7 Billion Mark Is Reminder of Futility of Destroying America in Attempt to Help the World

By Roy Beck

The projection that today the world population passed the 7-billion mark was a grim reminder that global population continues to grow by some 80 million a year. Should the American people open our doors to as much of that population surplus as possible each year? Do we have a moral obligation to do so. Yes, … Continued

We spent a good part of our first date in January 1967 discussing Martin Luther King and getting excited that we shared very similar concerns about racial discrimination.

I have grown accustomed to well-funded open-borders groups sending hecklers to call me a “white supremacist” every place I speak.
