up.

but it's not a real crisis in the sense that we could absorb plenty of immigrants without great difficulty. it's not like we're running out of land. yet.
