Changing the technologies by which we consume is unlikely to reduce overall impact as long as we continue to increase the number of consumers. The United States has one of the highest per capita consumption rates in the world. Population growth here has a greater impact than in other countries. Unsustainably-high levels of legal and illegal immigration undercut any good-faith effort to reduce overall consumption and emissions.
You may have heard from some circles that the Biden Administration is proposing to ban asylum and that it is an example of President Biden adopting policies of former President Donald Trump. These critics either have not read the proposed rule or believe even attempting bureaucratic virtue signaling to deter migrant flows at the border is forbidden.
Second verse, same as the first. H-2A agricultural workers from Mexico are suing their domestic employers for unpaid wages. Allegations include failure to reimburse for the costs of obtaining their visas (as had been promised), the promised wage rate in their contract not matching what they were actually paid, and failure to pay overtime.
The official unemployment rate continues to drop, but job prospects for Americans diminish with the ongoing surge of foreign workers into the U.S.
The low-wage immigration strategy isn't paying off for the majority of Americans. Meanwhile, the border crisis continues, despite efforts to make it less visible to the public.
President Biden deludes on the border instead of securing it.
There are 160 million adults worldwide who want to permanently relocate to the United States today. New York City is buckling under 30,000.
It has long been obvious that we need to turn off the jobs magnet, but with 1.2 million "known gotaways" over our porous border during the Biden administration, it's more urgent than ever that E-Verify requirements be implemented for all employers.
The Democratic Party acknowledges that human population growth endangers biodiversity and threatened species...in other countries. At home, party leaders support immigration policies that accelerate U.S. population growth.
While much of the media and our political leaders spend their time singing the sad song of employers claiming they cannot find anyone to work, the long list of forced labor, discrimination, and stolen wages continues unabated. This time, there is a new Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment of some Virginia laundry companies for forced labor, money laundering (unironically), and other offenses. The forced labor allegations included a previously trafficked child of only 13 who was forced to work nights after school.
