- The Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News frequently publish
stories on legal and illegal migrants struggling to make a new home in
America. Those pieces, filled with sob stories enough to empty a box of
Kleenex at a 'chick flick', provide the fodder for a never ending flood
of immigrants seeking a better life.
-
- But they never talk about the other side of the coin
as those immigrants impact American citizens. The DP and RMN never talk
about jobs taken from American citizens by legal and illegal immigrants.
They fail to talk about the 28 million Americans living on food stamps
or 14 million Americans unemployed because immigrants take millions of
jobs annually. They fail to tell readers that taxpayers pay for the plane
flights, resettlement costs, food, medical, education and housing for immigrants.
-
- I've traveled in Nepal and Bhutan. Their cultures feature
water buffalo for tractors and no electricity in their rural areas. They
walk everywhere along with their donkeys they use for transport of goods.
Melanie Asmar, RMN journalist, reported that Som Baral from Bhutan, a
teacher, now bags groceries at King Soopers. His wages and taxes cannot
come close to paying for the costs of his daughter's education in our schools.
He and his family suffer with culture shock that few of us can understand.
Let's say you found yourself thrust from Denver metro onto a farm in Bhutan.
How would you like to drink out of a stream, hoe for food and use an outhouse
100 percent of the time and no more TV or electricity? You would never
see another movie. You'd go nuts in a week! Think how they feel changing
from a farm, culture, language and family-to Denver!
-
- Worse, we displaced a teacher out of Bhutan that impoverishes
that country far more by taking an educated man away from his culture.
Thus, both brain drain and leadership skills flit away into America where
Baral stands at the bottom of the intellectual and economic rung. America
creates a brain drain all
-
- over the world that impoverishes all those countries-leaving
them with bankrupted educational systems and economies. In other words,
we steal their best and brightest.
-
- Asmar reported Columbian Josefina Castro said, "I
like it here, but I want to go back to Columbia." Her federal aid
runs out next year. She's 80 so she hasn't worked or given a dime in taxes.
That happens to our country by the millions of refugee immigrants-cost
us untold billions of dollars.
-
- Whether they come from Somalia, Burma or Ethiopia, they
find themselves ripped out of their cultures, languages and family connections.
They arrive in the USA without any skills that benefit America. They
cost U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars in resettlement costs. They become
cab drivers, grocery baggers and other jobs that require no skills other
than showing up. At the same time, they take jobs away from American teens,
working poor and other Americans-who now stand in unemployment lines, soup
kitchens and living on welfare.
-
- In order to save all the suffering people of the world,
the U.S. would have to immigrate 18 million people annually that starve
to death worldwide. That's eight million adults and 10 million children
that die of starvation or related diseases annually! Can we save all of
them? No! How about saving them in their own countries? How about helping
them with water purification, farming techniques and family planning?
-
- Beyond the sob stories and the human misery, those reporters
never talk about the horrific impact of adding 2.4 million immigrants to
the USA annually. Each one causes a 12.6 'ecological footprint' whereby
12.6 acres of land must be destroyed to support that person. The average
immigrant causes an immediate 10 times more negative impact to as high
as 30 times more impact on our delicate environment. Each immigrant overloads
our carrying capacity. Those people represent a growing hyper-population
load on the United States that cannot be tolerated as we head into the
"Post Oil Era" whereby we cannot support 300 million U.S. citizens
and growing toward 400 million in 30 years.
-
- I invite the DP and RMN, and Melanie Asmar along with
DP Christopher Ocher to write about what Denver faces when our "unending
growth" causes our water to run out, the energy declines and what
we face when Colorado adds the projected six million more people-primarily
by immigration. In conjunction, we expect to add 100 million to the USA.
We're not talking a tea party here folks!
-
- Ironically, the world grows by 77 million desperately
poor and starving each year. We cannot save them by bringing them to our
country! We face mega planetary consequences that explode beyond most
readers' comprehension. The more we bring to America, the worse it gets
for all of us-faster! If you think I'm fooling, I recommend reading "The
Long Emergency" By Kunstler and "Peak Everything" by Heinberg
or my forthcoming book "Nation on the Brink: The Next Added 100 Million
Americans".
-
- Everything we face stems from hyper-population loading
caused by legal and illegal immigration. Sixty years from now, those journalists'
own kids will write stories about desperate Americans scratching out a
living in a country with an added 300 million people. We can no longer
afford mass immigration into America if we expect a viable and sustainable
civilization.
