Polling shows that large majorities of Americans say it is important to have ready access to open space, and that we feel spiritually and emotionally rejuvenated by the time we spend in natural areas. Each day in America, an estimated 6,000 acres of open space is developed. The Census Bureau projects the U.S. population will add 75 million people by the Year 2060, with roughly 90 percent of that growth resulting from immigration.
If the idea of booking a timed-entry reservation to experience the splendor of America's wild spaces seems like something out of a dystopian science fiction fantasy, the future is here. The national park system has grown significantly over its 150-year history, but the demand for access has grown faster. How is mass immigration going to help?
Democratic Mayors Muriel Bowser of Washington, DC and Eric Adams of New York City now see how the current, record border crossings are a burden on city resources and homeless shelters. They are pleading to the Biden administration for help.
National security involves many things, including domestic food security. That is becoming increasingly more difficult as immigration policy is driven by the premise that the United States needs to add as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
Immigration-driven population growth and its secondary pressure on state-to-state migration is leading to further development over habitat and further endangering already beleaguered wildlife.
Using immigration to grow the economy is a short-term vision with long-term consequences, some of which we're just beginning to pay attention to.
The U.S. needs more immigrants, many more, to "grow the economy" we are constantly being told by economic "experts." We don't want to be like Japan, they say. Yet, Japan scores much higher than the U.S. on most economic indicators, including its ability to avoid the high inflation gripping the U.S. and the E.U.
Anti-growth is a 90-to-10 voter issue in Colorado that almost no elected, corporate or civic leaders in the state are talking about in this election season.
A new poll of 1,024 likely voters by Rasmussen Reports found that:
As development consumes farmland to accommodate more people, the demand for food also grows. America's capacity to provide basic resources (water, food, fiber) to its citizens is on a collision course with its population growth. Beyond the short term, however, they can only hope to slow the loss of farmland growth — not stop it — if the national population continues to increase by more than two million people each year.
In the long-term, federal immigration policy is projected to drive nearly all future population growth. Thus, the ultimate fate of American agriculture is in the hands of federal policy makers

One of the few areas of steady bipartisan consensus is that mass immigration is the silver bullet to solve a wide variety of issues in the country. This brings us to the tragic story out of Alabama where it has been discovered young children were being employed at a Hyundai subsidiary. These are the collateral damage stories for the pie-in-the-sky 'nation of immigrants' narrative we are told.
