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?
The Center for Immigration Studies announced that a D.C. district judge will allow its lawsuit against DHS for not complying with federal law requiring an assessment of how immigration policy affects the environment to proceed.
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.
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.

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.

Americans are living more densely, on average, but we've paved over more than eleven-and-a-half million acres over the past two decades. Most of the loss is a result of the U.S. population growing by nearly 40 million people – a result of Congressional immigration policy.
With strong public commitment and political support for immigration reduction, aggregate water consumption could be reduced even more, allowing still more water to remain where it belongs — in natural streams, rivers, and lakes — where it furnishes ecological benefits to habitat, wildlife, and society.
The issue of high levels of immigration is not unique to the United States. An op-ed from the United Kingdom's The Times explains how Britain has recently grappled with the same situation. The overarching point is applicable to the United States: resources and land are finite and housing shortages are already pervasive.
