Immigration; out of control!

bad_ptc's picture

Here's a link to a video that will really make you think; it's well worth watching, it points out a serious problem that affects the future of our country, our children and grandchildren. I was sent to me by a friend, if you have access to a fast internet connection I would advise using it vs. a dialup line.

Now keep in mind that this only addresses legal immigration.

Illegal immigration adds substantually to these numbers.

Immigration; out of control!

"Why are the american politicians covering for illegal mexicans. Peachtree City employees taking spanish lessons, fayette county bus drivers taking spanish lessons"

Because it's the smart thing to do unless you want to be left behind in business as the US progresses to a more diverse society. So, stop your non-sense xenophobic ranting and enroll in Spanish classes. They are available everywhere. We are here to stay and have plenty of children, integrate and enjoy the land and learn English.

What would that be? A driver's license? They can be had for about $75 (fake). What would you show when asked?
If we stop using any Mexicans, through contractors I assume you mean, what do we go by, their looks? Shape? Color? One can be suspicious but not sure of illegality. There are millions here LEGALLY.
Bankers just want the high interest they charge low wage earners with no credit rating.
The ONLY way is to put people who hire illegals in jail. Soon there won't be any here. No work, can't afford to live here.
How does an employer know either? He will have to check references, credit ratings, tax records, and a government issued imprinted card readable with a special machine only.

Brilliant presentation!

Beck's argument is in some ways similar to Garret Hardin's "Lifeboat Ethics" argument against the existence of a World Food Bank. [The idea: If developed countries intervene when third world countries are hit with famine, the populations of those countries will just keep growing, thus courting an even greater disaster later on.] Except Hardin's argument is mercilessly utilitarian and assumes questionable Malthusian assumptions about population growth. One need not be either selfish or xenophobic or utilitarian in order to see the soundness of Beck's argument. We are courting disaster, and it is our children and grandchildren who will suffer the consequences.

Is anyone in power listening?

......and nobody will. You see, immigration is driven by economics, so it doesn't really matter anybody'd rants and bigotry, immigrants are needed to fuel the economy and they will keep coming, with wall on the border, more border patrol agents and the like. The key problem here is not immigration, but integration. The problem with Mexicans (as opposed to Irish and Italians before them) is that Mexicans take more time to integrate and tend to live more in their culture, with the thought of making money and going back to Mexico sometime in the future.

The trend will continue, and Hispanics will become the largest minority (some 50 million) by 2030. Soooo.... it is a good time to influence your kids to learn Spanish and the ways of Spain and Latin America to foster understanding, as it is a good time to provide opportunities and a message to these immigrants that the American way is to integrate, learn English and fulfill the law of their new land. Viva Mexico!!

Don't worry, we only do as much as we wish to feed unfortunates--certainly not enough to save many lives. Otherwise we wouldn't have so many Darfurs.
If one follows this idiots suggestions (Malthusian) then we shouldn't have laws about seat belts, drinking while driving, baby seats, gun laws, hospitals, doctors, medicine, and pity.
I know he said only when you became destitute should you partially starve out or die, but I fail to see the difference to control population.
Besides, wars generally help with this problem, don't they. Look what happened to our birth rates during WWll. These kind of theories are mad thinking for application to all generations. Anyway each new baby was provided by God, wasn't it?

I'm no expert, but my take on things is that what we call the Baby Boom was precisely the result of horny WWII soldiers getting home and realizing what they had been missing in the European and Pacific theaters.

With ten million men at war in Europe and Asia most of the women here who were married to many of them had no children DURING the war, some did of course.
Lots of kids after the war didn't fill those slots missed in those years.

Take the 13 minutes to view this video. It is a must see. Let me rephrase this..... IT IS A MUST SEE FILM

Great link! Thanks for sharing.
I wonder how this looks if it would include the illegal immigrant numbers?
I believe this presentation only talks about the legal numbers. So can you imagine what the numbers really are?

Wow, what an eye opener!

If we cannot control legal immigration as stated in the video, by the year 2030 I don't believe we can sustain this type of growth. The controlled immigration levels of 1925-1965 maintained a tighter labor market, as a result income was growing in such markets. As the legal immigrants double, so does the infrastructure; and to build on average a school a day just to keep up?

This is sobering, why this is not out there for the mainstream media to report I don't understand. Thanks for the post bad_ptc.

Undocumented Woman Sues Chicago Radio Station Over Unrewarded Corvette

I would suggest that the radio station have the INS deliver it to her.
